To be honest, whether you make money in the crypto world depends not on how skilled your techniques are, but on whether you can stick to a set of reliable rules.

I still remember that desperate night—three consecutive liquidations, eyes red from staring at the chart, a single coin almost making me shake with loss. At that time, I was deeply involved in the theory of Chan, golden cross, death cross, all kinds of line drawing analysis, studying them obsessively. The screen was filled with so many indicators that I could hardly see the price itself. And then? No profit was made, and I almost got permanently eliminated from the market.

It wasn't until I forcefully abandoned those flashy methods that I started using the most "dumb" approach. Since then, my account grew from an initial 1700 USDT to 130,000 USDT, not because of some mysterious strategy, but simply by repeatedly performing straightforward actions and sticking to them.

**I used to be completely bound by technical analysis**

When I first entered the crypto space, like everyone else, I thought the secret to making money was finding that "magical indicator." Staying up late analyzing chart patterns, tracking various so-called insider news, constantly switching timeframes, watching the market 24/7. And then? The more complicated the method, the worse the losses. I experienced being scared off before a rocket ride, and also going all-in and getting liquidated. The most ridiculous part was that after being trapped, I turned into a "crypto love brain"—even though it was trash coins, I kept making up stories for myself, and even kept adding to my positions to lower the average cost.

The third liquidation finally woke me up: in the crypto world, it’s not about playing techniques, but about playing discipline and mindset.

**Three "dumb" rules opened my wealth channel**

**1. Only chase strong breakouts, don’t guess sideways markets**

Now I focus on one thing—whether the price has a strong breakout above the previous high. Once it breaks through, I decisively follow the trend and ride the wave.
