I have been trading for 5 years, witnessing too many experts double their accounts in a single market wave, only to be wiped out in the next. Frankly, the market's easiest victim isn't those without a sense of direction, but those who can't withstand the pullbacks.

My own approach is quite unconventional—from starting with 3000 USDT to now having an eight-figure account, I’ve never experienced a margin call along the way. I don’t rely on insider information or worship a certain divine indicator; I treat trading as a game of probabilities.

**First Tip: Lock-in Profits and Compound**

Survival is the foundation for scaling up—that’s the core logic. Every trade I place has both a stop-loss and take-profit set simultaneously, not just as a placeholder, but to let the system execute them for me. Once profits reach 10%, I immediately take out half, leaving the rest to continue riding as a "gift from the market." Over five years, I’ve done this more than 30 times, each time locking in real money. Sounds conservative? Actually, it’s steady and ruthless—compound growth fears a single big loss that takes you back to square one.

**Second Key: Dislocated Positioning**

I anchor my thinking on the "liquidation point" and work backwards. The daily chart determines whether I participate; the 4-hour chart shows the overall trend; only the 15-minute chart is where I really pull the trigger. This multi-timeframe coordination ensures each stop-loss never exceeds 1.5%, with a target of at least 5x returns. During the 2022 LUNA saga, while others were screaming, I used this logic to profit from both sides, with my account increasing by 40% in a single day—not because I have a crystal ball, but because my system is naturally sensitive to sharp volatility.

**Third Tip: I call it "Stop-loss is Instant Profit"**

This might seem counterintuitive. My win rate is actually only 38%, but my risk-reward ratio is 4.8:1, meaning risking 1 dollar can earn 1.9 dollars. If the market doesn’t feel right, I immediately exit—stop-loss becomes like a ticket to re-enter the game—staying alive always keeps the door open for opportunity.

In practice, there are three iron rules I never break: divide your capital into 10 parts, use at most 1 part per trade, and never hold more than 3 positions at once. After two consecutive losses, I stop for the day—no chasing losses. Also, I always allocate 20% of my account equity to US bonds or gold whenever I double my account, so even in a bear market, I can sleep peacefully.

Remember this: the market isn’t afraid of your mistakes; it’s afraid that after a margin call, you won’t be able to get back up. Master these principles, and the exchange becomes your worker.
