From 4,800U to the tens of millions level! I only use this “minimalist mechanical” approach

When I review the trades from the past few years, many people ask me what exactly helps me achieve a leap in social class. The truth is extremely boring: no mysterious indicators, no insider information, and no such thing as “chart feel.” What I rely on is a mechanized trading system that cleanly strips away human weaknesses.

In this market, most people lose money not because they are not smart enough, but because they want to show off their cleverness too much. They get addicted to complicated wave theories and divergence in Chan Theory, trying to predict every market turning point—only to be repeatedly harvested through frequent subjective guesses. Those who can grow small capital into big money often do so by simplifying, not complicating.

Today I’m sharing a “Four-Step Minimalist Rules” approach that I’ve strictly followed for many years. It looks clumsy, but it’s the only shortcut to survive bull and bear markets:

First step: Only trade the right side—give up the obsession with bottom-fishing.
Don’t try to guess where the bottom is, and don’t try to buy in during the very first second of a move up. In my watchlist, there are always only those assets that have already formed a clear uptrend, with the daily MACD forming a golden cross above the zero line. Even if the purchase cost is 10% higher than others, that is a premium you pay for certainty. For small capital, the biggest fear isn’t missing out—it’s the endless torment of a drifting down move after buying halfway up the mountain.

Second step: Filter using larger timeframes—reject intraday noise.
Forget 15-minute and 1-hour charts; those are slaughterhouses where quant machines and emotional games battle it out. Open up your perspective—only look at the key support and resistance levels on the daily and 4-hour timeframe. As long as the price stays steadily above the core moving averages, you hold onto your positions tightly; once a daily close falls below the defense line, you liquidate unconditionally at the next day’s open. Don’t rely on feelings, don’t listen to stories—only recognize objective price action.

Third step: Enter when price and volume resonate—take profits in batches.
When breaking through a key level, you must see trading volume expand at the same time—that’s the real breakout driven by real money. After establishing your position, you never assume you can sell all at the absolute top in one go. When the price rise reaches 30%-40%, first pull back your principal or lock in part of the profits; for the remaining position, as long as the trend hasn’t broken, let the profits run on their own. This both protects your mindset and preserves the possibility of capturing extra returns.

Fourth step: A stop-loss is not failure—it’s the cost of trading.
This is the most anti-human step. When it touches the defense line, cut immediately—don’t have any lucky-hope mindset, and don’t add to average down to cover losses. Treat it like the rent you pay for opening a shop, or the freight cost you pay for your inventory. As long as your win rate and risk-reward are reasonable, a few small losses won’t damage your body or bones. Keep the green mountains, and you won’t fear having no firewood to burn.

From a few thousand U to assets in the tens of millions, it’s never about a single stroke of inspiration, but about not making fatal mistakes through hundreds of repetitive, boring cycles. When you no longer slap your thigh because you missed some 100x coin, and you no longer fight the market just to prove you’re right, then your trading is truly getting started.

Remember: the market is never short of smart people; what’s missing are honest people who are willing to get rich slowly. Some money is rolled out just by using this stupid-simple method.
