Last night I had dinner with an influential figure who brought me into the industry in 2019. His account holds a nine-digit asset quietly resting on his phone, calm and unbothered. I clearly remember that seven years ago, his starting capital was just a mere 5000U.

In these seven years, I have witnessed how many people around me faced contract liquidation and exited with nothing, while his account curve seemed to be enchanted—his maximum drawdown has never exceeded 8%, yet his profits have continued to rise. #加密市场

There is no mysticism, no reliance on insider information. He told me that he stubbornly plays the role of a "probability gambler" in a chaotic market, rather than being a "slave to emotions." Today, with his consent, I will break down this set of core principles that have deeply influenced me.

Three keys, I’ll show them to you today—

1. Lock in compound interest: Let profits wear a "bulletproof vest"

As soon as you open a position, set your take profit and stop loss. Once profits reach 10% of the principal, immediately withdraw 50% to a cold wallet, rolling the remaining half.

Remember, what you roll is not the principal, but the "money that came easily." If the market continues to soar, you enjoy compound interest; if the market suddenly reverses, you may only give back half of your profits, with the principal untouched.

In five years, I have withdrawn profits 37 times, with my largest single week withdrawal being 180,000U. The exchange's customer service thought I was laundering money and video-called me for verification. #币安人生

2. Mismatched positioning: Turning the liquidations of retail traders into my "ATM password"

Keep an eye on three timeframes at once: daily for direction, 4 hours for range, and 15 minutes for sniping.

For the same cryptocurrency, I open two positions:

A position—breakout buy, stop loss set at the recent daily low;

B position—limit sell order, ambushing in the 4-hour overbought zone.

Both positions have stop losses ≤ 1.5% of the principal, with take profits set at over five times. The market spends 80% of the time in consolidation; with bidirectional spikes, while others face liquidation, I profit from both sides.

3. Stop loss equals high profits: Small wounds for big bull stocks

"Delay your stop loss by one second, and profits are halved." I treat stop losses as tickets, a small 1.5% loss for a chance to control the market. If the market is strong, move the take profit to let profits run; if the market flips, it's time to exit quickly.

Take these three strategies to heart, and starting next week, you can also make the exchange work for you. $STO
