Like most people, I used to obsessively study various technical indicators and chase trending news, only to find myself losing more money the more I researched. It wasn't until later that I realized the real way to achieve continuous capital growth is actually the opposite—doing less.
**Tip 1: Focus on a Single Pattern**
My entire trading system is this simple: strong surge → volume contraction and pullback → volume breakout.
Specifically, after the price rises sharply, it gently pulls back, then breaks through previous highs with increased volume—that's the entry signal. This "N-shaped" pattern may seem insignificant, but it filters out 80% of the noise, allowing you to focus only on the most certain part of the trend.
If the pattern doesn't confirm? Stay completely out of the market and wait. If the level breaks? Exit immediately. No subjective guesses—just strict rules.
**Tip 2: Extreme Discipline**
Never risk more than 2% of your total capital on a single trade. Never hold a position with a single penny of loss. Take profits once you gain 10%, and never be greedy for further gains.
You might think a 10% take profit is conservative, but with this risk-reward ratio, even a 35% win rate can lead to stable profits over the long term.
**Tip 3: Spend Only 5 Minutes a Day Watching the Market**
In the morning, review the 4-hour chart once, filter for stocks with rising 20-day moving averages, and if there's an N-shaped pattern, place an order. If not, shut down your trading platform.
Don’t watch the market obsessively. Really. Constant monitoring can lead to emotional trading and frequent stop-loss adjustments. Let the system handle it. Focus on eating, sleeping, and other things.
**Tip 4: Take Profits When the Time Is Right, Layer Your Gains**
When your account reaches 1.2 million, withdraw your principal. Once you make over 6 million, transfer half of the profits into low-risk products.
The benefit of this approach is that no matter how the market fluctuates later, your locked-in profits won’t shrink. Your mindset will also stay calmer.
**Why does learning more often lead to losing more?**
The crypto world is full of mixed information—various indicators, opinions, news all tangled together—making it easy to fall into "analysis paralysis." MACD, KDJ, news, community discussions... the more you look, the more confused you get from conflicting signals, leading to frequent stop-losses.
Actually, there are only three key points:
First, identify high-probability signals (like N-breakouts). Second, execute with discipline, without letting emotions interfere. Third, repeat the same effective action over the long term—don’t constantly chase new strategies.
The market never cares who works harder; it only cares about results. Doing simple things repeatedly and correctly is the fastest way forward.

That's right, the key is to simplify complex things; the N-shaped pattern really can save effort.

There's nothing wrong with that, but the worry is that even if you know, you might not be able to execute. Most people still can't stop themselves and need to look at a few more indicators to feel at ease.

To be honest, I also use this N-shaped pattern, but the execution part is too difficult... I always want to hold on a bit longer each time.

That's so true. I previously made a huge mistake because I looked at too many indicators.

In plain terms, it's about execution and mindset; most people fail because of impatience.

Really, it's because I study indicators every day that I lost money. I'm now learning to simplify and cut back.
