After eight years in this industry, people always ask how much you can make. I’ll be direct: during the 2021 to 2023 cycle, my account did hit eight figures.
Looking back at the three bull runs, my trading actually became more "effortless" each time. The first cycle took 30 months to grind from 50,000 to 1.8 million, staying up every night watching the charts and learning through trial and error. The second cycle reached 9 million in 15 months, by then I’d figured out the market rhythm. The third was even smoother: in 6 months I shot up to 32 million.
I gradually found a pattern: the more efficiently you make money, the less frequently you trade. Less tinkering, more observation—that's actually steadier.
My style has been laughed at by friends—I only trust the "N-shaped" pattern: a strong surge, a gentle pullback, volume drops to about half of the previous level, then a breakout above the previous high on increased volume. Once the pattern is confirmed, I enter; if it breaks down, I stop out immediately—never hesitate.
I never touch leverage, never average down, and strictly keep my stop-loss at 2% and take-profit at 10%. These rules are set directly in the exchange’s auto-trading feature—no need to watch manually. Some say I’m too rigid for not looking at moving averages or chasing hot trends, but those who chase news and tweak indicators all day usually lose even more.
My setup is ultra-simple: I only check the 6-hour candlestick chart and an 18-day moving average. Every day after close, I take a quick look. If there’s an "N-shaped" pattern, I set a conditional order; if not, I close the software and go do something else.
At key points, I don’t hesitate: withdrew 50,000 principal when I hit 1.8 million, moved 4 million to savings at 9 million. Never chase pumps, never hold losing positions, never get emotionally attached—these three iron rules haven’t been broken in eight years.
The first couple years I watched until midnight every day, but later I realized the more anxious you are, the messier things get. There’s no such thing as guaranteed profit in crypto, it’s just about filtering out temptations: the traps of leverage, the urge to chase hype, the noise of the market—what’s left is real profits.
Don’t dream of getting rich overnight. Secure twenty 10% gains steadily, and going from 50,000 to millions isn’t that far.
I’ve survived the darkest moments of full liquidation and waited through months of sideways markets. The next signal is coming soon—are you ready to earn steadily?

Bro, this logic is killer—simple and brutal, it just makes money. I'm still in the phase of tweaking indicators every day, and seeing this kinda stings.

It’s been 8 years and people are still talking about the N-shaped pattern. Is it really that mysterious? I’d actually like to hear what happened that time you got liquidated.

I have to try this N-shaped pattern. Compared to those people who are constantly tweaking parameters, it's definitely much less of a headache.
Cut your losses when the support breaks—sounds simple, but it's really hard to do. Most people just can't withstand those few points of loss.
Grinding from 50,000 to 1.8 million took 30 months, then shooting up to 32 million in the next 6 months—the shorter the time, the more you earn... that's real enlightenment.
No chasing hot topics, no looking at moving averages, and most importantly, truly having discipline. My friends who stare at candlestick charts all day end up losing even more.
Leverage is just a pitfall; avoiding it is the right move. That dream of getting rich overnight needs to go. Consistently getting 10% returns 20 times—now that's a genius approach.
Once you've set up the rules for automated trading, you should just rest; those who keep staring at the screen all day are basically working for free for the crypto market.
This guy is serious—taking profits, locking in gains, it's not just talk.

This methodology sounds reliable, but the key is still perseverance. Not everyone can put down their phone and not check the charts for 6 hours.
Guarding a single N-shaped pattern for 8 years, to put it simply—it really pays off not to mess around aimlessly.
The moments of leveraged liquidations must be the most memorable, even more thrilling than making eight figures.
I just want to know when the next round of signals will come, I’m already getting a bit impatient.
The true logic of making money is this simple; ironically, it’s the complicated indicators that do the most harm.

This guy is right, it's really about thinking more and acting less. Those who hype moving averages every day actually lose even more.

Eight years and 32 million, but the key is still that 2% stop-loss discipline—most people can't stick to it.
---
I truly relate to not chasing hot trends. Everyone who followed the crowd last year lost everything.
---
I've caught the N-shaped pattern a few times, but it requires extremely strong mental fortitude.
---
Going from 50,000 to 10 million sounds great, but how many times did those 20 times of 10% gains go wrong?
---
I just want to ask, when will this signal appear? I really can't wait any longer.
---
For someone to stick to three iron rules for eight years without breaking them is already better than 99% of people.
---
I totally get the part about watching charts till the early morning. Later I realized it was all a waste of effort.
---
Leverage traps are real. I've seen too many people lose everything.
---
Just 6-hour K-lines and the 18-period moving average are enough? Feels way too simple.
---
Withdrawing the principal was a smart move—it really takes the psychological pressure off.

Damn, these numbers—from 50,000 to 32 million. I need to do the math on how my account ended up performing so poorly...
2% stop loss and 10% take profit, you really can multiply your money a thousand times in 20 trades. The theory is flawless, but actually sticking to it is a real hurdle.
"Don’t touch leverage"—those words really hit home for me. So many people have lost everything because of it...
Just looking at the 6-hour K-line with the 18-period moving average—it’s a bit basic and plain, but it’s solid and more resilient than those indicator-heavy setups.
Withdrawing the principal after 1.8 million, that takes real guts. If I had that kind of mindset, I wouldn’t still be losing money now.
I’ve taken note of the N-shaped pattern. Next time the market consolidates, I’ll use that instead of chasing hype concepts.
Just one look at the closing price each day is enough. Sounds easy, but sticking to it is harder than going all-in and getting liquidated.

To be honest, I've been using the N-shaped pattern for a long time, but not as strictly as this guy. The 18-day moving average paired with the 6-hour candlestick chart is indeed excellent, but it's easy to get swayed by the temptations of the market.
