Many people enter the crypto market and their first reaction is to study indicators, chase hot topics, and trade frequently. But the traders who actually make big money in this market tend to take the opposite approach.

I will use my personal experience to break down this path.

**The starting point is very simple: focus on one thing**

When I first entered the market with 30,000 yuan, my goal was very clear — no news, no chasing hot topics, just focusing on one pattern. This strategy sounds too simple, but how effective was it?

In two years, I turned it into 1.2 million, then in one more year, I reached 6 million, and finally, in five months, I hit 10 million. This is not luck, but the result of repeating the same action to the extreme.

**Complexity shrinks your account, simplicity is the secret to profit.** This sentence is worth repeating.

**Stage One: Start with a single pattern**

The logic of pattern trading is actually this simple:

Vertical surge → market pullback → vertical breakout again. That’s the N-shaped pattern. Once the pattern completes, enter immediately; exit at the first sign of a break. No exceptions.

Set stop-loss at 2%, take-profit at 10%. Some may ask, how to ensure such a win rate? In fact, even with a win rate of only 35%, this ratio structure can ensure long-term stable profits.

While others are still searching for the "most powerful indicator combination," you only need to find the most stable pattern in the market. More indicators only create noise, making you hesitant at critical moments.

**Stage Two: Let the market do the work**

After maintaining stable profits for a period, your thinking should elevate to another level. Turn off all indicators, leave only a faint 20-day moving average on the screen.

Your daily trading time is compressed to the limit — open the exchange at 9:50 AM, glance at the market. The judgment is quick:

No pattern? Shut down. Pattern appears? Set stop-loss and take-profit orders, then immediately leave.

Your entire trading operation might only take five minutes a day. The rest of the time, you can drink coffee, walk the dog, or do anything else. Your account grows in the background.

Many people's intuition is — relaxed trading can earn more money. This is no coincidence. When you don’t watch the screen obsessively, don’t get anxious, and don’t overtrade, your decisions become clearer. With a good mindset, the market also moves faster.

**Stage Three: Protect the principal, maximize profits**

This step distinguishes "making money" from "being truly wealthy."

Adjust the ratio: exit when gains reach 10%, cut when losses hit 2%. It sounds aggressive, but as your account grows, this discipline becomes more important than anything.

When reaching 1.2 million, withdraw the initial 30,000 yuan principal. This step is crucial — ensure the safety of your principal. When you reach 6 million, withdraw half to buy funds, fixed-term investments, and other low-risk assets. The remaining part continues to roll in the market.

The benefit of this design is that even if the market experiences a sharp correction or crash later, your principal and part of your profits are already separated. The account remains stable, and your mindset stays calm.

**The three secrets to truly reaching ten million**

I have seen many traders who make big money in the crypto market. Careful observation shows that it’s hard to find complex theories among them. Instead, they all follow these three simple disciplines:

**First: Don’t chase the rise.** Only act after the pattern is fully formed. Never intervene early. Opening a position before the pattern completes is like gambling.

**Second: Don’t hold on to losing positions.** Exit immediately when a break signal appears; the longer you hold, the faster you die. This isn’t about flawed analysis, but about listening to what the market tells you.

**Third: Don’t fight the trend.** Take profits when your target is reached; only the money in your pocket counts. Many people like to stay in the market chasing more, but end up losing everything in a pullback.

**Master the simplest method to the extreme**

Some say my success is luck. I never argue. Because luck is hard to define. But what I do know clearly is — I just repeatedly execute the simplest, most stupid method to the extreme.

No complex theories, no fancy indicator combinations. Just pattern + stop-loss and take-profit + time management — these three things are repeated over and over.

If you are still chasing and killing randomly, unable to find a clear direction, consider this: Is your operation too complicated? Are you paying attention to too many things? Is your mindset being disturbed by frequent small fluctuations?

Return to the basics. Choose a simple and effective method, give yourself three months, spend only five minutes a day looking at patterns, strictly follow the discipline of stop-loss and take-profit. This experiment might change your understanding of the market.

Opportunities in the crypto market are right there, but it’s never the smartest who get rewarded — it’s the ones with the strongest execution.
