There is a strange phenomenon in the crypto world— the more you understand, the faster you die.



I have seen too many people with indicators piled on the screen, candlesticks blinding their eyes, scrolling through hundreds of messages a day, yet feeling more and more panicked when placing orders. Information explosion leads to a mental explosion.

My approach is exactly the opposite.

From 30,000 to 10 million, the first thing I did was not to add more technicals crazily, but to start deleting things—delete indicators, delete messages, delete those illusory expectations. In the end, only one thought remains in my mind: make simplicity to the extreme.

The speed of growth can explain the problem. Going from 30,000 to 120,000 took two years; from 120,000 to 600,000 only one year; from 600,000 to 1 million just 5 months. The more I progress, the clearer it becomes that true efficiency doesn’t come from doing more, but from doing less.

All my trading revolves around one pattern—a letter N. The first vertical is the main upward move, the diagonal in the middle is a pullback, and the second vertical is a breakout. When the pattern completes, I enter; when it breaks, I exit. No adding positions, no holding through losses, no fantasizing about a second wave. Stop loss is set at 2%, take profit at 10%. Even with only a 35% win rate, the account curve will still climb upward on its own.

This system is so simple it’s almost brutal, yet it’s more effective than 90% of so-called advanced techniques.

On the chart, I only keep a faint 20-day moving average line, not for analysis, but to set a psychological boundary for myself, to restrain wild thoughts. Every morning at 9:50, I scan the 4-hour chart. If there’s no pattern, I turn off the computer; if there is, I place an order, set stop loss and take profit, then leave the market. The entire trading process takes only 5 minutes, and the rest of the time is given back to life.

After making money, I do things even more "boringly." When I reach 1.2 million, I withdraw all the principal; at 6 million, I take out half and convert it into stable assets; the rest continues to roll over. This way, even in the face of major market crashes, I can stand firm, with a solid foundation, and naturally stay calm.

I set three iron rules for myself: no chasing (if the signal isn’t mature, better to miss), no holding through breakouts (exit without discussion when breaking levels), no dragging (take profits when enough, never fight the market). Sticking to these keeps my mindset clear.

Eventually, I realized one thing—there is no Holy Grail in the crypto world, only a sieve. Those who can filter out the noise cleanly, the remaining ones are naturally gold.

Don’t dream of multiplying your wealth a hundred times. Consistently earning 10% over 20 consecutive times, the power of compound interest will show you that 10 million is not a miracle, but an inevitability. I’ve already walked this path. The core of this methodology is: simplify trading, manage risk, stick to discipline.

That's right, the more indicators there are, the more confusing the mind gets. I used to be like that too, with the screen covered in all sorts of messy lines, and in the end, I lost everything in a complete mess. This simplified trading method is truly excellent, but most people simply can't do it. They always want to squeeze out a little more profit. This N-shaped pattern sounds simple, but managing your mindset during execution is the most difficult part, especially during the period when you see the limit-up and hesitate to chase. Compound interest rolling is key, but the prerequisite is to survive long enough; many people have already gone all-in and quit before compound interest really starts to show its power. Withdrawing your money at this step is very smart; many people get wiped out because of greed.

It's another story of "I went from 30,000 to 10 million," I've heard too many times. But this guy does have a point—especially that "delete things" logic, it really hit home. I'm the kind of person whose screen is filled with indicators, and seeing this was a bit of a gut punch. I feel like I've been doing complicated stuff, but the more I do, the more I lose. That N-shaped pattern sounds simple and brutal, and I'm thinking of trying it out. But honestly, can you really make money with a 35% win rate? I still need to verify that myself; just hearing stories isn't enough.

The words are correct, but this theory encounters a fatal problem in practical implementation—how to strictly enforce it? Most people get stuck at the psychological level. From a quantitative perspective, a 35% win rate with 2% stop loss and 10% take profit indeed outperforms mathematically, but the key is whether you can truly only look at the 20-day moving average... I have tested similar logic; decisions made in 5 minutes sound elegant, but once the market moves in an unexpectedly strong pattern, human nature starts to play tricks. The promised 2% stop loss, a 7% decline in one wave, begins to make the account self-hypnotize. Regarding compound interest, I agree, but the prerequisite is surviving long enough, which requires emotional management skills that are much harder to master than finding golden or death crosses.

It sounds nice, but the core is just living enough to be "boring." Most people die at the stage of over-trading, really.

That's right, I feel more comfortable the more I delete now. I've also gone through the hell of those previous indicator systems, with my mind like a highway. Now, just sticking to an N-shaped pattern is enough. Really, less information actually leads to more gains; this thing is quite magical.

That's very true. The simpler, the more profitable. I'm now only focusing on one indicator. Less noise makes me much clearer.
