In 2017, when I entered the crypto world with $5,000, I saw too many stories of people being liquidated due to contract爆仓, assets shrinking, or even losing everything by mortgaging their houses. Meanwhile, my account curve has always maintained a 45° upward trajectory, and over five years, I have never experienced a liquidation, with the maximum drawdown never exceeding 8%.
I don’t rely on insider information, don’t stay up all night watching the charts, and don’t believe in any K-line mysticism. I have turned trading into a tangible "profit-making business." Today, I will directly break down three core logics, which ordinary people can replicate by following the methodology.
**Core Logic 1: Lock-in Profits and Compound Gains, Double Insurance for Principal**
Every trade must have a strict take-profit and stop-loss. As soon as profits reach 10% of the principal, immediately withdraw 50% of the gains to a cold wallet to lock in. The remaining profit is used for "profit rolling" — if the market continues upward, enjoy compound interest; if it reverses, at most, you will give back half of the profits already gained, keeping the principal as solid as a rock.
Over the past five years, I have withdrawn a total of 37 times, with the highest weekly withdrawal reaching $180,000. Even the exchange’s customer service verified the legality of my funds via video. To put it simply, the prerequisite for making big money is stability — no rushing.
**Core Logic 2: Dislocated Positioning, Earning Dividends from Volatile Markets**
Simultaneously monitor three different timeframes: daily for direction, 4-hour to identify reasonable oscillation zones, and 15-minute for precise entry timing. For the same coin, open two opposite positions: the first in a breakout pursuit of longs, with a stop-loss set at the previous low on the daily chart; the second in an overbought zone, placing a short order to anticipate a pullback. Both stop-losses are controlled within 1.5% of the principal, with take-profit targets set at over 5 times.
During the Luna crash in 2022, when the price plunged 90% within 24 hours, while the entire market was爆仓, I relied on this dual long and short profit-taking logic, earning 42% in a single day — truly turning crisis into opportunity.
**Core Logic 3: Small Stop-Loss for Greater Profit Space**
My win rate isn’t very high, roughly around 38%. But that’s not the point, because the profit-to-loss ratio can reach 4.8:1 — that’s the key. The secret is to use a small 1.5% stop-loss to chase trend movements. When the market is favorable, move the take-profit to let profits run; when risk signals appear, exit decisively, never holding through the pain. From a probability and expected value perspective, this trading system is guaranteed to be profitable.
**Three Ironclad Practical Rules, No Exceptions**
1. Divide your funds into 10 parts; never use more than 1 part per trade, and hold no more than 3 positions at once.
2. After two consecutive losses, force yourself to close the trading app and go to the gym. During this period, absolutely do not touch any "revenge trades."
3. Every time your account doubles, withdraw 20% to allocate to low-risk assets like US bonds or gold. This way, even in a bear market, you can sleep peacefully.
Making mistakes in trading is not scary; what’s scary is being爆仓 and never recovering. These three methods may seem simple, but they are especially counter-human nature. It’s precisely these seemingly "boring" rules that have allowed me to grow from an initial $5,000 steadily into a seven-figure asset.
Markets fluctuate daily; the key is to protect your principal and your original intention. When the next cycle arrives, you will also be able to stand firm.

Sounds good, but that's just a classic survivor bias—comparing only one market cycle over five years.

The theory of take profit and stop loss I've heard countless times, but the key still lies in execution. Most people can't do it.

Is a 38% win rate profitable? That data looks a bit unbelievable; it needs to be verified with a quantitative model to be credible.
From historical data, this risk-reward ratio indeed aligns with probabilistic expectations, but market structures have changed, and risk needs to be reassessed.
Five years of a 45° upward trend? I believe it, but that period's market conditions were indeed like that. We can't deny the role of luck.
I agree with this capital management logic, but the key is mindset. Most people can't withstand two consecutive losses before starting revenge trading.
Going to the gym is really effective—more so than meditation or drinking tea. You truly need physical separation from the market.
That wave of LUNA was indeed a big opportunity, but a profit rate of over 40% isn't particularly exaggerated given the market conditions.
Ultimately, discipline is essential. However, the more detailed an article is, the more dangerous it becomes because more people will copy it.
The biggest risk is someone reading this and trying with leverage; a 0.1x stop-loss can easily lead to losses for them.

It's that same story of "I rely on discipline to earn millions a month"—I've heard it too many times.
