Let me tell you a true story about how I grew my account from 1,700 USDT to 130,000 USDT.

I used to be like most people, spending my days studying all kinds of technical indicators, constantly drawing lines on candlestick charts, thinking I was really professional. But after three consecutive heavy losses, I started doubting myself. Eventually, I stopped overcomplicating things and followed three basic principles.

First, only trade breakouts. I ignore all those consolidation ranges and shakeouts. I wait until the price breaks a key level before entering. If it's a real breakout, I follow it; if it's a fakeout, I accept the loss and get out. It might sound silly, but it's actually much clearer to execute.

Second, control your position size. I never use more than 20% of my funds per trade. If I make a profit, I take it; if I lose, I stop. This way, a single mistake won't seriously hurt me, and I won't give back my profits out of greed. Some people make over a dozen trades a day; I might only make one or two trades a week, but my account grows more steadily.

Third, follow the trend. I don't try to pick tops or bottoms. I go long when the market is rising and short when it's falling. There's no complicated analysis—just making sure I'm on the right side of the direction. Some people think this approach is too simple or not sophisticated enough, but the numbers in my account are more convincing than anything else.

I'm not some trading genius. I just repeat simple things and stick to basic principles. All those complex theories and advanced techniques often end up confusing people. If you're stuck in losses, maybe try this simple approach. Stick to it for a month and you might discover something different.
