Having navigated the crypto world for these years, I gradually understand a principle: overcomplicating trading often leads to being harvested by the market. My experience might shed some light on this.

My account grew from 300,000 to 10 million, taking 8 and a half years. It sounds long, but breaking it down, the efficiency at each stage increased: reaching 1.2 million from 300,000 took 2 years; then multiplying fivefold to 6 million in just 1 year; and from 6 million to 10 million in only 5 months. There’s no insider info or innate talent behind this—just continuous simplification of trading logic and persistent execution.

Many believe that high trading frequency equals higher profits, but actually, it’s the opposite. I found that the speed of making money is inversely related to how often you trade. Focusing on a few core principles is far more effective than spending energy on complex indicators.

So, how exactly do I do it? I’ve summarized four points:

**First, focus on N-shaped patterns.** After a rally, when the price pulls back with decreasing volume, and then breaks out with increased volume, make decisive entries. If the pattern breaks, cut losses immediately. I never touch leverage doubling or averaging down and holding stubbornly.

**Second, two ironclad rules: 2% stop-loss, 10% take-profit.** No need for fancy trend lines or complex indicators. A 35% win rate combined with this stop-loss and take-profit ratio is enough to make money. Unfortunately, many try to break this rule and end up learning the hard way.

**Third, stick to the 20-day moving average.** Dim the color to reduce subjective interference. Spend 5 minutes daily checking the 4-hour charts. If there’s a signal, place an order; if not, shut down and go out. You can still catch profitable moves without being so tense all the time.

**Fourth, take profits promptly.** When reaching 1.2 million, withdraw the principal. At 6 million, take out half for stable allocation. The remaining funds are truly for risk-taking.

In the crypto world, the final winners are often those who stick to discipline. Instead of obsessively trying to catch every wave, it’s better to focus on opportunities you understand thoroughly. Having experienced all the ups and downs of the market, my current mindset is surprisingly peaceful. If you also want steady growth in the crypto market, give this method a try—it might help.
