After 5 years of grinding in the crypto world, I grew my initial capital of 30,000 to over 20 million, not through luck but through a trading system that is extraordinarily simple. Today, I will share all my secrets; whether you are a newbie just entering the market or an old-timer stuck in losses, follow this guide and you can at least avoid 3 years of detours.
1. The silly method that allows me to 'always profit'
You might not believe it, but the core of my method is just four words: stick to discipline. My win rate has consistently remained above 80%, not due to precise predictions but by repeating simple tasks.
Always leave half of your position.
No matter how good the market is, never exceed 50% position in a single coin, and keep the total position controlled at 50-70%. Even when encountering a black swan, you still have bullets to average down; when the market comes, you have chips to increase positions. When LUNA collapsed last year, I managed to buy the rebound at the bottom because I kept 30% cash.
Only engage in patterns you can understand.
Spend 2 hours every day reviewing, focusing only on 10 classic chart patterns: short when the head and shoulders top breaks, long when the cup and handle pattern forms, and follow through when the triangle breaks. These patterns are the results of battles between bulls and bears, more reliable than any news. I remember when SOL formed an inverted head and shoulders pattern last year, I decisively went heavy and quadrupled my investment in three weeks.
Take profits when you have enough, cut losses when you are down.
If you profit over 20%, forcibly withdraw half of the profits; if you incur a loss of 10%, no matter how reluctant, stop loss. Once ETH rose from 1800 to 2400, I withdrew 300,000 according to my discipline, and later it retraced to 2000. Seeing that my profits hadn’t shrunk made me realize how important it is to 'secure profits.'
2. Practical uses of 10 major chart patterns (with trading signals).
These patterns are life-saving symbols I summarized from countless liquidations; remembering just one can help avoid many pitfalls.
[Reversal pattern] The key to catching tops and avoiding bottoms.
Head and shoulders pattern: When the heights of the left and right shoulders are similar and the head is the highest, short immediately after breaking the neck line. Last year, BTC formed a head and shoulders top at 69,000, I entered a short position and directly profited from a 15,000 point drop.
Double top/bottom: Two equal high points are a top, and two equal low points are a bottom. BNB formed a double top at $350, and I decisively took profits, avoiding a subsequent drop of $100.
Round bottom: Wait for the pattern that looks like a bowl to break the neck line before buying. After ADA's round bottom broke last year, it rose from $1.2 to $2.8; those who held on made a fortune.
[Continuation pattern] A skill that lets profits soar.
Flag pattern: The straighter the pole, the longer the flag consolidates, and the stronger the breakout. Last year, SOL's pole increased by 3 times, consolidated for a month, and then rose another 2 times after the breakout.
Triangle pattern: Prepare to act when converging to a vertex; buy when an upward trend breaks the upper boundary and short when a downward trend breaks the lower boundary. DOT rose 50% in three days after breaking the triangle.
3. Rolling strategy from 10,000 to 10 million.
I saved up 10,000 in capital through small projects during college, and after entering the market, I relied on this strategy to grow steadily; newbies can follow the same approach.
Only focus on two types of coins.
Sector leaders (like FET in AI or MKR in RWA) attract main funds, dropping less and rising faster.
Low market cap coins with strong control (circulating market cap of 100-500 million USD) can triple once they start.
Three-step position increase method.
First position at 30%: Enter when breaking key levels, for example, buy when ETH stabilizes above $2000.
Second position at 50%: Add to your position after a 20% profit, using profits to seek greater opportunities.
Withdraw profits once you double your investment: pull out the capital and only play with profits, keeping a steady mindset.
Ironclad risk control rules.
Do not exceed 50% of the total position in a single coin, no matter how optimistic you are, do not gamble your entire fortune.
Never hold positions; a 10% stop loss is a life-and-death line. When FTX collapsed last year, I only lost 5% because I strictly adhered to my stop loss.
4. 10 painful lessons from veteran traders.
These words I repeat to my apprentice every day; he followed them for three months and doubled his investment. Now I pass them on to you:
The end of holding positions has only one outcome: going from profit to liquidation. I have seen too many people end up with nothing because they thought 'let’s wait a bit longer.'
Don’t guess tops and bottoms; capturing 60% of the action in the middle is sufficient. Those who catch the fish head and tail are in the minority.
90% of news is a trap; manipulators rely on good news to offload and bad news to accumulate.
Don’t rush to sell when in profit; hold on as long as the trend hasn’t broken. Last year, I almost sold ARB halfway up, but fortunately, I held on.
Don’t rush to act on large candlesticks; they might be K-line drawn by manipulators; wait for confirmation the next day.
Never think the market has ended; as long as you have capital, any drop can recover.
Frequent trading is just working for the exchange; transaction fees can eat away half your profits.
Never go against the trend; rebounds in a downward trend are traps, and pullbacks in an upward trend are also traps.
Don’t be greedy buying junk coins at low prices; some coins that fall to the bottom may never recover.
Execution is 100 times more important than strategy; knowing what to do without the ability to do it is the same as knowing nothing.
Making money in the crypto world is not hard; the difficult part is controlling yourself and sticking to discipline. My method may seem silly, but it excels in stability. As long as you can persist for six months, you will find the numbers in your account quietly increasing. The market is currently in a layout phase; grab the next opportunity, and you can roll from 30,000 to 30 million.
