Many people in the crypto world find it increasingly complicated to learn, piling up indicators one after another, but as a result, their accounts actually get smaller and smaller. I went from 30,000 to 10 million, and honestly, there’s no secret or special talent involved. The one sentence that summarizes it all is: Make complex things simple, and do simple things to the extreme.



The first two years were the slowest phase. It took me two full years to grow from 30,000 to 1.2 million. But the speed afterward was clearly different — from 1.2 million to 6 million in just one year, and from 6 million to 10 million in only five months.

Later, I figured out this counterintuitive rule: how fast you earn depends entirely on how many times you click your mouse per day — it’s inversely proportional.

Now I only focus on one pattern, don’t laugh — just one. The N-shape. First a straight surge, then a slow retracement, and finally another surge up. When the N pattern completes, I enter; when the pattern breaks, I exit. No adding to positions, no holding through losses, and definitely no leverage. Stop-loss is set at 2%, take-profit at 10%. Even with only a 35% win rate, you can stay comfortably afloat in the long run.

Many people think this is “dumb,” insisting on looking at news, stacking indicators, drawing trend lines. Little do they know, the smarter you are, the easier it is to lose money in the market. On my chart, I only keep one 20-day moving average, with a very light color — just to prevent overthinking.

Every day at 9:50 AM, I open the exchange and scan the 4-hour chart. No N-shape? Close the software. See the N-shape? Place your order, set your stop-loss and take-profit. The whole process takes 5 minutes. The rest of the time, I enjoy coffee, walk my dog, and live a good life.

I never keep all the profits in the market. When I had 1.2 million, I withdrew all the principal. When I reached 6 million, I took out half to buy stable assets and fixed deposits. The rest continues to grow. If the market crashes one day, I can still sleep peacefully.

Here are my three strict rules:

Never chase a rally — don’t act until the pattern is complete.
Never hold through a breakdown — accept the loss when it breaks, stop-loss is non-negotiable.
Never fight the trend — take profits when enough, don’t be greedy.

There’s no holy grail in crypto, only a sieve. The longer you stay in the market, the more you sieve out, and what’s left is naturally money. Don’t always chase hundredfold coins; hearing stories of meteoric rises isn’t your story. But if you can steadily earn 10% 20 times in a row, then looking back at that 10 million figure, it’s really just a matter of time. The power of time is much greater than you think.

Looking at this post, I suddenly thought of my days of messing around with indicators... Now I realize I was just wasting time. I need to try this N-shaped pattern; it sounds much better than watching the market every day. Honestly, the fact that I can complete a trade in 5 minutes is the most appealing to me. I stare at the screen every day until my eyes hurt, but I still end up losing money—truly foolish. The power of compound interest is really incredible; consistently earning 10% is much more reliable than waiting for a hundredfold coin. However, I might not be able to set a 2% stop-loss; the psychological barrier is too tough.

That's exactly right, that's the point. I was also a metrics fanatic at first, but later realized that the more complicated it is, the more you lose. Now I can just focus on one pattern and live comfortably. The key really is discipline; most people die because of greed.

That's right, that's the point. My biggest lesson is that overcomplicating with too many indicators actually leads to faster losses. Now, like you, I keep things simple—survival is more important than making quick profits.

Exactly right. I used to be that kind of idiot who watched the charts and followed indicators every day, and as a result, things only got worse... Now I'm learning to simplify my trading logic, and I feel much more at peace.

It really has some substance, but the hardest part is still that mindset. A single moving average sounds simple, but persistence is hell.

Honestly, it's a bit unbelievable that this N-shaped pattern can reach 10 million, but the logic really checks out. The key is still that one sentence—don't overthink it, really.
