After years of navigating the crypto market, I've seen too many people exit due to greed, emotions, or overconfidence. Today I want to share a relatively "simple" but effective trading method, with one core principle—discipline.



**Identifying signals is simple: N-shaped pattern**

Strong upward movement, volume contraction followed by a pullback, volume breakout. Enter the trade when this pattern forms, and cut losses immediately if it breaks. No leverage, no averaging down, no holding through losses. Many people think this is too conservative, but the market will always present the next opportunity.

**Risk management is the line between life and death: 2% stop loss, 10% take profit**

A 35% win rate can achieve steady profits, but most people can't do it. Because people always want to break the rules with "smart" methods—leveraging for reversals, holding through drawdowns to bottom fish. The result is often a single mistake that wipes out all gains.

**Analyzing charts doesn't require complexity: 20-day moving average is enough**

Don't rely on too many indicators, as they can be easily misled by noise. Lighten the color of the moving average to prevent overinterpretation. Spend 5 minutes every morning checking the 4-hour chart; if there's a signal, place an order and wait; if not, close the software. The remaining 23 hours and 55 minutes, focus on work or rest as appropriate.

**Take profits promptly: timely withdrawal is key**

When your principal has multiplied several times, withdraw profits gradually for stable allocation. Always keep only the money you can afford to lose in the market. Many people go from overnight riches to bankruptcy because they put all their assets in.

**Final thoughts**

In the crypto world, those who last the longest are often not the smartest traders, but the most disciplined. Don't always try to catch every wave; only a few opportunities that you truly understand can change your life trajectory.

Mainstream coins like BTC, ETH, SOL are suitable for this system due to their volatility; altcoins are too risky and not recommended. The most important thing is to find a method that works for you and stick to it repeatedly.
BTC-1,29%
ETH-1,02%
SOL0,13%

That's right, discipline really is the secret to longevity The key is that most people understand the principles but can't follow through I've tried the 2% stop-loss, and it really hurts... but when the price breaks down, you have to be ruthless and cut losses Honestly, it's about overcoming greed, there's no technical complexity Right now, I only watch the 20-day moving average, and turn off all other indicators Being able to stay alive steadily is truly better than soaring to the sky However, this method is really prone to explosion when trading knockoff coins Mainstream coins are still more reliable; with BTC and ETH, the risk is much more controllable Take some profits when you make gains, that's the most important point I've seen so many people get rich during a bull run, only to lose it all again... It's just greed

Honestly, this method is the secret to surviving and leaving. --- 35% win rate for stable profits? I believe in this data, but execution is the real hurdle. --- Five minutes a day, the rest of the time eating and sleeping—that's what the crypto world should look like. --- I've seen too many leverage turnarounds; they're basically the routines that lead to ICU. --- It's not about how much you earn in a year, but how long you can survive. The difference is huge. --- Timely withdrawals hit the mark. Some people really make double and still put it all back in. --- The N-shaped pattern is simple to describe, but the key is whether you have the discipline to actually follow through. --- Is the 20-day moving average enough? Those who hype a bunch of indicators might need to reflect. --- In the crypto world, the ones who last are not necessarily the smartest, but the least greedy. --- The ratio of stop-loss and take-profit may seem conservative, but it does seem to be the most probable way to survive.

No matter how correct you say it, most people will still go all-in Really, just looking at the 20-day moving average on the 5-minute chart should be enough, right? Why do I always want to look at the hourly chart? The withdrawal part is well explained, otherwise I would have broken even long ago The N-shaped pattern is simple, but I'm just worried about recognition bias A 2% stop loss and 10% take profit sound comfortable, but the mindset during execution is, tsk tsk Those who stick to discipline are making money, while emotional traders are getting wiped out. There's no fault in that statement

That's right, it's a matter of execution.

It's really hitting home; I didn't expect a 35% win rate. Not adding to the position has really saved me several times. It's that kind of method that can make money but can't make money. The part about withdrawals is the most critical; going all-in is just suicide. I believe in getting rich overnight, and I believe even more in going bankrupt overnight.

Honestly, following discipline is absolutely correct, but too many people can't do it. I've been using the N-shaped pattern for a long time; it's stable, but the returns seem a bit slow. 2% stop loss, 10% take profit. To put it simply, you can only make money if you're alive. Once you understand this, everything else becomes easier. Check the market every 5 minutes, do whatever you want the rest of the time—that's the real secret to surviving in the crypto world. I've seen too many cases of people losing everything overnight after running away with their withdrawals. The ending is never good when everything is put in.
