There are many stories of making money in the crypto world, but the cases of turning 20,000 into 8 million often overlook the underlying logic. When asked about the secret, the answer is so simple that no one believes it—make complex things simple, and do simple things to the extreme.



One trader’s growth path looks like this:

20,000 → 800,000 (took 2 years), 800,000 → 4.8 million (took 1 year), 4.8 million → 8 million (took 6 months). The numbers are accelerating, but the methods are actually being simplified. What does this indicate? The speed of making money is inversely proportional to the number of times you take action.

His trading framework consists of only four layers:

**First Layer: Recognize only one pattern—N-shape**
Strong rally → retracement with decreased volume → breakout with increased volume. Enter when the pattern forms, exit immediately if it breaks. No leverage, no adding to positions, no holding through losses. It’s that simple and straightforward.

**Second Layer: Stick to two rules—2% stop-loss, 10% take-profit**
No need to draw a bunch of trend lines, no need to watch thirty indicators. A 35% win rate is enough to be profitable, but the key is that 99% of people can’t do it—they always try to "be clever" and break the rules.

**Third Layer: Focus on only one moving average—20-day MA**
Dim the color to prevent overthinking the market. Spend five minutes every morning scanning the 4-hour chart—if there’s a signal, place an order; if not, turn off the computer. The rest of the time, work or enjoy life.

**Fourth Layer: Withdraw profits to realize gains**
When reaching 800,000, withdraw the principal. When reaching 4.8 million, take out half for conservative allocation. Always keep in the market only the money you can afford to lose.

Many people will laugh at this method as "dumb." But those who survive longer in the crypto space are often not the smartest, but the most disciplined. Don’t always try to catch every wave; what truly makes people turn their fortunes around is catching the few markets you truly understand. In a noisy market, simplicity is strength.

Wow, I've been using this N-shaped pattern for a long time, but too many people always think they can be smarter than others and insist on changing the rules.

To be honest, this method is indeed clumsy, but it makes sense to be clumsy. The difficulty lies in the fact that 99% of people simply cannot stick to these four layers of framework, always thinking they can outsmart it.

Oh no, it's that "N-shape + 20-day moving average" argument again... It sounds nice, but what's the reality? Most people can't hold on for more than two weeks.

To be honest, this framework does sound a bit "silly," but I believe it's this kind of foolishness that is the threshold for making money. Most people fail because they try to be "smart," and as a result, they end up losing the most.

Basically, making money depends on discipline, not intelligence. Why do I always keep thinking about going all-in in one shot?

That's right, it's about maintaining discipline and not messing around. I believe in the logic of a 35% win rate being profitable, but the key is to resist the urge to increase leverage.

To be honest, I've been using this N-shaped pattern for a while, but it's easy to get itchy and add leverage recklessly... The key is self-discipline, brother.

ngl the discipline part hits different... most people out here trying to be geniuses when they should just be boring and consistent, technically speaking

That's right, it's all about the difference in execution. The seemingly clumsy methods tend to last the longest, while those around me who study metrics every day are gone.
