Everyone in the crypto world has a feeling— the more books you read, the more you lose money. I’ve taken this detour myself and only later realized a truth: break down complex things into simple ones, and master simple tasks to the extreme—that’s enough.

I turned 30,000 into 10 million in over 6 years, without relying on insider information or any special talent. In the first year and a half, I accumulated 1.2 million; the next year, I reached 6 million; and in the last 5 months, I hit 10 million. Looking at this speed, it all comes down to one thing— the fewer actions, the faster the gains.

I focus on one pattern: the N-shape. A vertical surge, a diagonal pullback, then a vertical breakout. When the pattern forms, I enter; when it breaks, I exit. No averaging down, no holding through losses, and definitely no leverage. It’s that simple.

My stop-loss is set at 2%, and take-profit at 10%. Sounds modest? But as long as the win rate reaches 35%, it’s profitable in the long run. Many think this is too “dumb,” insisting on watching candlestick indicators, drawing trend lines, or chasing news. And what’s the result? The smarter people, the more they lose.

My trading approach is also extremely simple: the 20-day moving average, with a faded color to prevent distraction. Every morning at 9:50, I open the exchange, glance at the 4-hour chart. If I don’t see the N-shape, I shut down; if I do, I place orders with stop-loss and take-profit set. The whole process takes 5 minutes, and the rest of the time is for coffee and walking the dog.

Regarding withdrawals, I have a three-stage strategy. When I reach 1.2 million, I withdraw all the principal. At 6 million, I take out half to buy funds and fixed deposits. The remaining amount continues to roll over. The benefit of this approach is that even if the market crashes, the core capital remains safe.

I set three unbreakable rules for myself: first, don’t chase the rise—wait until the pattern is complete before acting; second, don’t hold through losses—accept the loss immediately if the level breaks; third, don’t fight the trend—take profits when your target is reached.

There’s no holy grail in crypto, only a sieve. The longer you sieve, the more gold will stay until the end. Don’t always think about those hundredfold coins; if you can steadily earn 10% over 20 consecutive times, you’ll realize that 10 million is just a matter of time. Many people never reach that point, not because of ability, but because of patience.
