No K-Line, No Watching the Price Chart: My Trading Secret Can Be Summed Up in Two Words "Self-Control"

Many people have asked me: “Why can someone who hardly uses MACD, RSI, and doesn’t watch charts all day like you turn 2,100U into 75,000U in less than two months? Is it just luck?” Today I’ll be straightforward: It’s Not Luck. I didn’t win thanks to advanced techniques, but through a very simple set of methods – even considered “stupid,” but incredibly effective. 👉 Below is the entire mindset and method I’ve applied – for those who stay up late looking at price charts, losing hair but their accounts still don’t move. I. Three Principles of “Not Doing”

  1. Not Looking at Short-Term K-Line I almost never look at minute or hourly charts. Not because I disdain technical analysis, but because I understand very well: short-term volatility is unpredictable and unstable. In the crypto market, fluctuations of 5–10% within a few minutes are normal. Trying to catch every small move is like trying to catch prey in a tiger’s mouth. I only look at the big trend, ignoring minor noise. Those movements that seem “predictable” on low timeframes are actually traps that cause many to panic and trade incorrectly.
  2. Not Day Trading I don’t swing trade. My holding cycle is measured in weeks, even months. Big money doesn’t come from a few percent ups and downs, but from long-term trends. Many people confidently “buy low, sell high,” but end up losing their best positions before the trend truly explodes. The most consistently profitable people I see are often… quite lazy: buy, hold tight, do nothing.
  3. Not Touching Trash Coins I only focus on top coins with real value and market consensus. Coins that multiply several times in a day sound attractive, but mostly they are tools for market manipulators to harvest small investors. I don’t envy those profits because I know the cost behind them is usually very high. In a bull market, the number of losers is even higher than in a bear market – because greed is overly amplified. II. Core Strategy: Hold Tight + Capital Management
  4. Capital Management Is Life I divide my capital into 5 parts, using only 1–2 parts at a time. When the market drops sharply, I don’t rush to go all-in. I only increase my position when the trend becomes clearer. I add to my position following the trend, not based on the feeling “it’s cheap.” My ironclad rule: Never fully invest all capitalAlways keep 20–30% cash for flexibility Many people lose not because they pick the wrong coin, but because they run out of money right when the opportunity arrives.
  5. The Art of “Holding Until the End” My trading frequency is extremely low. Once I buy, I’m willing to hold for a very long time. Crypto has its own cycle. History shows that multi-year cycles remain unbroken, influenced by deflationary mechanisms and crowd psychology. The winners are those patient enough to go through the entire cycle without wavering.
  6. Discipline Is More Important Than Technique I’ve met many highly analytical traders who still don’t make money. The problem isn’t knowledge, but the person. Greed and fear are the two biggest enemies. My simple approach: Plan before buying Clearly define when to sell Don’t act until the point is reached This method may seem slow, but it helps me avoid emotional trading – the main cause of most losses. III. Why “Stupid” Methods Are Effective? The essence of the crypto market is a combination of: Supply and demandMarket sentimentExpectations of value In a 24/7 trading environment with high volatility, the simpler the strategy, the easier it is to repeat accurately. Highly technical traders tend to behave predictably – which is exactly what big players target. Conversely, those who only follow the big trend and ignore noise are very hard to “lead.” For example, when the market was accumulating in June, many waited for a lower bottom. I chose to buy in parts because I believe in the cycle and trend strength. IV. Advice for Beginners If you’re just entering the market, remember: Use only idle fundsPrioritize large-cap, highly liquid coins Look at charts less, focus on learning the mindset Always have a clear plan for each trade Patience – big opportunities don’t come often One year might only have 1–2 truly worthwhile moments to act. Conclusion: Persist with a “Stupid” Approach, Abandon with a Smart One In this crazy crypto market, not trading most of the time is often the best choice. Many fail not because they are bad, but because they are too impatient, wanting to do something every day. Trading is not a game of luck. It’s a process of discipline, understanding, and patience. I’m not good at predicting, but I follow the trend. I don’t have complicated tactics, but I have iron discipline. The ultimate winner isn’t the one who makes the most money quickly, but the one who lasts the longest. My approach may look “stupid,” but it helped me turn 2,100U into 75,000U in less than two months – and many around me can verify this. Sometimes, slowing down a bit, keeping it simple, will take you much further.
