Contracts— the more fancy you play them, the faster you die.

Don’t believe it. Those who study indicator combinations and chase hot trends and copycat projects every day often get liquidated and exit. Conversely, those who stick to a few firm rules can still see steady account growth. Why? Because the market doesn’t need you to be clever; it only needs you to follow the rules.

I stick to three basic principles, so simple that you might overlook them—but they really work.

**First Principle: Only focus on two assets**
BTC and ETH, that’s it. Altcoins? Poor liquidity, news everywhere, pump-and-dump by whales at will—what do you have to win with? Mainstream coins have a stable size and relatively clean trends, which is the foundation for survival.

**Second Principle: Follow one moving average**
The 4-hour MA60. If the price is above it and the MA is trending upward? Go long. If the price falls below it and the MA turns downward? Go short.
No guessing the top, no catching the bottom. The trend is clear—why fight it? That’s just fighting your own wallet.

**Third Principle: Stop-loss and take-profit without sentiment**
Lose 5%? Exit immediately. Make a 10% profit? Take it and run.
No exceptions, no luck involved. Many people get ruined by "just a bit more."
