I spent 7 years turning an initial 2,000 into 30 million. No insider information, nor any genius tricks. I only later understood why the more trading knowledge many people learn, the faster their accounts shrink—because they add, I subtract.



Looking back at my growth trajectory, it can be divided into three distinct stages:
2000 to 3 million took 3 years; 3 million to 8 million only took 1 year; jumping from 8 million to 30 million took just 5 months. You’ll notice a very painful pattern—the speed of making money in trading is inversely proportional to the number of trades you make. The more frequently you trade, the higher the probability of losses.

**My entire trading framework revolves around a single pattern**

I call it the "N-shape pattern." A vertical surge up, a diagonal pullback, then a vertical break below. I only enter the market when this pattern appears; if it’s broken, I immediately cut my position. It’s that simple.

No adding to positions, no holding through drawdowns, no leverage. These three "no"s are the lifeblood of my survival to this day.

Always set stop-loss at 2%, take profit at 10%. A win rate of just 35% is enough to achieve stable profitability mathematically. Many people think this is too "dumb," they prefer stacking various indicators, drawing complex trendlines, tracking every piece of news. But what’s the result? The smarter they are, the more they lose.

My trading interface is extremely simple: only one 20-day moving average, deliberately muted in color, to prevent the eyes from misinterpreting signals.

**My trading schedule is also very clear**

Open the exchange at 9:50 AM every day, scan the 4-hour charts. If I don’t see the N-shape pattern? Shut down. If I do see it? Place orders, set stop-loss and take-profit, then walk away. The whole process takes 5 minutes. The rest of the time, I do whatever I want—drink coffee, walk the dog, read books.

This is completely different from those who stare at 1-minute charts all day, chasing highs and killing lows.

**I have a systematic approach to profit distribution**

When the account reaches 1.2 million, I withdraw the initial capital. This step is crucial—ensuring that no matter what happens later, the principal is safe.

When the account hits 6 million, I withdraw half again, buying some funds and fixed deposits. This isn’t about not trusting myself, but respecting probabilities. During a bear market in crypto, no matter how skilled you are, your account can still be halved. Having these stable assets reduces psychological pressure significantly.

The remaining part continues to trade and grow—that’s my growth engine.

**My three bottom lines**

First, never chase the market. Only act when the pattern fully completes and a clear entry signal appears. Those who chase often buy at the top.

Second, don’t hold through breakouts. The moment the level is broken, I must exit. Many are fixated on "rebound," only to get caught deep. I’d rather earn 5% less than be trapped for 20%.

Third, don’t fight the market. When I reach the take-profit price, I close the position. No greed. Many people take 10% profit and then want 30%, only to see the price retrace and wipe out all gains.

**On the long-term growth logic of the market**

There’s no holy grail in crypto; it’s all a matter of chance. As long as you keep screening for a long enough time with patience, gold will naturally settle.

Stop dreaming of 100x coins all the time. Do you know what happens if you can consistently earn 10% from each trade over 20 consecutive times? It’s just a matter of time and compound interest—an account of 10 million isn’t far from you.

I’ve already walked through the night; now this torch is in your hand. How you hold it, how you walk— that’s your choice. The key is not to let noise drown out your judgment. Simplify your rules, execute consistently, and time will give you the answer.

That's a good point, but I trust the simple principle of compound interest even more. --- The subtraction trading approach really hits the mark; most people are overwhelmed by indicators and news, leading to brain fog. --- The N-shaped pattern sounds simple, but this kind of self-discipline is really hard for retail investors. I've tried. --- Damn, going from 8 million to 30 million in 5 months? That growth rate always feels a bit fake. --- Don't chase the rise, don't hold onto losing positions, don't be greedy—easy to say, but hard to do in practice. --- I should remember this trick of smoothing out the 20-day moving average; it really reduces a lot of psychological interference. --- I feel this set of logic is the essence of being alive; trading is just bringing life philosophy into the market. --- Five minutes a day, five hours of freedom—that's the true meaning of trading, not risking everything to make money. --- People who gamble with a 2% stop-loss, 99% of them break within the first month. No one believes it when I say. --- A 35% win rate can be profitable mathematically, but the psychological barrier is truly hellish.

It still sounds like a story; the question is just that I haven't seen the delivery note.

honestly this N-pattern thing is kinda like how u verify farm-to-fork authenticity... except ur literally farming profits lmao. the whole "less trading = more gains" vibe? that's basically proof-of-patience tokenomics. respect the discipline tbh, but 35% winrate sounds like a poorly audited smart contract waiting to get rugged. where's ur decentralized reputation system when u need one fr

It sounds like a compound interest story, and the core is still mindset, right?
