#数字资产动态追踪 Lately, people keep asking me: "I can't read candlestick charts or technical indicators. Can I still make money in this market?"



Honestly, when I first started, I didn't understand all those complicated indicators, nor could I tell what was support or resistance. But relying on a method that others might think is "stupid," I managed to grow my initial capital into eight figures.

What I want to say is—most people lose money not because of poor skills, but because they can't stop their fingers from clicking, their mindset is too fragile, and their desires are uncontrollable. Looking back, my early trading approach was just as reckless as most others: when the market surged, I chased high out of FOMO; when a pullback appeared, I immediately ran to cut losses. I heard the bull market was starting, and in a moment of excitement, I went all-in. As a result, I was firmly nailed at the top, and it took me years to barely get out.

There was a lesson I learned deeply at that time. When the whole internet was hyping that a certain wave of market was about to take off, I couldn't help but fire all my bullets in one go. Less than ten minutes later, the situation suddenly reversed, a huge negative line crashed down, and my account balance instantly became something I didn't want to see.

That day, I turned off my phone and sat by the window, staring blankly for half an hour, repeatedly asking myself: Is this really investing, or is it gambling with my life?

The turning point came afterward. I abandoned my chaotic previous logic and started following three "counterintuitive" principles: slow, patience, and knowing when to stay in cash.

And the result? Miracles really happened.

When I stopped chasing highs and selling lows, stopped risking my entire fortune on a single move, and stopped stubbornly holding on, my account began to show a steady upward trend. During market consolidation, I would sit quietly like a hibernating bear in winter; when a big bearish candle dropped, I would slowly and gradually accumulate chips; when the market suddenly crashed, I would add to my positions in stages—my hands might shake, but I felt very secure inside because I knew this was the market paying out.

After a sharp rise followed by sideways movement, my first reaction was to retreat in an orderly fashion. Even if I earned a little less, I wouldn't grit my teeth and squeeze the last drop of juice. Others often laugh at me for being too conservative and cautious, but by the end of the year, I earned more than they did from impulsive, reckless trades combined.

Later, I gradually understood: the real winners in the market are not those who can precisely read the market pulse, but those who can keep their inner stability amid market madness.

Not understanding technicals or disliking indicators isn't actually a fatal flaw. The key is whether you can control those hands that always want to operate recklessly. If you can do that, you've already left your peers behind.

If you're feeling anxious about the market right now, can't see the direction clearly, and your trades are becoming more chaotic—it's not a matter of talent; it's just that your method or mindset hasn't aligned yet.

Basically, it's about mindset. Technical indicators are really secondary. It's obvious that they've been through several cuts before they understand, I can deeply relate. Holding cash is the hardest part, much more difficult than buying and selling, no doubt. I'm still on the path of戒FOMO, every time I have to force myself to stay calm, it's so true.

That's so true, brother. This mindset theory really hits the mark. I used to be impulsive, wanting to cut losses and run at the slightest bearish candle, listening to rumors and gossip. Now I finally understand that technical indicators are actually just a facade; the ones who can really make money are the ones who can stay calm and patient.

It's really hitting close to home. I'm that person who can't stop hands. Every time I say I won't chase this time, but I still end up FOMOing in.
