Holding 10,000 yuan in your hand and hoping to make a comeback in the crypto market? Don’t get confused by all those flashy technical analyses.

At its core, the market is just a game of patterns. I call it “pattern gaming”—the repeated N-shaped structures on charts hide two paths to making money.

**Path One: Aggressive Follow-Through**
Enter as soon as you spot the early pattern forming. If you’re right, hold on and let your profits run; if you’re wrong, admit it and exit immediately. Essentially, you’re using a small stop-loss in exchange for a big trend. The win rate may only be 40%, but your risk-reward can be three times or more.

**Path Two: Conservative Confirmation**
Wait until the pattern is fully formed and the direction is locked in before making a move. At this point, entering the market is like opening a door rather than breaking it down—the path of least resistance is often where the money piles up. While you won’t catch the earliest profits, the certainty is much higher.

Most people fiddle endlessly with indicator parameters, without understanding what’s really at work behind these methods—**cognitive gaps** are the real moat. The first approach tests your belief in trend continuation, while the second relies on your grasp of market inertia.

My own account trajectory is pretty ordinary: started with 10,000 yuan, took two years to reach a million; then broke ten million in just twelve months. No magic indicators—just stuck with these two simple methods: enter when you should, exit when you must, and gut out that agonizing holding period with discipline.

The further I go, the more I realize this: everything that truly works in trading could fit on a single A4 sheet of paper. Those so-called “secrets” running hundreds of pages mostly just complicate simple issues. Stick to the most basic logic, and you’ll go further, more steadily.
