5 years without liquidation: I relied on 3 tricks to turn the exchange into a "cash machine"

In 2017, I entered with 5000U and saw too many people get liquidated trading contracts to the point of mortgaging their homes,

but I managed to keep my account curve at a constant 45° upward with a set of counter-intuitive methods. My principal drawdown never exceeded 8%. I don't rely on insider information or obsess over K-line theories,

I simply treat the market as a probability game, acting as a "casino owner" that guarantees profit. In 5 years, I grew from 5000U to seven figures, with the core being 3 tricks.

The first trick is to lock in profits with compound interest, giving profits a "bulletproof vest".

As soon as I open a position, I set stop-loss and take-profit orders. Once the profit reaches 10% of the principal, I immediately withdraw 50% to a cold wallet, while using the remaining "free profits" to roll over. If the market continues to rise, I enjoy compound interest; if it reverses, I only give back half of the profits, keeping my principal as solid as a rock. In 5 years, I've withdrawn profits 37 times, with a single-week maximum withdrawal of 180,000 U, and the exchange's customer service even verified via video whether I was laundering money.

The second trick is to build positions with misalignment, focusing on liquidation points of retail investors.

Simultaneously observe the daily, 4-hour, and 15-minute charts:

The daily chart sets the direction, the 4-hour chart finds the range, and the 15-minute chart allows for precise entry. Open two positions in the same cryptocurrency:

Position A pursues a breakout to go long, with the stop-loss set just below the daily chart's recent low;

Position B sets a limit order to short, lying in wait in the 4-hour overbought zone.

Both positions have stop-losses not exceeding 1.5% of the principal, with take-profits set above 5 times.

The market is in a range 80% of the time, while others get liquidated, I profit from both sides. Last year, during the LUNA crash, the market plummeted 90% in 24 hours, yet I took profits on both long and short positions, with my account increasing by 42% in a single day.

The third trick is to turn stop-losses into huge profits, taking small risks for big opportunities.

I treat stop-losses as "entry tickets", using a small loss of 1.5% to gain the opportunity to take a position.

When the market is good, I move the take-profit to let profits run; when the market is bad, I exit in time. My win rate is only 38%, but my profit-to-loss ratio is 4.8:1, with a positive mathematical expectation of 1.9%. For every unit of risk, I make 1.9 units.

In practice, remember these 3 details:

Divide funds into 10 parts, use at most 1 part for a single position, and hold no more than 3 parts; if I suffer 2 consecutive losses, I shut down and work out, avoiding revenge trades; every time my account doubles, I withdraw 20% to buy US Treasuries or gold, ensuring peace of mind even in a bear market.

The market doesn't fear your mistakes, it fears that you won't recover after a liquidation.

These three tricks may seem simple, but they can help you avoid human weaknesses. Follow them, and let the exchange work for you next week. @juice13
