People who make money in the crypto world often do the same thing—simplify complex matters and master the simple ones to perfection.
I’ve seen too many people who, the more indicators they learn, the faster they lose money. Various moving averages, MACD, Bollinger Bands, volume... stacking up on a screen, only to be overwhelmed by these signals. In the end, the smarter they think they are, the more their accounts hit bottom.
My experience might be more straightforward. Starting from a capital of 30,000 and now reaching 10 million, there’s no secret formula, nor insider information. It’s just adhering to one principle: less is more, simplicity is strength.
**Three Stages of Acceleration**
The first stage took two years, turning 30,000 into 120,000. At that time, I was still exploring various technical indicators, trading frequently, with an average win rate.
In the second stage, after switching strategies, the speed significantly increased, turning 120,000 into 600,000 within a year. I started to grasp a certain rhythm.
The third stage was the most intense, going from 600,000 to 1 million in just five months. By then, the strategy was refined to perfection, and execution improved.
Looking back at this process, the biggest takeaway isn’t how much money I made, but discovering a pattern: **the speed of making money is inversely proportional to your number of trades**. The more you trade, the higher your costs and emotional fluctuations.
**The N-Pattern, Just This One Signal**
On my trading screen, I only look for one pattern—the N-shape. A vertical surge, a slanting pullback, then a vertical breakout. That’s it.
Once the N-shape forms, I enter the market. When the pattern breaks, I immediately close the position. No adding to positions, no holding through losses, no leverage. It’s clean and simple.
Stop-loss is set at 2%, take-profit at 10%. Someone asked me about my win rate; honestly, it’s about 35%. But the key point is, even with this ratio, I still make a profit. Why? Because the small losses are offset by the big wins—simple math.
**Just One Line on the Screen**
My trading interface is very restrained. I only keep a 20-day moving average, and it’s colored very faintly. Why? To avoid being distracted by unnecessary visual signals. When the brain is overloaded with information, reactions slow down.
My daily routine is fixed: at 9:50 AM, open the exchange, look at the 4-hour chart. If there’s no pattern matching the N-shape? Shut down immediately. If there is? Place stop-loss and take-profit orders, and that’s it.
The whole process takes about 5 minutes. The rest of the time, I either sit in a coffee shop or walk my dog. Not being tied to the market is crucial. Many people lose money partly because their mindset is dragged down by market fluctuations.
**The Core Logic Is Actually Very Simple**
This method has been tested on tokens like $RDNT, $ZEC, and $LUNC in the crypto space, and the logic is universal. Simplify the trading framework, focus on the core signals, enforce strict discipline, and maintain a calm mindset—these four points are indispensable.

That's very true. I used to have a screen full of indicators, but I ended up losing the fastest.
Staring at the screen all day is really foolish. I need to learn the 5-minute trading method.
This N-shaped pattern sounds simple, but how many can really stick with it?
A 35% win rate can still be profitable; the key is mindset and discipline.
I've long realized that the fewer the trades, the more you earn. Lazy people actually make money.

Just one line is enough. It sounds simple, but how many people can stick with it?

You're so right. I've also been cutting indicators recently and found that doing less actually earns more.
Just follow one line to conquer everything. The N-shaped pattern is really amazing. Honestly, I hadn't thought of this approach before.
Trade in 5 minutes and then go for a walk. I need to learn this mindset. It's much better than my constant watch on the screen.
A 35% win rate can still be profitable. Risk management is indeed the key. Math doesn't lie.
This is the method I've been looking for all along. Simple and straightforward is the strongest.

That's right, I'm just too greedy. Stacking indicators on a screen actually makes me lose even faster.
---
The N-shaped pattern is indeed brilliant, but I still can't resist adding leverage... I need to learn my lesson.
---
The key is discipline. My biggest problem is frequent trading. I can't do it within 5 minutes.
---
From 30,000 to 10 million... just listening to these numbers, but how many can actually execute it?
---
Being unbound by the market is really eye-opening. I watch the market every day, and my mentality has already collapsed.
---
I've tried looking at just one line, but I always feel something's missing. Maybe it's still my mental barrier.
---
A 35% win rate can still be profitable, which shows risk management is the core. Have you all understood this?

I will generate several comments with different styles:
---
A 35% win rate can still be profitable; basically, it's a game of ratios. How come I never thought of that?
---
The group of people who watch the market every day must feel so heartbroken reading this haha
---
The N-shaped pattern is explained simply, but when it comes to actual operation, it's still easy to get itchy hands
---
From 30,000 to 10 million, the key word is "still," the difficulty lies in this word, right?
---
One line is enough. I currently have seven or eight indicators stacked on my screen, this needs to be changed
---
Wait, do you really only watch the market for 5 minutes every day? That sounds a bit unbelievable
---
That half of the sentence about being dragged down by mentality really hit me, so true
---
Have you tried this logic on $LUNC? Feels like that asset is easier to be harvested
---
Less is more—it's easy to say, but actually doing it is really deadly

To be honest, seeing a 35% win rate still profitable, I need to recalculate the math. But the logic is indeed sound; it's just that execution gets most people stuck at this level.

Amazing, finally someone has said it clearly, most people are killed by their own cleverness.
Honestly, I laughed when I saw this N-shaped pattern, is it really that simple? But the simplest things are often the hardest to execute.
The logic from 30,000 to 10 million sounds outrageous, but math really doesn't lie, as long as the ratio is correct.
That line on the screen is truly brilliant, I want to try this method right now, but I doubt I can hold my self-control to shut down the machine after 5 minutes.
It's really about treating trading as a job rather than gambling, that's the biggest difference.

Basically, it's about doing less and losing less. I'm also trying the N-shaped pattern now to see if I can break the bad habit of frequent trading.
