People who make money in exchanges usually do it this way.

I spent 8 years using a proven system to grow my account from 5,000 USD to seven figures, all without ever getting liquidated. It’s not luck, and you don’t need to watch the market every day. The core principle is: control risk and let probability work for you.

**First: Separate and Lock in Profits**

Before entering each trade, you must know your take-profit and stop-loss levels.

When profits reach 10%, I do one thing—divide the earned money into two parts: half transfered to a cold wallet and locked, the other half continues to stay in the account. The benefit of this approach is that during good market conditions, profits keep growing; when the trend reverses, the locked portion helps you withstand volatility.

Over 8 years, I’ve made more than 30 profit withdrawals, with the craziest week pulling out 180,000 USD. The principal always comes first—only when the principal is alive can profits generate compound growth.

**Second: Long and Short Simultaneous Deployment**

Most liquidation points happen right at the market reversal—this is no coincidence.

I use three timeframes to lock in trading opportunities: daily for the big trend, 4-hour for trading ranges, and 15-minute for precise entry points. For the same coin, I place two orders simultaneously—Order A follows the trend to go long, Order B goes short in the opposite direction. Both risks are strictly controlled within 1.5% of total capital.

This way, in choppy markets, I can profit from volatility; in trending markets, I stick to the correct direction. On the day LUNA collapsed in 2022, my dual-position setup triggered take-profit at the same time, and my account gained 40% that day.

**Third: Understand the True Meaning of Stop-Loss**

Stop-loss is not failure; it’s a reasonable cost paid to make money.

In my trading system, the win rate is only 40%—yes, 3 out of 4 trades lose—but the risk-reward ratio is 4:1, which means the long-term expected value remains positive. When the market moves as expected, I gradually lock in profits; if the trend diverges from my judgment, I cut losses decisively and don’t entangle myself.

**Key operational disciplines:**

Divide your account into 10 parts, and at most 3 parts are active in the market at the same time.

After two consecutive losses, stop immediately—absolutely no revenge trading.

After doubling your account, withdraw 20% to allocate to stable assets.

The market doesn’t fear you losing money; what it fears is you blowing up your account all at once. As long as you’re still at the table, time will eventually be on your side.
