Most people learn more and more, but their accounts get smaller and smaller. So who actually makes money? Usually, it's just about "breaking down complex things into executable rules."
My own experience is roughly the same—starting with 5,000 USD, eventually rolling up to 10 million. No insider information, no advanced technical analysis, just repeatedly following a trading system that "can survive long-term."
Two years ago, I went from 5,000 USD to over 100,000 USD; then spent another year reaching 5 million; the real rapid growth came in the last 5 months, pushing from 5 million to 10 million. The more I go on, the more I realize a pattern: fewer trades actually lead to faster account growth.
I only focus on one signal—let's call it the "N-shaped" structure. It’s a strong surge, then a pullback, followed by another breakout. As long as this pattern is confirmed, I participate; if the pattern breaks, I immediately exit.
No adding to positions, no stubborn holding, no increasing leverage—that's the iron law. Set stop-loss at 2%, take profit in the 8-10% range. Even with a success rate of only 30-40%, the overall profit curve remains steadily upward.
I basically ignore all those messy indicators; I keep only a 20-day moving average on the screen, with a lighter color so it’s less affected by emotions. Every morning at a fixed time, I look at a 4-hour chart once. If there’s no pattern, I turn off the computer; if there is, I place an order and set the stop-loss. The whole process takes about 15 minutes a day.
There is also a process for handling profits after making money. When the account exceeds 1 million, I withdraw the principal and part of the profits; once it surpasses 5 million, I start allocating some stable assets; the rest continues to roll in the market, so no matter how volatile the market is, it won’t affect my entire wealth.
My three bottom-line principles are very simple: First, don’t chase. Don’t follow the crowd’s emotions, Second, don’t stubbornly hold. If the level breaks, leave immediately, Third, don’t be greedy. Take profits when you’ve earned enough.
There’s no magic in the crypto world, just rules and patience. If you can stick to a method and execute it dozens of times, you will gradually see the capital curve start to rise. That feeling is actually compound interest at work.

Speaking truly, the three phrases "don't chase, don't hold, don't be greedy" must be learned through painful lessons. Most people end up dying because of chasing and greed.

Basically, it's about sticking to one pattern and not messing around with all those fancy things.
---
Can you earn in 15 minutes daily? Just listen to it, the real challenge is not to get tempted.
---
The three iron laws are correct, but how many can stick to them?
---
The N-shaped structure sounds simple, but everyone who has tried knows how much it tests psychological resilience.
---
Stories of going from 5,000 to 10 million are told every day in the crypto world. The key is replaying the strategies and risk awareness.
---
I agree with not adding to positions or leverage; many people die because of greed.
---
The phrase "break the level and then exit" is the hardest to follow. Who doesn't want to take another look?

Compared to advanced indicators, staying alive steadily is indeed more valuable.
