Having been in this circle for over ten years, I have witnessed too many traders clutter their interfaces with all kinds of indicators, making their screens look like spaceship cockpits, only to end up with huge losses. I’ve never believed in inside information or genius theories. My story is very simple—growing from 30,000 to 10 million in capital, and the secret is just two words: simplicity.

**Initial Exploration (30,000 → 120,000, took 2 years)**

When I first entered the scene, I was also a chart indicator fanatic, staying up late staring at candlestick charts, but the result was more losses than gains. Later, I realized that most of the time, the market is just noise. I deleted all those flashy tools and focused only on one pattern—the "N-shaped structure" (volume surge → pullback with reduced volume → volume breakout). Once the pattern is confirmed, I enter the trade; if it breaks the previous low, I stop loss. I don’t use leverage or blindly add positions.

During last year’s market rebound, BTC bounced from 28,000 to 35,000, touching the 20-day moving average three times, but I only took action on the one true breakout confirmation, taking profits once I gained a segment and then decisively exited, never greedy.

**Scaling Up (120,000 → 600,000, only took 1 year)**

After my account grew, someone told me I should diversify my portfolio, but I went in the opposite direction—stop loss at 2%, take profit at 10%. Calculations show that a 35% win rate is enough for stable profits. The problem is that most people get stuck in regret: unwilling to stop loss after a decline, wanting to double up after a rise. My approach is to treat each trade independently—accept losses, cash out when profitable.

At this stage, I withdrew all my principal and used only profits to roll over. Later, during the bear market, I heard many stories of accounts blowing up, but because my position size was light enough, I took advantage of ETH dropping below 1800 to pick up some cheap chips.

**Sprint Stage (6 million → 10 million, only 5 months)**

In a bull market, it’s not about trading frequency but patience. I spend just 5 minutes each day checking the 4-hour chart. When the price is above the 20-day moving average, I look for bullish signals; below, I go completely flat. It’s that simple. I don’t aim for perfection—just follow the market rhythm, and the outcome will be clear.

BTC0,52%

ETH1,02%

The spaceship cockpit analogy is brilliant. The big shots I know are like that—having indicators piled up on the screen, but ending up losing even more. Honestly, it's still a mindset issue. Most people lose because they can't bear to cut their losses at that one moment. The N-shaped pattern is indeed interesting—simple and brutal, but execution is the real test. Checking charts every 5 minutes? How can you be so laid-back? I think about K-lines all day long. This guy has been honing his skills for ten years. He really has some skills, but going from 30,000 to 10 million still sounds a bit mysterious. The worst part is these kinds of articles fool me in, only to stop out with a 2% loss. Haha. I thought about the logic behind taking profit at 10%. It does make sense mathematically, but the problem is that not many people can really hold on.

The secret to making 10 million is simply living longer than others. Those flashy traders on the screen are actually betting against the market with probabilities, and in the end, when the cycle turns, they lose even their principal. The true survival rule isn't about indicators; it's about having the patience to watch others get liquidated. --- It's another N-shaped pattern story... It sounds like meditative thinking, but I want to ask—was that 35% win rate seen through a rearview mirror? --- I've never thought there's anything mysterious about turning 30,000 into 10 million. It's just about not dying in a certain cycle and throwing away greed like trash. Most people don't die because they don't understand; they die because of the impatience at the moment they want to double their earnings. --- While reading this, I was thinking that behind every money-making story are countless corpses of margin calls. Survivor bias is the real enemy. --- 20-day moving average, N-shaped structure... No matter how beautifully it's packaged, it can't change one fact—the market cycle makes everyone equal. He survived, but what about the next? --- What I respect most is the last sentence "Victory or defeat is decided." Truly, most traders won't even live to understand that sentence.

It sounds good, but how many can truly do it? Most people still have to leverage after hearing it.

The bunch of people with indicators stacked on the screen really should reflect on themselves; the result is still a complete loss. It's called complex in a nice way, but in a harsh way, it's just self-deception. Check the chart every 5 minutes? Really? How are you making money so quickly? The most heartbreaking part is the phrase "not willing to give up," which hits 99% of the pain points. Why does it feel like this story is told too smoothly? In reality, things are never that seamless. Taking profit at 10% and stopping loss at 2%? That ratio somewhat violates my intuition. Simple? Turning 30,000 into millions is no longer simple, brother. The N-shaped pattern and other basic concepts are indeed being overlooked.

The spaceship cockpit scene was really amazing, it's about those guys who boast about metrics every day. Stop talking nonsense, the key is to be able to stick to stop-loss, 99% of people can't do it. I only look at the 4-hour chart; at other times, I eat and sleep as I please. Making money isn't that complicated. The N-shaped structure sounds good, but isn't it just chasing highs and selling lows? Good luck if you make money, bad luck if you get liquidated. A 35% win rate for stable profits? I can't believe that math. Really? Even in a bear market, you can pick up chips, which shows that the capital volume is indeed different. Stop-loss at 2%, take profit at 10%. Have you considered that slippage might eat up half of the gains? Is this theory still useful in the current market? It feels like the volatility of thematic coins is too high. Compared to strategies, I think mindset is the hardest part; most people fail because of greed. It looks simple but is hard to do; a wave of correction starts to shake your confidence. Self-discipline is really necessary.

I think this is just a story, and its authenticity remains to be verified. But logically speaking, simplicity is indeed more profitable than complexity, and I agree with that. To be honest, compared to some N-shaped structures, mindset is the hardest lesson. Most people die from being unwilling to accept defeat. A combination of two percentages (stop loss 2%, take profit 10%) sounds too restrained, but if you can truly execute it, probability theory tells you you will definitely make money. The problem is that almost no one can stick to it. If you don't believe in insider information and support it, those "insiders" are just here to harvest the leeks. From 30,000 to 10 million, over a span of 6 years, with an annualized return close to 100%, this number looks very impressive, but 99% of people will fail due to their mindset when trying to replicate it.
