Since entering the crypto space in 2017, I have seen too many people fall after contract liquidations; some mortgaged their properties to turn things around, only to end up back at square one. My account curve, however, has always maintained a steady 45° upward trajectory, with zero liquidations over five years, and the maximum drawdown of my principal has never exceeded 8%.

I do not rely on insider information, nor do I exploit airdrops, nor do I believe in K-line mysticism. I simply treat the market as a battlefield, focusing on risk control and capital management. The trading methodology I have accumulated over the years revolves around three core principles.

**1. Lock in profits and use compound interest to protect the account**

At the moment of opening a position, stop-loss and take-profit levels must be set beforehand. Once a single trade reaches 10% of the principal in profit, immediately withdraw 50% to a cold wallet to lock in gains, and use the remaining "free profit" to roll over positions. The advantage of this approach is that if the market continues to rise, I can benefit from compound growth; if it reverses, I only give back at most half of the profits, leaving the principal safe. I have been implementing this method for five years, with a total of 37 profit withdrawals, the largest weekly withdrawal reaching 180,000 USDT. Due to frequent large deposits and withdrawals, the exchange even conducted video identity verification to confirm the source of funds.

**2. Cross-positioning to precisely identify market turning points**

For the same coin, I usually open two positions simultaneously. The key lies in multi-timeframe resonance—using the daily chart to determine the main trend, the 4-hour chart to find operational zones, and the 15-minute chart for precise entry. Long positions are used to chase breakouts, with stop-loss set at the previous low on the daily chart; short positions are placed in the overbought zones on the 4-hour chart. Both positions have stop-losses controlled within 1.5% of the principal, but take-profit targets are set at over 5 times.

The most impressive example was during the LUNA collapse in 2022, when the price plunged 90%. Both my long and short positions triggered take-profit precisely. That day, my account gained 42% in a single day. This demonstrates the power of multi-timeframe resonance combined with hedging—regardless of the direction chosen, as long as the position is correct, profits can be harvested.

**3. Treat stop-loss as an entry fee, using small risks to pursue big gains**

My understanding of stop-loss may differ from most traders—it's not a sign of failure, but a ticket to the next big move. Using a small risk of 1.5% to gain the opportunity to control the market has a positive mathematical expectation. When the market cooperates, I proactively move the take-profit to let profits run; if not, I cut losses decisively. Over time, my win rate is only 38%, but because my risk-reward ratio is 4.8:1, the mathematical expectation remains positive at around 1.9%.

This logic may seem counterintuitive, but it works effectively in practice—most of the time I am losing or breaking even, but the profitable trades earn enough to keep the account curve steadily upward.

**Self-discipline at the fundamental level**

Divide capital into 10 parts, with at most 1 part used per trade, and no more than 3 open positions at once. This way, even in extreme market conditions, the account has enough buffer. After two consecutive losses, I take a break to go to the gym, never chasing revenge trades. When the account doubles, I allocate 20% to hedge with US bonds or gold.

The biggest danger in the market is not a wrong judgment, but the inability to recover after a liquidation. Mastering these three levels of risk management allows you to make the exchange work for you continuously, rather than being cut off by it.
