Over the years in the crypto world, I've stepped into quite a few pits. I've been liquidated on contracts, chased false positive signals, and even suffered heavy losses from whale washouts. It wasn't until a certain moment that I realized one thing: the more complex your trading logic, the higher the chance you'll get harvested.

My capital curve might say something. I grew from 300,000 U to 1.2 million U in three years. But doubling from 1.2 million U to 6 million U only took one year. Later, from 6 million U to 10 million U, it took just five months. The speed kept increasing, but the methods became simpler—almost "dumber."

I didn't rely on insider information or innate talent. I simply simplified my trading logic to the extreme and strictly adhered to discipline. It sounds easy, but in practice, it's counterintuitive.

**The speed of making money is fundamentally inversely proportional to the frequency of operations.** I tried high-frequency trading—what was the result? Transaction fees skyrocketed, and error rates soared. Later, I changed my approach: focus on markets I truly understand, and wait patiently the rest of the time.

My method can be broken down into three parts:

**First, obsess over the N-shaped pattern.** It’s not a complicated combo strategy. Just wait for a pulse-like surge in the market, followed by shrinking volume and a pullback. Once there's an effective breakout above the previous high with increased volume, I enter decisively. If the price falls below my entry point? I cut losses immediately. I never play with leverage, averaging down, or stubbornly holding through dips.

**Second, two ironclad rules are welded in.** Keep single-trade stop-loss at 2% of the account, and take profit decisively at 10%. Don’t underestimate this risk-reward ratio—even with only a 35% win rate, such a setup can keep you profitable. I abandoned all fancy indicator combinations and relied solely on these two rules. It’s simpler, but more effective.

**Third, keep a close eye on the 20-day moving average as a trend anchor.** Don’t over-rely on colorful indicators to avoid subjective misjudgments. Spend five minutes each day scanning the 4-hour chart for signals. If there’s a signal, place an order; if not, exit directly. It’s so simple it might seem boring, but that’s exactly the advantage.

**And finally, a crucial point: timely withdrawal to lock in profits.** When my funds reached 1.2 million U, I withdrew my initial capital. At 6 million U, I transferred half into stable investments. Only the part I can afford to lose remains in the market. This way, I can participate in the game without risking being knocked back to zero by a single wave.

There are no shortages of smart people in crypto. The ones who truly win in the end are those who stick to discipline and keep their methods simple to the extreme. Mastering the rhythm of markets you can control is far more valuable than chasing a "perfect strategy" that tries to do everything. This is the underlying logic of a counterattack.
