In the first two years of entering the crypto world, I was a typical reckless trader. The screen was filled with all kinds of technical indicators—MACD, KDJ, RSI—all forcefully squeezed onto the candlestick chart. I had dozens of so-called market analysis influencers saved on my phone, constantly refreshing the prices of a dozen or more coins late at night, afraid of missing any movement.

When chasing a rally, I thought this time I definitely wouldn't miss out; when the downtrend came, I believed the opportunity to buy the dip was just ahead. My account was on a roller coaster every day—earning 20,000, losing 30,000, back and forth. After half a year of this, I hadn’t moved my 50,000 principal, but I had lost a lot of weight and my dark circles were deep. The most memorable moment was when I heard some "inside information" and heavily invested in a coin, only to see it cut in half overnight after a negative news release. Watching the numbers on the screen shrink that day, I was really tempted to smash my phone.

Later, one day, looking in the mirror at my exhausted face, I suddenly realized: is staying up late and losing hair over this crap worth it?

I deleted all those complicated indicators, uninstalled half of the apps, and only kept a 30-day moving average on the candlestick chart. The new rule was simple: only look at the market for 5 minutes each day. A quick glance at the trend was enough; the rest of the time was for drinking tea, spending time with family, and maintaining a normal routine. No matter how the market rises or falls, I didn’t care—no more late nights.

Interestingly, this method, which people in the circle mocked as "too lazy," actually made my account gradually stabilize. Turns out, less fussing around is the right way to make money.
