From 5000 to 100 million: I relied on the "Three-Line System" to break into the crypto world

The moment I opened my account balance, seven zeros flashed a bit dazzlingly—100980859.5U. Staring at the number for half an hour, I closed the trading software and messaged my assistant: "Close all contracts, transfer the spot to the cold wallet."

Eight years in the crypto world, from the 5000 principal I gathered in 2017 to enough for three generations to relax today, it wasn't luck that got me here, but a profit model referred to by my students as the "fool's system." Now, it should be sealed along with my retirement.

Core of the system: Three lines determine the universe

Only look at three lines: the 50-day line determines the short-term trend, the 200-day line distinguishes between bull and bear markets, and the volume line judges the authenticity of funds. When BTC broke through 5000 USD in 2017, the 50-day line golden crossed the 200-day line, and the trading volume tripled. I mortgaged my marital home for 2 million and went all in, the first time my account exceeded ten million.

Three iron rules: Protect the principal

① No more than 15% in a single coin. In 2018, when Litecoin surged, I only invested 12%, and later when it dropped 80%, it didn't hurt my finances.

② Stop-loss must be executed. Cut losses if a mainstream coin breaks 50-day line by 8%, run if an altcoin breaks by 5%. Before the LUNA crash in 2022, the system saved me with only a 70,000 U loss, while others around me were in debt of tens of millions.

③ No more than 3 trades per month. Frequent operations only consume the principal and cause one to miss major market trends. I capitalized on the March 12, 2020 crash and the April 2021 correction by adhering to this iron rule.

The system's last reminder: ETH's 50-day line touched the 200-day line three times without breaking, and the trading volume shrank to a low—golden buying point. I entered with 8% of my capital, took a 15% profit in three days, and crossed over five hundred million in my account.

Flipping to the trading log of 2018, the front page reads, "Retire after earning one hundred million." Back then, I was still in a rental apartment eating instant noodles, never imagining I could reach this day.

Complex systems earn money from emotions, simple systems earn money from time. The money in the crypto world is never-ending, but life should have scenery worth seeing beyond candlestick charts.

So, I put away this system and told myself: no need to say goodbye.
