The group of people who entered the market in 2017, I've seen many fall on contracts. I've heard several stories from colleagues about margin calls and mortgage houses, and the tragedies around me are enough to make a drama. Meanwhile, my account curve has always maintained a 45° upward trajectory, with the biggest drawdown in these 8 years not exceeding 8% of the principal. It sounds like a fairy tale, but if you break it down, there's nothing mysterious about it.

Starting with a principal of 2000U, relying on a systematic risk management logic, I eventually grew it to seven figures. Not relying on insider information, not daily airdrops, and definitely not some K-line mysticism—it's simply treating the market as a probability game, with my role always as the "market maker" rather than the "gambler."

**First Layer: Lock in Profits, Prevent Reversal**

The very first second I open a position, I set two orders—take profit and stop loss. This isn't a clever trick, just basic operation. Once the account's floating profit reaches 10% of the principal, I immediately take out 50% of the profit, transferring USDT directly to a cold wallet. The remaining half continues to compound.

The key point: I'm not rolling over the principal, but "free money." The benefit of this approach is that if the market continues to rise, you enjoy compound interest; if it reverses, you only lose up to half of this wave of profit, keeping the principal always safe. Over these 8 years, I've done this 54 times, with the largest single withdrawal being 300,000U in a week. The exchange even verified this with a video call, thinking I triggered some risk control.

**Second Layer: Multi-Period Overlay, Bidirectional Sniping**

Monitoring three timeframes simultaneously is essential: daily for the big trend, 4-hour for the range, and 15-minute for entry points. For the same coin, I usually open two positions:

A order chasing a breakout to go long, with stop loss set at the previous low on the daily chart.
B order placing a limit short in the overbought zone on the 4-hour chart.

Both stop losses are controlled within 1.5% of the principal, but the take profit targets are set at over 5 times. Most of the time, the market is oscillating, and during dual-direction probing, others get margin called, while I can profit from both sides.

**Third Layer: Stop Loss Is Not Failure, It’s a Ticket Exchange**

Many people see stop loss as a shameful thing, but my logic is the opposite—losing 1.5% is a small price for a chance to take the helm. When the market is favorable, I activate a trailing stop to let profits run; when the market turns, I quickly exit.

This method can be explained in three or five minutes, but truly executing it in the market is another matter. The biggest enemy of human nature is oneself—wanting to hold on, go all-in, or add more positions. Whenever these thoughts arise, I remind myself: risk always comes before reward.

The market is always there, and opportunities always exist. It’s not about instant huge profits, but about how long you can survive.
