Many people get more and more complicated when trading crypto, stacking indicators all over the screen, but end up losing badly. I did the opposite—grew my principal from 30,000 to 10 million, not by relying on insider info, but by keeping things simple.

Let me talk about my three stages. First, from 30,000 to 1.2 million took me a full 2 years. Back then, I was just fumbling around and paid a lot of tuition in losses. The second stage, from 1.2 million to 6 million, took only 1 year because I found my rhythm. The last stretch, from 6 million to over 10 million, I nailed in 5 months. You’ll notice, the more money I made, the faster it grew and the less I traded—the truth is, this has nothing to do with frequent trading.

Now I focus on just one thing: the N-shape pattern. What does that mean? The price shoots up vertically, then pulls back at an angle, and finally breaks out above the previous high with another vertical move. When I see this pattern form, I enter; if it breaks down, I cut immediately. I never average down, never hold on stubbornly, and never touch leverage. I set a 2% stop loss, take profits at 10%, and a win rate of about 35% is enough. Others think this method is dumb, but as long as it works, that’s fine by me.

My actual operation is even simpler. I only keep a single 20-day moving average on the chart, and I set the color very light so it doesn’t distract me. Every morning at 9:50, I open the 4-hour chart and scan through. If I spot a setup, I place an order—it takes just 5 minutes. I just look at the major coins like BTC and ETH. The rest of the time, I go do whatever else I want.

What do I do after making money? I go in three steps: The first time I hit 1.2 million, I withdrew all my principal, and my mindset became much more stable. When it grew to 6 million, I withdrew half to buy mutual funds and fixed deposits, letting the rest keep compounding. That way, even if the market crashes, I still have a solid base.

Finally, my three iron rules: Don’t chase pumps, don’t hold onto losers, don’t get greedy. Don’t get tempted when prices are high, don’t fantasize when you’re stuck, and leave when you’ve made your profit.

There’s no holy grail in crypto—it’s all about patiently sifting for gold. Stop thinking about catching 100x coins. If you can steadily make 10% profit 20 times in a row, getting to 10 million is just a matter of time.
