Honestly, I don’t have much talent. When I started, I only had over 300,000 yuan in capital, no connections, no insider information, and looking at candlestick charts was almost like being blind. After falling into many pits, I finally understood a principle: 99% of the complex technical indicators and various news in the crypto world are just noise. The people who really make money are often those who simplify the complex into the simplest.

The breakthrough I finally found is to stick to the "N-shaped" pattern—sounds simple, right? That’s exactly what it is.

**What is an "N" pattern?**

Basically, it has three stages. The first is a volume breakout above the previous high, signaling the start of a major upward wave; the middle is a pullback to a support level (like the 20-day moving average), during which the main force is shaking out weak hands; the third is another volume breakout above the previous high, sealing the trend. The whole shape looks like a crooked N.

My daily operation style is very laid-back—I spend 5 minutes each day checking the 4-hour candlestick chart to see if a "true N" has formed. If it hasn’t appeared, I turn off the device; if it has, I place an order to enter. Once in, I don’t tinker anymore.

**Risk-reward ratio is the key**

Many people talk about increasing win rate every day, but I think differently. Instead of chasing more wins, it’s better to win big when you do win. My data shows: even with a win rate of only 35%, if each winning trade earns 5 times more than the losing trades, I can still achieve long-term positive returns.

The stop-loss standard is to cut losses when the price falls below the starting point of the N pattern or a key support level, no matter how reluctant I am. The loss per trade is strictly controlled within 2% of the total account funds. Take profits in stages: when it rises 10%, I sell half; when it rises 20%, I sell all or keep a small part to continue riding the trend.

Once, I didn’t stick to discipline and stubbornly held on without stop-loss, ending up losing 40%. It took me three months to break even. Since then, setting stop-loss orders has become a habit.

**Position control**

When the "true N" signal appears (price breaks above the previous high with volume confirmation), I allocate 30% of my position; if the signal is ambiguous (for example, a new high but volume doesn’t follow), I only try 10%. In short, I decide how much to invest based on the strength of the signal.

A very important detail: as soon as I make a profit, I withdraw the principal first. This greatly relaxes my mindset. The remaining profits are used to ride the trend, which helps me catch bigger market moves.

**The core is still mindset**

This method, frankly, isn’t magical; it’s just strict discipline plus simple rules. But not many people stick to it. I’m not claiming to be very smart; rather, because I admit my mediocrity, I manage to do things thoroughly.
