In the crypto trading world, complexity is often the breeding ground for losses. Many investors fall into indicator traps, staying up late every night analyzing various technical data, only to find their accounts resembling leaky buckets. Conversely, the truly profitable traders take the opposite approach—doing less, simplifying their strategies.

An interesting case worth noting: a trader started with 3,000 USD, and by following simple rules, reached 20,000 USD in 2 days, broke 100,000 USD in 10 days, and hit 600,000 USD in 12 days. The secret to this growth curve isn't complex hedging or high leverage, but strict discipline.

His rules are almost devoid of technical complexity: identify N-shaped trends → volume expansion after a pullback with reduced volume → decisive entry → stop-loss immediately upon breaking support → no chasing highs or adding positions. It's that simple. The specific numbers are 2% stop-loss, 10% take-profit. With a 35% win rate, long-term consistent profits are achievable. Most people get stuck at the "breaking rules" point—always wanting to look at more indicators, waiting for the perfect signal.

In terms of operation, he is very disciplined: only look at the 5-day moving average daily, spend 5 minutes scanning charts, place orders when signals appear, shut down when there are none. This avoids overtrading and keeps the mind clear. As for capital management, once a certain amount is earned, withdraw the principal in batches to lock in profits—e.g., withdraw the initial capital of 100,000, then take half of the profits and lock it in.

Advancing in the crypto space is really about learning to do less. Fewer indicators, more execution; fewer worries about watching the market, more systematic thinking.
