#密码资产动态追踪 Why do you always get caught in the market? An eight-year blood and tears ledger has taught me a set of "anti-human" trading logic.



At the age of thirty-one, my account was wiped out. I was left with only 14,000 yuan, which I converted entirely into USDT and invested. At that time, no one believed I could turn things around, including myself. But I didn't want to gamble; I wanted to find the rules of the game.

**First: Install a safety valve for profits**

The moment I open a position, both stop-loss and take-profit orders must be placed simultaneously. This is not optional; it is a mandatory discipline. As soon as a single order reaches a profit of 10% of the principal, I withdraw 40% of the profit directly to a cold wallet. Over eight years, I have done this 51 times, with the largest single withdrawal reaching 260,000 USDT.

A risk control team from an exchange once called me to ask if my account was abnormal. I showed them my complete trading records—letting profits settle is the only weapon against human greed.

**Second: Abandon predictions, act as a "toll station" in oscillations**

80% of the market time is spent in disorderly fluctuations. Instead of betting on the direction of rise or fall, it’s better to set up both breakout long orders and retracement short orders on the same asset, with both stop-losses controlled within 1.5% of the principal. I don’t care about the direction; I only pick up liquidity on the ruins of both forced liquidations.

During the Luna collapse in 2022, the entire market was bloodied. My bidirectional orders automatically triggered take-profit within 24 hours—monthly net growth of 38%.

**Third: Treat stop-loss as a pass**

I accept that trading is fundamentally a game for losers. My statistics are cold: a win rate of only 41.7%, but each profit is 5.2 times the loss. Every 1.5% stop-loss is a cheap ticket I buy to enter the big market. I never insist on "seeing the right," I only let profits run when I am "doing right," and immediately bow out when I am "doing wrong."

After eight years, at thirty-nine, my assets have reached eight figures. I live in a place where I can see the entire city. But the most valuable thing is actually that note on my bedside table—only one sentence is written on it: "Lock in profits, accept stop-loss."

The rules of the market never change. Only your willingness to stop fighting your greed changes.

That's right, you need to look for opportunities within your stop-loss, and don't always think about going all-in in one shot.

Stop-loss is simple to say, but it depends on whether you're willing to cut losses. I’m the type who just can’t bring myself to sell, haha. Greedy people always end up hurting themselves; there’s nothing new about that. I really respect this guy’s logic. Using a cold wallet to take profits is something I also do, and it really helps resist temptation. The dual-direction single strategy sounds interesting, but the key is whether you can truly stick to disciplined execution. Ultimately, it’s about mindset. Most people can’t stick to this approach; as soon as they make money, they want to go all in.

Really? A 41.7% win rate and still making 8 figures? I always feel like I'm part of the 80% wiped out by volatility.

To be honest, I've always struggled with stop-losses. When I see a stop-loss being triggered, I want to reverse my position and go in the opposite direction...

Stop-loss discipline sounds simple in theory, but it's really deadly in practice... I'm the kind of person who can't bear to sell when it rises, and as a result, I get absorbed again every time... Forget it, I won't say more, I keep recalling those painful lessons.
