There's a method that sounds silly, but can make your principal nine times over

I have a fan who, when they first entered the crypto world, couldn't read candlestick charts, didn't know all the indicators, and didn't know where to find information. I told them to focus on one thing—the trend.

What was the result? 6,000 yuan turned into 54,000 yuan. Ninefold return.

Now they say: This trick sounds simple, but it really makes money.

In contrast, those who study charts obsessively and draw them like mazes end up losing even more. That's interesting.

I later reviewed it and found that making money only really requires three rules. They sound a bit crude and simple, but they are very effective:

**Rule 1: Act as soon as the trend just starts to rise**

Found a signal in the market? Invest 3% of your core position. Sounds conservative, right? But that's strategy. Pick mainstream directions, don't touch mini markets or trash projects. Just straightforward.

**Rule 2: Add positions during crazy surges**

Don't try to catch the bottom. When the main players are buying heavily, don't move—you'll get trapped as a retail investor. When is the real moment? When the market erupts, then go in and add 20%-50%. Only do operations that "confirm the trend is established." Sounds unwise, but very safe.

**Rule 3: Take profits once you earn**

Set take-profit and stop-loss levels ahead of time. Don't follow the market as it goes crazy. While others are still betting on the next rise, you've already taken your profits and stepped aside. Calm mindset equals victory.

Here's a true story: I know a trader who once lost over 400,000 yuan and was emotionally crushed. Later, following this set of rules, they recovered their capital in less than three months. They even said: This stuff is ridiculously simple, but it really makes money.

Think about why most people in this circle are getting poorer? It comes down to these points: swapping seven coins a day, chasing after pumps, always late on stop-losses. Pursuing excitement, but ending up repeatedly getting cut by the market.

Those who actually make money are often those who operate in a "slow, dumb, steady" manner. Not flashy, but the results are there. Using the "dumb method" can be terrifyingly profitable; using "smart tactics" can also lead to terrifying losses.

The choice is yours. Continue losing money with complex theories, or follow the logic? Cryptocurrency markets are inherently volatile, and the essence of trend investing is to follow. It’s not that you're too slow; it's that you're bumping around in the dark. The light is right in front of you—whether you see it or not depends on you.
