After years of struggling and crawling in the crypto market, I’ve summarized a seemingly brutal but incredibly true rule: the more complicated your trading strategy, the more likely you are to become market "fuel." Those who make money? They tend to cut out all the fancy tactics and stick to the simplest, most effective approach.

With an initial capital of 30,000 yuan, I’ve grown it to 10 million—not relying on news or luck. It’s based on this logic: simplify complexity and master the basics to the extreme.

Looking back at this journey, wealth growth can be divided into three phases. Turning 30,000 into 120,000 took 2 years; from 120,000 to 600,000 only 1 year; and from 6 million to 10 million, just 5 months. You’ll realize a harsh reality—higher trading frequency actually slows down the rate of profit.

So how do I operate? It might sound a bit "rustic," but I let the results speak:

After a strong market rally and a pullback with decreasing volume, I enter decisively when volume breaks out again. This is the N-shaped pattern I watch. Once it breaks support, I stop loss immediately. As for leverage, averaging down, bottom-fishing, or holding stubbornly—none of that I do.

Discipline is the lifeblood of this method. If losses exceed 2%, I cut; when profits reach 10%, I exit. Don’t bother drawing a bunch of trend lines—seven or eight of them—and don’t let all kinds of indicators confuse you. As long as your win rate stays above 35%, your account can keep growing. But many people always want to break this rule.

My only chart tool is a single line—the 20-day moving average. Set it to a light color to reduce visual clutter. Spend 5 minutes each day glancing at the 4-hour chart. If there’s a signal, place an order and wait; if not, just shut down. The important thing is to stick to your plan and not miss any key opportunities.

At critical moments, taking profits and securing gains is also crucial. When I hit 1.2 million, I withdraw the principal; when I reach 6 million, I take out half to allocate to safer investments. Always keep only the money you can accept losing in the market.

Some say this method is too rigid, but those who can laugh last in the crypto world are simply disciplined people. Don’t expect to catch every wave; just master a few that you understand, and that’s enough.
