Don't be a gambler; be a rule maker. This is not just a slogan but a complete trading system.
Five years to grow from $3,000 to eight figures, the key is not luck but treating trading as a probability game rather than a gamble on price movements. The account has never been liquidated; the underlying logic is straightforward: the fate of each trade is decided before entering the position.
**Withdrawal is the first and foremost rule.** When floating profits reach 10% of the principal, immediately withdraw half. The remaining is what the market has given you as your chips. The biggest mistake most people make is leaving profits in the account, only to give it all back in a big dip. Profit by rolling it over; loss without damaging your core capital. The benefit of this approach is that you can gradually cash out in each market cycle instead of betting on a perfect top.
**Next is using structure to suppress emotions.** I don’t rely on predictions of rise or fall but look for high-probability setups: determine direction on the daily chart, analyze patterns on the 4-hour, and enter precisely on the 15-minute. Use multiple logical setups for the same coin, controlling risk per trade within 1.5% of total funds, maintaining an overall profit-loss ratio of over 5:1. While others sway in the oscillation, you wait for confirmed opportunities to strike.
**Finally, treat stop-loss as the cost of staying at the table.** A 40% win rate sounds low, but a 5:1 profit-loss ratio is enough to reverse the entire equation. Small stop-losses are not failures but your ticket to continue surviving. Once liquidated, you are completely out.
The core rules are these three: divide your principal into ten parts and never gamble recklessly; stop immediately after two consecutive losses to reflect; double your account and immediately take profits to switch into long-term assets. The cruelest truth of the market is—only those who can’t lose will make big money.

That's right, living is more important than anything else.
Listen, I was once that kind of fool who would gamble on everything, and as a result, I got wiped out in one go. Now I prefer to withdraw every time I make a profit, feeling very comfortable, and I've never been scared since.

That's right, let's do it this way. We are already following this logic.

Sounds good, but how many people can actually stick to withdrawing half? Most people see their accounts still rising and can't resist the urge to keep going.

Talking about strategies on paper is easy; only after surviving a few black swan events do you realize what risk control really means.

Sounds good, but I still think that 99% of people simply can't stick to this discipline, including myself, who sometimes breaks the rules.

Well said, but execution is difficult. Most people forget after reading and go all in again when the next market cycle comes.
