Back in 2018, I jumped into the crypto market with 30,000 yuan.

I didn’t know what “news events” were, couldn’t keep up with the trending topics, and even read candlestick charts the wrong way. I just focused on one pattern—the N-shaped setup.

Two years later, my account balance was 1.2 million. Another year passed, and the number jumped to 6 million. The craziest stretch was the next five months, where it broke the 10 million mark.

Looking back now, I realize: all those flashy technical indicators just make people lose their way. The real money is often made with the simplest strategies. Today, I’ll break down this method.

**About the N-Shaped Pattern**

The N-shape has just three moves: price rallies first (the first vertical line), pulls back to touch the 20-day moving average, and then breaks through its previous high.

As soon as the pattern is confirmed, I enter. If it breaks down, I stop out immediately, keeping risk under 2%. Target profit is set at 10%. Even with a win rate a bit above 30%, the account stays profitable over time.

On June 3 last year, $MMT showed a textbook N-pattern on the four-hour chart. The previous high was 0.82, it pulled back to 0.76, and I went long at the 0.83 breakout. The next day, it hit 0.914 and triggered my take-profit—bagging a 10% return in 18 hours.

**Letting the Account Run Itself**

I deleted all those messy indicators from my trading software—now there’s just a single 20-day moving average on the screen.

Every morning at 9:50, I glance at the market: No N-pattern? Close the software and go about my day. See the pattern? Set stop-loss and take-profit, that’s it.

The rest of the time, I drink coffee, walk my dog, and let the account grow on its own.

On December 4, $PARTI flashed an N-pattern again. I placed my order and went grocery shopping. When I got back, the trade had already hit take-profit—I netted 2,400 USDT on that one, with hardly any effort.

**Protecting Principal is Most Important**

When my account hit 1.2 million, I withdrew my original 30,000 yuan. That meant all my later trades were just using the market’s money.

When it reached 6 million, I pulled out another 3 million to buy index funds. The rest of the capital was just rolling risk-free.

Even if the market suddenly crashes, it won’t affect my normal life. That’s my real confidence for staying in the market long term.

**Three Iron Rules**

① Don’t chase rallies. Only act after the N-pattern is fully formed.

② Don’t hold on to losers. If it breaks down, exit immediately—no discussion.

③ Don’t be greedy. When you make money, withdraw some first—profits only count once they're in your pocket.

If you practice the simplest strategy until you master it, the market becomes your cash machine.

No need to overcomplicate things. Just stick to the N-pattern and execute well. I hope you can draw your own “N”-shaped wealth curve.

The ones who survive and profit in the market are always those who dare to take action first.
