Do you believe it? Five years ago, I met a particularly special senior at an investment seminar. He was not the type to flaunt investment secrets but was low-key and pragmatic, rarely making public appearances.
We talked for a long time, and he shared his experiences in the cryptocurrency world. He told me he did not achieve success through complex analytical tools or strategies, but instead found simple yet effective methods amid market fluctuations—focusing on the most fundamental operational rules to steadily achieve consistent profits.
He said: 'Too many people make investment too complicated; the more complex it is, the easier it is to lose oneself. In fact, the secret to success is to simplify everything, find a method that suits you, and then stick to it.'
This statement deeply moved me. Since then, I began to reflect on my investment approach and gradually understood the deeper meaning behind his words of 'simplification.'
Through continuous practical experience, I gradually discovered that this senior's approach is simple and effective, even easier to understand and execute than those seemingly complex technical analyses.
Today, I would like to share his investment methods with you all, hoping it will help you find your own path to success in this volatile market.
Investment method summary:
In sideways consolidation, patiently wait.
When the market is in a sideways consolidation phase, do not rush to enter. Wait for the consolidation to end and the market direction to become clear before taking action, as this will yield better results.
Do not stay in hot positions for too long; replace them in a timely manner.
Hot positions are the focus of short-term speculation; once funds withdraw, prices will fall rapidly. You need to understand how to adjust your positions in a timely manner to avoid being 'left behind.'
An upward gap is a buying signal.
When a bullish candle opens high and the volume increases, the market usually enters an accelerated rising phase. At this point, you need to stay calm, seize the opportunity, and hold positions for greater profits.
Exit decisively after a large bullish candle.
Whether at a high or low, a large bullish candle is usually followed by a pullback. Therefore, even if it hits the limit up, you should exit early to prevent profit loss.
Operate based on moving averages and support levels.
When trading short-term, try to rely on moving averages and support/resistance levels to determine buying and selling timing. For example, do not buy when the stock price falls below support, and consider buying only when it breaks through resistance.
Don't act rashly during sideways trading.
When the market is sideways, it is best to remain observant. Do not chase highs or sell lows, and avoid making erroneous decisions in unclear market conditions.
Cautiously buy in and allocate in batches.
No matter how confident you are, do not invest all your capital at once. Before each investment, ask yourself a few questions: What is the reason for buying? What is my action plan? How will I respond if the market drops? How should I handle it if I get stuck?
