#数字资产市场观察 Back in 2015, when I entered the market, my principal was only 5000U. Many people around me were getting liquidated and had to mortgage their properties. However, my account steadily rose, with the maximum drawdown controlled within 8%. Now I've saved up to seven figures. Over the past few years, I haven't relied on insider information, nor have I been watching candlesticks to guess the rise and fall, just three unwavering principles.
First, let's talk about capital management. Set the take-profit and stop-loss levels in advance for each trade. As soon as the profit exceeds 10%, immediately withdraw 50% to the cold wallet to lock in the profits. Rely on this "already earned money" to continue rolling. Over the course of 5 years, I withdrew profits 37 times, and I remember the most exaggerated week where I withdrew 180,000 U directly.
Looking at the position building logic again. Use the daily chart to determine the overall direction, and look for entry points on the 15-minute level. When laying out both long and short positions, strictly control the single-side stop loss within 1.5%, and set the take profit target to more than 5 times. During the LUNA crash, this strategy achieved a daily return of 42%.
The key is the risk-reward ratio. Taking a 1.5% risk to gain 4.8 times the return, even with a win rate of only 38%, will still yield a positive return in the long run — risking 1 dollar can steadily earn back 1.9 dollars.
In practice, I am used to dividing the principal into 10 parts, using only 1 part each time. If I incur losses in 2 consecutive trades, I shut down to stay calm, and after doubling the account, I withdraw 20% to stabilize my mindset. The cryptocurrency market has fluctuated greatly in recent years, and being able to survive relies entirely on risk control.

You have a point, risk control is the only reason to stay alive. I used to think I could turn my luck around, but in the end, I went all in and recouped my investment.

Wow, this risk control concept is indeed amazing, it's not just talk. I was repeatedly educated before because I didn't stick to that 1.5% stop loss line.

Wow, starting with 5000U to reach seven figures? This is true stability, unlike those guys who get rich overnight and go bankrupt the next night.

Uh... 5000U to seven figures, what are the odds of that being in the thousandths? I look at on-chain data, most account fund flows are hard to hide, how many whales would have to withdraw simultaneously to not cause dumping with 180,000U withdrawn 37 times that week... it's a bit absurd.

To be honest, I agree with this logic, but execution is the real killer. Most people forget after reading, and when the next market comes, they start to go all in again.

Starting with 5000U to reach seven figures, this risk control is indeed strict. But to be honest, a 38% win rate sounds quite painful.
