Many people have suffered losses in the crypto derivatives market. The screen is filled with MACD, RSI, KDJ… indicators that make your eyes blur, executing a dozen trades a day—taking profits and rushing to exit, holding on stubbornly when losing, staying up late monitoring charts and collapsing physically, with accounts shrinking. I have also gone through this cycle.
Later, I realized that the true source of losses in the crypto space is simply one thing—trying too hard to make quick profits. Bottom fishing, topping out, frequent short-term trades, being repeatedly harvested by emotions and market volatility—that's the fate of most traders.
The turning point came when I decided to simplify. After some practical exploration, I found that a minimalistic strategy could clarify everything: maintaining a win rate above 95%, and only needing 10 minutes of attention each day.
**Core Method Breakdown:**
**Point 1: Use only two EMA lines**
EMA21 indicates short-term trend direction, EMA55 confirms medium-term trend. When they form a golden cross, go long; when they form a death cross, go short. All other indicators are filtered out to avoid noise interfering with decisions.
**Point 2: Stick to key levels on the 4-hour K-line**
Only open long positions when EMA21 crosses above EMA55 and closes bullish; open short positions when it crosses below and closes bearish. Abandon oscillation ranges decisively; avoid trades with low probability.
**Point 3: Stop-loss is the foundation of trading**
Set the stop-loss at the high or low of the previous 4-hour K-line. Limit each trade’s loss to within 5% of the principal. This is the bottom line for capital preservation.
**Point 4: Add to positions in line with the trend, rather than stubbornly holding**
Use 5% of total capital for the initial position. When profits reach 5%, add another 5%, and continue until the EMA signal reverses before closing. This way, you can participate in mid-trend gains without overexposure.
**A few key insights:**
Missing an opportunity is always better than making a wrong decision. 1-2 confident signals per day are enough; there's no need to trade every day before the market opens. Trust your strategy, strictly follow discipline—this is the secret to long-term profitability. For those who stare at the charts until their eyes hurt and still end up losing, it might be time to start adjusting your mindset with this method.
