I've seen too many people staying up late in the crypto market staring at the screen, only to be wiped out by leverage? I entered the market in 2020 with 5000U, never guessed the market direction even once, and often checked my account only every few days. The maximum drawdown of my principal did not exceed 8%, and these three years of stable withdrawals have been enough to buy a new energy vehicle. Don't think it's luck; this 'guaranteed profit system' is the key.
First move: Profit-taking method - turn 'floating profits' into 'real money'
Before I open any trade, I always lay down a 'safety cushion': setting take-profit and stop-loss orders in advance, never rushing in a fluster. As long as the profit from a single trade reaches 10% of the principal, I immediately withdraw half and put it into a cold wallet - this portion of money is equivalent to 'salary given by the market', regardless of how crazy the subsequent market becomes, it is completely insulated from risk.
What about the remaining 50% profit? That's 'cost-free bullets', I will use it to roll over and increase positions, but even if I incur losses, I won't be heartbroken, after all, the capital has already been pocketed. Last year, in the most extreme case, a mainstream asset fluctuated 20% within a week, I withdrew 150,000 USDT, and the platform's customer service specifically called to confirm my identity. This sense of 'security' is 10 times more satisfying than staring at the screen.
Second tip: Three-cycle dislocation technique—can 'profit from both sides' even in a volatile market.
Many people lose because they look at the market with a 'single-minded' perspective. I have always used a three-cycle interaction: 'daily sets the direction, 4-hour finds the range, and 15-minute pinpoints the entry'. For mainstream assets, I always open two complementary orders:
A order (trend order): After confirming an upward trend on the daily chart, wait for a 15-minute retracement to a key support level to go long, with stop-loss set directly at the previous daily low, ensuring manageable risk;
B order (reversal order): When an overbought signal appears on the 4-hour chart, lightly short, with stop-loss above the recent high, and take profit at the lower range.
The risk of both trades is controlled within 1.5% of the single capital, but the profit space is at least 5 times. During the Q3 volatility last year, when friends around me were shouting 'both long and short explosions', I relied on this strategy to achieve a weekly profit of 12%—when the market is chaotic, 'dislocation' is the biggest opportunity.
Third tip: Stop-loss = survival right—earning a 5-fold win-loss ratio with a 38% win rate.
Don't be fooled by 'high win rates'! Here's a heart-wrenching fact: my trading win rate is only 38%, but the long-term win-loss ratio can reach 4-5:1. Let's do a simple calculation: suppose each risk is 1 yuan, a profit in 38 trades can earn 38×4.5=171 yuan, and a loss in 62 trades loses 62 yuan. Over the long term, for each 1 yuan risk taken, I can earn 1.9 yuan—this is the core of 'making money while alive'.
When the market is favorable, I never rush to take profits, allowing profits to 'fly a bit longer'; but as soon as the stop-loss line is touched, no matter how reluctant I feel, I immediately cut my position—one of the most foolish things in the market is to use 'holding positions' to bet on market reversals. I've seen too many people hold from 'small losses' to 'liquidation', ultimately losing all their capital for recovery.
The last three 'life-saving iron rules', forgetting them is equivalent to not seeing them.
Divide the capital into 10 parts, using only 1 part for each trade; even if you're very certain, never go all in—going all in = giving money to the market;
Stop immediately after two consecutive losses, go for a run or read to clear your mind; the market won't close, don't fight against your emotions;
Every time the account doubles, withdraw 20% to buy stable assets (like precious metals or low-volatility investments), providing a 'double insurance' for the capital.
The crypto market has never been a 'gamble on size' casino, but a 'battle of systems'. You don't need to guess the market direction correctly every time; as long as you can control risks and preserve your capital, time will naturally yield you excess returns.
