In 2017, I entered the market with 5000U, watching those around me face contract liquidations and mortgage their houses, while my account curve rose steadily at a 45° angle, with a maximum drawdown of my principal never exceeding 8%. No insider information, no airdrop farming, no belief in K-line mysticism.
Today, I will share three core methods with you. Follow these steps, and you too can have the exchange work for you.
First, lock in profits with compound interest.
As soon as you open a position, set your take profit and stop loss. When profits reach 10% of your principal, immediately withdraw 50% to a cold wallet; this is your "safe profit."
Use the remaining "free money" to continue rolling.
If the market continues to rise, you enjoy compound interest;
If the market reverses, you will at most give back half of your profits, with your principal intact.
In 8 years, I have made 37 withdrawals, with a maximum of 180,000U withdrawn in a single week. I was even called by the exchange’s customer service to verify if it was money laundering.
Second, build positions with misalignment, treating the liquidation points of retail investors as "passwords."
Monitor three timeframes simultaneously: daily, 4-hour, and 15-minute:
The daily chart sets the direction, the 4-hour chart looks for ranges, and the 15-minute chart provides precise entry points.
For the same cryptocurrency, you can open two positions:
Position A chases the breakout, with the stop loss set at the previous low on the daily chart;
Position B places a limit order to short, lurking in the overbought area on the 4-hour chart.
Both positions have stop losses not exceeding 1.5% of the principal, with take profits set at over 5 times.
The market is in consolidation 80% of the time; while others are liquidated, I profit from both sides.
Last year, when LUNA crashed, there was a 90% spike within 24 hours; I took profits on both long and short positions, with my account growing by 42% in a single day.
Third, stop losses mean high profits; small wounds can lead to big opportunities.
I treat stop losses as tickets, using a small risk of 1.5% to buy a chance to "take the lead."
If the market is good, I move my stop profit to let profits run; if the market is poor, I decisively exit.
Long-term statistics show my win rate is only 38%, but the profit/loss ratio is 4.8:1, with a positive mathematical expectation of 1.9%.
For every dollar I risk, I earn 1.9. By capturing two waves of trends in a year, my returns exceed those of bank wealth management.
Finally, remember three iron rules:
Divide your capital into 10 parts, use at most 1 part for a single trade, and hold no more than 3 parts.
If you lose on two consecutive trades, shut down and hit the gym; never place a "revenge trade."
For every time your account doubles, withdraw 20% to buy U.S. bonds or gold, ensuring a peaceful sleep even in a bear market.
The methods are simple, but counterintuitive. The market isn't afraid of your mistakes; it’s afraid of you not being able to recover after a liquidation. Master these three tricks and start next week, letting the exchange work for you.
