#大户持仓变化 Secrets of the exchange acting as an ATM, sharing a reliable trading approach

$ETH $BTC Often see people getting liquidated, platforms shutting down, or even mortgaging properties to cover losses. My approach is a bit different—sticking to one system for 5 years, never losing more than 10% of the account, and the principal is actually growing steadily. Honestly, this isn't luck of a chosen one—it's about mastering a few key logics.

**Changing your mindset is the first step**

When I entered the scene in 2017, I had only 5000U. People around me were either chasing gains and getting caught in dumps or stubbornly holding contracts. I later realized one thing: instead of guessing market direction, it's better to build a mechanism that profits even in sideways markets. Transform yourself from a gambler into a "market maker." 80% of the market time is range-bound, which is the real trading opportunity. After 5 years, I’ve made 37 profitable withdrawals, with the highest weekly withdrawal reaching 180,000U. The exchange customer service even verified via video whether I was laundering money—back then, they had never seen such frequent and stable withdrawal records.

**The first key move: armor your profits**

The moment you open a position, immediately place take-profit and stop-loss orders—don’t wait, don’t gamble. When profits reach 10% of your principal, withdraw 50% to a cold wallet. The remaining profits are used to continue rolling over positions. What's the benefit? If the market keeps rising, I enjoy compound interest. If it suddenly reverses, I only give back half of the profit, and the principal remains untouched—mental resilience is solid.

**The second key move: use three cycles for precise positioning**

Don’t just look at one chart. I analyze daily, 4-hour, and 15-minute cycles simultaneously. The daily chart sets the big direction, the 4-hour identifies the trading range, and the 15-minute acts as a trigger for precise entries.

For the same coin, I open two orders: A order is a long when it breaks above support on the daily chart, with a stop-loss below the recent low; B order is a short in the overbought zone on the 4-hour chart using limit orders. Both stop-losses are ≤1.5% of the principal, and take-profit is set at over 5 times.

What does this mean? Most of the time, the market is switching between high and low. While others get liquidated at the peaks, I’m earning on both sides. During the 2022 LUNA wave, with a 90% drop in 24 hours, I activated both long and short take-profits, and my account grew by 42% in a single day—that’s the power of the system.

**The third key move: treat stop-losses as tickets**

Many people fear stop-losses, thinking they waste money. My mindset is the opposite: a 1.5% small stop-loss is like a “ticket” to enter a trending market. Losing a dollar gets you a chance to be the market maker—this trade is very cost-effective.

When the market is good, move your take-profit to let profits run. When the market is bad, exit quickly. I’ve analyzed 5 years of trading data—my win rate is only 38%, less than 4 out of 10. But that’s not a problem because my profit-to-loss ratio is 4.8:1. Each win earns more, each loss is small. The mathematical expectation is +1.9%. In other words, for every dollar risked, I expect to earn $1.9 on average. Just catching two real trend moves a year can beat bank savings.

**Three strict rules at the execution level**

Divide your capital into 10 parts, use at most 1 part per trade, and never hold more than 3 positions simultaneously. After two consecutive losses, close the software and go to the gym. Absolutely prohibit revenge trading—that's the start of losing control. When your account doubles, withdraw 20% to buy US bonds or gold. In a bear market, this money keeps your mind at ease.

**Final words**

The method itself is quite simple—yet counterintuitive. Most people lose because of mindset and discipline. Remember this: the market isn’t afraid of you being wrong; it’s afraid you can’t recover after a liquidation. Master these three logics, and you’re not gambling on an exchange—you’re truly doing business. $ETH $BTC
