# This "Dumb Method" Earned Me 2 Million in the Crypto Market, with a Near-Perfect Win Rate
To be honest, these 9 rules are so simple that you can start using them right after reading. The hard part isn't understanding them, but whether you can truly stick to them.
**Rule 1: The market crashes, but your coin doesn't budge?** Don't panic. When the market is in chaos but your coin remains steady, it means there's money supporting it. In this situation, you should hold on tight—there's usually more to come.
**Rule 2: Beginners don't know when to buy or sell? Just look at moving averages** For short-term trades, watch the 5-day MA—hold if the price is above it, sell immediately if it drops below. For mid-term, look at the 20-day MA—hold above, clear your position if it breaks below. Find the indicator that matches your rhythm, stick to it relentlessly, and don't get greedy.
**Rule 3: How to catch the main upward wave? Watch the trading volume** If the coin starts a main upward trend but volume hasn't surged, jump in. If price rises with high volume, keep holding. If it drops on low volume and the trend remains intact, also hold. If you see high-volume drops breaking the trendline, don't hesitate—reduce your position and exit.
**Rule 4: Iron rule for short-term—Three-Day Rule** If you buy and after three days there's no movement or profit, get out if you can—don't waste your time. If you're down 5%, cut your losses without hesitation—never hold and hope for a reversal.
**Rule 5: Spotting oversold rebound signals** If a coin has dropped 50% from its peak and has fallen for 8 consecutive days, that's a classic oversold pattern. The rebound window could open anytime. Try a small position, take profits quickly when you have them.
**Rule 6: Only trade market leaders, never touch junk coins** Leaders rise the most and are the most resilient. Don't pick up junk just because "it's dropped a lot," and don't be afraid to chase leaders because "they've risen too much." Remember: buy high, sell higher—riding the trend is key.
**Rule 7: Trade with the trend, don't try to guess tops and bottoms** The best buy price isn't the cheapest, it's the one that fits the trend. In a downtrend, don't call a bottom lightly. Abandon weak coins without hesitation—trend is the core logic of making money. Fighting the trend is almost always a death wish.
**Rule 8: Don't get cocky after a win—reviewing is key** Getting excited and reckless after a win is a big no-no. The real challenge is consistent, stable profits. After every trade, review carefully: was this win luck or skill? Build a trading system that suits you if you want to survive long term.
**Rule 9: Only real pros know how to stay in cash** If you're not confident, don't trade. Staying in cash isn't giving up—it's actively avoiding risk. Always think about preserving capital before thinking about making money. It's not about who trades more, but who wins more often.

These 9 rules may not seem technical, but very few people can actually follow through. The market isn't short on smart people; what's missing are those who can stick to their principles.

That's right, discipline is key. I've fallen on rule eight too many times—got greedy after making profits and ended up giving it all back.
Being able to stay in cash is truly a great wisdom; I'm only now fully realizing this.
I've tried sticking strictly to moving averages, and it's indeed effective, but it tends to cause frequent entries and exits.
Leaders are leaders, but I still can't resist picking up garbage coins... I really need to fix this habit.
The 5-day and 20-day moving average combo really suits my style.
The most painful part is reviewing trades—most people just celebrate after making money and never reflect on how they made it.
This set of rules looks simple, but actually following them is real torture.

To put it simply, it's a matter of self-discipline. Most people forget about it as soon as they turn away after reading. I'm truly practicing rule number nine: staying out of the market when things are quiet, so I don't get controlled by emotions.

Simply put, it's all about self-discipline. Most people are already triggered after reading the first point.
Execution is the most valuable thing, not technique.
I knew about this system last year, but by the time I actually put it into practice, I'd already lost half my money.
That fourth rule, the three-day rule, is brutal—it directly shatters most people's illusions.
Very few people can stay in cash. I'm in cash right now, and it's so damn hard watching others chase the highs.
Is that 2 million real? Sounds a bit far-fetched.
But rough words often hold true—fighting the trend head-on is how most people get wiped out.
The core of this article is just one thing: cut losses and stay in cash; everything else is just details.
After reading this, I want to trade again. I really need to fix this problem.

That's right, easier said than done... I'm the type who feels fully revived after reading something, but then completely denies it all when the next market cycle comes.

What you said is absolutely right, but actually putting it into practice is just incredible.

2 million sounds great, but I'll bet 5 bucks that half the people here will forget it all by the next day.
---
I’m convinced by that "three-day rule" in the fourth point—so many people fail just because they keep saying "let's wait a little longer."
---
Leader or not, at the end of the day, you still need discipline. Without that, nothing else matters.
---
The key is this one line: "What’s lacking is people who can stick to their principles." It sounds ridiculously simple, but it’s the hardest thing to do.
---
I truly believe that part about staying in cash. Watching others make money and resisting the urge to jump in takes some serious mental strength.
---
It feels like it’s all about mindset and execution—technique is actually secondary.
---
So the core is: don’t be greedy, don’t be impatient, and know how to cut your losses. Sounds easy, but it’s insanely hard to do.

Simply put, it's self-discipline. Most people lose at the eighth point: once they make a profit, they get reckless.
