Some time ago, someone asked me if I made money in the crypto world. Honestly, I have indeed gained something, but to be frank—it's a bit cliché—I didn't rely on complicated technical indicators; instead, I used a set of methods that might seem a bit "simple."

If you had invested 100,000 USDT and followed this framework, it would now be worth 1 million. Honestly, I didn't expect trading to be simplified to this extent back then.

The methodology boils down to three words: trend, position, signal.

My habit is to only look at the larger timeframes, starting from the 4-hour chart. The market only has three directions: up, sideways, down—nothing else. When it's going up, I look for long opportunities; when it's down, I follow the trend and short; if it's consolidating sideways, I simply stay out. No matter how fancy the technical analysis, it can't fix a wrong direction. Mainstream coins like ETH are no exception—if you get the direction wrong, everything else is pointless.

Once the big trend is confirmed, the next step is to wait for the right position. Price doesn't move in a straight line; it jumps up or down step by step. The real profit points are at those key levels where the price "gathers strength"—buying at support or selling at resistance. Every line is money.

Once in position, I look for specific entry points on smaller timeframes. Everyone's signal system is different, but as long as you master one or two, that's enough. The people who truly make money in the market are not relying on fancy tools; they can quickly formulate a plan and execute it without hesitation.

This is how I handle every trade: before entering, clearly define the direction, set the position size, decide whether to go long or short, determine the entry point, and set stop-loss and take-profit levels. That’s all I focus on; I don’t bother with anything else.

Trading isn't that complicated. The hard part is never the method itself but whether you can control your hands and your mind. XRP, ETH, or any other coin—at the core, it's all about discipline and patience.
