Easy money? Don't dream about it, but there is a way to make you sleep well.
Turning 5000U principal into six figures sounds mysterious? It's actually just a game of probability.
When I entered the market in 2015, I saw people around me getting liquidated to the point of having to mortgage their houses to recover. As for my own account? At the worst times, my drawdown never exceeded 8%. It wasn't luck; it was that I understood from the beginning that in this industry, it's not about guessing price movements to make a living, but about not dying.
My approach is simple and straightforward: I always set take profit and stop loss whenever I open a position. Once I earn 10% of my principal, I withdraw half and put it in a cold wallet, while I continue to trade with the rest. When the price rises, I enjoy compound interest, and if it falls, I only lose at most half. Over the years, I have withdrawn more than 30 times, and there was one week where I withdrew an astonishing 150,000 U. The platform's risk control even came to check the source of the funds.
How to allocate positions? I simultaneously monitor three time frames: the daily chart for the overall trend, the 4-hour chart for the fluctuation range, and the 15-minute chart to find entry points. Sometimes, for the same coin, I will open two orders—one following the trend with a stop loss set at the daily low; the other placed in the overbought area on the 4-hour chart for a reversal. Last year, I encountered an extreme situation with a 90% spike in a single day, and I took profits from both sides, leading to a 40% surge in my account that day. That feeling was exhilarating.
Win rate? I only have about 35%, but I can achieve a profit-loss ratio of 5:1, so my mathematical expectation is always positive. When the market is good, let the profits run; when the market is bad, cut quickly.
More aggressive capital management: divide the total position into 10 parts, with a maximum of 1 part moved at a time, and hold no more than 3 parts simultaneously. Continuous losses on two trades? Stop, take a walk and think it over. Has the account doubled? Withdraw 20% to invest in some stable assets, don’t put everything in volatile trades.
In simple terms, making money in this industry doesn't rely on guessing the right direction, but on enduring until the trend arrives. Most people get stuck or face liquidation, not because they aren't smart enough, but because they haven't figured out how to survive. The market won't wait for anyone, but it will reward those who are still standing.
