After so many years of trading cryptocurrencies, I finally understand a principle.

Those who make trading overly complicated end up working for others—becoming the market’s cash machine. I went from 30,000 to 10 million in capital, with no insider info and no special talent. The only thing I did right was constantly cutting away complexity and pushing simple strategies to the extreme.

This journey has been divided into three phases. From 30,000 to 120,000 took two years. From 120,000 to 600,000 took just one year. From 600,000 to 1 million, it was completed in 5 months. The process gets faster as I go because I become increasingly "lazy"—this laziness is actually the ultimate simplification of strategy.

My method is so simple it’s almost absurd.

**Rule 1: Only trade the N-shaped pattern.** After a strong rally, wait for volume to decrease and pull back, then break out with increased volume. Enter the position once the pattern is confirmed. If it breaks support, cut immediately. No adding to positions, no holding through losses, no leverage. That’s all the rules.

**Rule 2: Stick to one line.** Always set a 2% stop-loss and a 10% take-profit. I don’t aim for high win rates; 35% is enough. You need to be able to accept losses to wait for those few profitable opportunities.

**Rule 3: Only watch the 20-day moving average.** Spend 5 minutes daily scanning the 4-hour chart. If there’s a signal, place an order and wait. If not, just close the software and go to sleep.

**Rule 4: Take profits when you earn.** When you reach 120,000, withdraw your principal. When you hit 600,000, take out half. In the market, always leave only the "money you’re willing to earn."

Some say I’m using a foolish method. But I tell you, in the crypto world, the ones who survive are never the smartest, but the most disciplined.

Don’t delude yourself into trying to catch every market move. The few times you understand the trend are already enough to turn your situation around. I’ve already moved on; I leave this torch here. If you want to walk the steady path, walk forward with me.

Hmm... 2% stop loss, 10% take profit. I’ve calculated this math problem, and the probability of winning is just a guaranteed win.

That's right, the ones who can't be bothered with all those tricks live the longest.

That's right, but most people can't do this.

Really, simplicity is the key, and that's how I play too.

That's right, it really comes down to being able to endure loneliness. --- A 35% win rate can make money, I believe that. The main issue is that most people simply can't stick to discipline. --- Listening to the story of going from 30,000 to 10 million sounds great, but who can guarantee they won't go all-in at 6 million, haha. --- I've tried this method, and after two weeks I couldn't take it anymore, always wanting to add more to my position. --- The key is withdrawal. You must truly have discipline to take the money out; many people make money only to lose it all back. --- I'm also using the N-shaped strategy, but I wait for signals until I fall asleep, then wake up and miss the opportunity. --- The hardest part of a simple method isn't learning it, but maintaining the mindset to withstand seeing others get rich while you stay steady and earn. --- That's how the crypto world is. The simpler the rules, the longer they last; the more complex, the easier it is to become a leek (a victim).
