#数字货币市场洞察 I went from 5,000U to seven figures over 8 years, but I never got liquidated.
It wasn’t luck—I treat trading as a math game.
**First Iron Rule: Profits not cashed out are as good as not earned**
Every time my profit hits 10%, I immediately do one thing—transfer half the profit to a cold wallet.
Only the other half stays in the account to keep compounding.
This habit has saved me many times. When the market is good, the remaining position keeps making money; when a crash comes, the money in the cold wallet is a lifesaver.
Over 8 years, I’ve cashed out profits more than 30 times. The most extreme was withdrawing 180,000U in one week—caught a big market move, my account skyrocketed, but I didn’t get greedy, I locked in profits in batches as per my rules.
Principal always comes first. Only by protecting my principal can profits have a chance to snowball with compounding.
**Second Insight: Areas with heavy liquidations are often turning points**
Where most people lose money is exactly where I set up positions.
My trading logic uses three timeframes: daily for big trends, 4-hour to define trading range, 15-minute for precise entries.
For the same coin, I’ll set orders in both directions: Order A goes long with the trend, Order B goes short against it. Each order risks no more than 1.5% of total capital.
In a choppy market, I trade both ways to capture volatility; in a trending market, at least one direction is protected.
On the day LUNA crashed, both my long and short hit take profit, and my account surged 40% in a day. Many lost everything, but I made a big gain—not because I predicted it, but because my system helped me avoid one-sided risk.
My win rate is only about 40%, but my risk-reward ratio is 4:1.
Meaning, out of 10 trades, I may only win 4, but each win earns me 4 units, and each loss costs just 1. Over time, my expected value is always positive.
How do I do it?
- Split funds into 10 parts, never have more than 3 active positions at once - If I lose two trades in a row, I stop—never add to losing positions emotionally - After the account doubles, I must extract 20% and allocate it to stable assets
The market won’t feel sorry if you lose money, but it can wipe out all your capital at once.
As long as you’re still at the table, time is on your side.
True pros aren’t those who grab the most opportunities, but those who survive uncertainty. There are always more chances, but you only have one principal.

To be honest, this theory just sounds right, and the key is that you can only say this once you've actually survived.
I'm also trying out the bidirectional order strategy, but sometimes losing on both sides feels extremely frustrating.

Got it, "making money while alive" is better than "making a lot of money after you're gone."

actually... the 4:1 risk-reward thing is textbook position sizing theory, but nobody talks about the slippage costs eating into those spreads on actual execution. solid framework though, not the usual degen nonsense.

To be honest, I agree with this logic; the key is still self-discipline.
Honestly, most people fail because of greed, myself included.
The part about stop-loss is well written; many people just refuse to admit their losses.
Eight years is already hard enough to endure, but sticking with it is the toughest thing.

This logic is basically about making money to survive, not going all-in to make quick money. There's nothing wrong with that.

Damn, this risk control logic is really strict. I need to learn from the rule of stopping after two consecutive losses. I used to always try to make up for losses, but ended up getting in deeper.

To be honest, this system is indeed solid. That's exactly how I do it.

Damn, I laughed when I saw the LUNA part. I also got hit both ways on the same day.

Not blowing up your account in 8 years is truly impressive, but honestly, most people get wiped out in the second year.
---
A cold wallet is the real stop-loss; the money in your account will eventually start to itch.
---
A 4:1 risk-reward ratio is the real key; win rate isn't actually that important.
---
The key is stopping after two consecutive losses. I couldn't do this at first, but it's saved me several times now.

A lot of people skip the step of allocating 20% to stable assets, and as a result, they give everything back when the market turns.

Damn, this methodology sounds solid... But honestly, it took 8 years just to reach seven figures, while I’ve seen plenty of people blow up in just 3 months.
