Many people lose money on exchanges, and ultimately, there's only one reason — the more complicated the operation, the easier it is to be harvested by the market.

In the crypto world over these years, my account grew from 300,000 USDT to 10 million USDT, not relying on insider information or talent, but strictly adhering to one principle: simplify trading completely and execute mechanically.

The process of capital growth follows a regular pattern. Going from 300,000 USDT to 1.2 million USDT took 2 years; from 1.2 million USDT to 6 million USDT shortened to 1 year; from 6 million USDT to 10 million USDT only took 5 months. You will notice a counterintuitive phenomenon — the faster the profit, the fewer the trades. Trading frequency is inversely proportional to returns.

My method is not complicated at all, just four iron rules:

First, only recognize N-shaped patterns. Volume-driven rise, volume contraction for pullback, then volume breakout again. Enter the market as soon as this rhythm appears, and cut losses decisively if support is broken. No bottom fishing, no adding to positions, no leverage — these three pitfalls are the grave of retail traders.

Second, fixed stop-loss and take-profit. Stop-loss at 2%, take-profit at 10%, just like that. No need to ponder trend predictions, nor to rely on various indicator combinations. With a 35% win rate, long-term persistence still results in stable profits. Most people fail because of the lucky psychology of "this time I can break the rule."

Third, focus only on a 20-day moving average. Adjust the moving average to be more subtle, reducing subjective interference. Spend 5 minutes daily reviewing the 4-hour chart; if there’s a signal, set stop-loss and take-profit and enter; if not, close the trading software. This way, you won’t miss real market movements or let trading occupy your entire life.

Fourth, realize profits promptly. When earning 1.2 million USDT, withdraw the entire 300,000 USDT principal first; when reaching 6 million USDT, withdraw half for stable allocation. Always keep only the funds you can afford to lose in the account. With a stable mindset, your operations won’t distort.

In the crypto world, those who survive and truly make money are not the smartest. It’s those who are most disciplined and can control their emotions. Repeating simple rules may sound trivial, but actually doing it requires defeating your own greed and fear.
