The tricks in the crypto world are numerous, but the real logic behind making money is actually quite straightforward— the more complicated it is, the easier it is to lose money.

Many friends around me have fallen into this trap: watching dozens of indicators daily, chasing hot topics, reading news, following others' calls, only to find themselves busy all day but losing more and more. Staying up all night without a good sleep, and their accounts actually shrinking. I’ve also taken this wrong path myself.

Now, after eight years of ups and downs, I finally understand a principle: effective methods are often the simplest. During the recent volatile market, I caught two good opportunities using a "single coin, single direction" swing trading approach. Today, I want to break down this idea and share it.

**Why can simple methods make money?**

There are too many voices in the crypto space. One says bullish, another analyzes a decline, everyone wants to chase news, and in the end, attention becomes scattered. I’ve seen too many people follow several coins at once, switching frequently, jumping into hot topics as soon as they appear. None of them truly understand any of the coins, the rhythm becomes chaotic, and it’s often buy then fall, sell then rise.

Those who truly succeed understand the importance of "abandonment." My idea is very simple: focus on one coin, stick to one direction, and master the swing rhythm. It seems simple, but it can solve the biggest problems for most retail investors—decision chaos and emotional impulsiveness.

**The three key points of the "single coin, single direction" swing trading method**

The secret of this approach lies in three points, which I will analyze one by one.

First, choosing coins based on stability. I only select one from the top coins, BTC or ETH, to operate. Why do this? Simple—these two coins have regulated trends, deep market capitalization, and sufficient liquidity, unlike some small coins that can suddenly plummet or even go to zero.
