#数字资产市场动态 36 years old, has been immersed in the crypto market for 6 years. The most frequently asked question, which is a bit of a punch to the gut—it's not "Where's the next hot spot," but rather a blunt question: "How much have you actually made?"

Today, I’ll lay out the numbers: walking through the entire cycle from 2020 to 2025, my account net worth has surpassed eight figures.

Looking back over three waves of market cycles in six years, I’ve actually become increasingly "lazy":

**First wave (30 months)** grew from 50,000 to 1,800,000. Back then, staying up late to watch the market was common, and repeated trial and error piled up the initial capital. **Second wave (15 months)** shot from 1,800,000 to 9,000,000. I got a good grasp of the market’s temperament, and my execution efficiency suddenly improved. **Third wave (6 months)** skyrocketed from 9,000,000 to 32,000,000. This time, there weren’t many fancy operations—just riding the trend, and it came naturally.

A sobering realization: the efficiency of making money is actually inversely proportional to trading frequency. The less you look and the fewer moves you make, the better your chances.

My method, once mocked as "rigid," is actually very simple, yet it carried me through countless bull and bear cycles:

**Focus on one pattern—N-shaped breakout**

Strong surge → gentle pullback (trading volume halved compared to earlier) → then volume increases again to break previous high. Once this pattern is confirmed on the candlestick chart, I enter the market. Stop-loss immediately if it breaks, no negotiations. No relying on subjective feelings—let the chart speak for itself.

**Mechanical rules**

Zero leverage, no adding to positions—these two rules keep deadly risks at bay. Stop-loss at 2%, take profit at 10%. This cuts losses and allows profits to run fully. All rules are programmed into an automated system, completely avoiding emotional trading.

**Simplify the market view to the extreme**

Only look at 5-hour candlesticks and the 18-day moving average; close all other charts. Check once at the end of each day. If I see the early shape of an "N," I set conditional orders; if not, I just close the software and spend time with family. It’s very comfortable.

**At critical moments, combine action with calm**

When my account reached 1.8 million, I withdrew the initial 50,000. The feeling of locking in gains changes your mindset. When it hit 9 million, I moved 4 million into stable assets to control overall position size and prevent greed from ruining everything.

I used to stay up until dawn watching the market, but later I realized I was overthinking. There’s no such thing as a guaranteed profit in crypto. Those who make money are simply those who filter out illusions—leverage traps, chasing hot trends impulsively, market noise—and keep only the real gold.

There’s no need to dream of getting rich overnight. A very simple math problem: if you can consistently capture 20 opportunities of 10% gains, turning 50,000 into millions isn’t that far away.

I’ve experienced the dark times of full-position liquidation and the long wait of sideways markets for a glimmer of hope. These are all costs. Now, the signals for the next wave are faint but present, and the entire market is brewing something. Are you also thinking about how to "earn steadily"?
