Once you reach a certain scale in trading, I increasingly realize a paradox: the more you try to play tricks, the easier it is to lose money.

With just tens of thousands of yuan as capital, I managed to grow to millions, stumbling through countless pitfalls along the way. Only then did I understand that the so-called secret to profitability isn’t that mysterious—it’s just two words: simplicity.

Look at the people around me—full of indicators on their screens, staring at K-line charts 24/7. And what’s the result? Most have become "tools" for the big players. I have no special talent, nor insider information. The only thing I did right was to cut out all the flashy stuff and repeatedly refine the logical basis for making money.

**I only recognize one pattern in my trading**

Let’s call it the N-shape structure—after a strong surge, a volume decline and a pullback, then a volume increase that breaks through the previous high. That’s my signal to enter. If it breaks down, I exit decisively—no adding positions, no betting, no trying to recover losses.

It sounds very basic, right? But this pattern is enough. Many people get stuck trying to find the "perfect signal," and as a result, they miss the best opportunities to profit.

**There are only two ironclad rules**

Rule one: When losses reach 2%, stop-loss unconditionally—don’t hesitate. Rule two: When you make 10%, take half off immediately, and let the rest fluctuate freely.

In my software, I only use a 20-day moving average, deliberately set to a light color so it doesn’t interfere with judgment. I spend just 5 minutes each day scanning the four-hour chart—if I see a signal, I place an order; if not, I close the software and do something else.

My win rate is actually just over 30%, but if you do the math, it’s clear—3 wins of 10%, 7 losses of 2% each, and over a cycle, you still come out ahead. Math is cruel, but the rules are fair.

**Most people fall into the "being smart" trap**

They’re always trying to improve rules, find better strategies. But market changes are so rapid that parameters considered perfect today might be invalid tomorrow. Instead of constantly optimizing, it’s better to focus on execution.

Another key point often overlooked: the profits must be withdrawn. First, withdraw the principal in batches to a safe place. When profits reach a certain scale, shift to more stable allocations. The only part left in the trading market should be the portion you can afford to lose. Many people fail to do this step properly—the profits they earn are wiped out by an unexpected market move.

In the crypto world, the longest-lasting traders are not the best predictors, but those who follow the rules. The real opportunities to turn things around are just a few—understand them, hold on, and that’s enough.

If you’re tired of all kinds of complicated indicators, exhausted from staying up late watching the charts, and want a solid, reliable trading method, then take a look at the practical details I’ll share later. I will slowly break down these proven methods from my years of experience, helping you avoid detours and steadily seize those genuine profit opportunities.
