Many people treat themselves as gamblers in exchanges, but I see myself as a boss. Over the past six years, I started with 4,000 USD and grew my account to eight figures, all without a single liquidation, relying not on insider information or magical indicators, but on a repeatedly refined trading system. Today, I will share the core logic of this system.

**First Rule: Locking in profits and compounding is the way to survive**

Before entering each trade, I set the exit rules—both stop-loss and take-profit are pre-placed orders. It sounds conservative, but in reality, it’s the underlying logic of compound growth. Once profits reach 10%, I immediately take half off the table to secure gains, leaving the rest as my "free betting capital" contributed by the market, free to rise or fall. What’s the benefit of doing this? Over six years, I’ve taken profits more than 40 times just by this discipline. Many think this approach might cause missed opportunities, but actually, the stable small profits stacking up create a compound effect that far exceeds a single big gamble.

**Second Rule: Dislocate your position building, break down technical analysis into multiple dimensions**

Don’t get stuck analyzing the market in a single cycle. My approach is: use the daily chart to determine the trend, the 4-hour chart to find turning points, and the 15-minute chart for precise entries. Each trade’s stop-loss is strictly controlled within 1.4%, and the take-profit target is at least 5.5 times the risk. You might ask, is such a ratio achievable? Yes. During the Luna collapse in 2022 and the Bitcoin black swan in 2023, whether I was long or short, I maintained profitability. One day, my account surged 45% in a single day, thanks to this dislocated logic that helped me find the optimal entry points at different cycle intersections.

**Third Rule: Stop-loss is the prerequisite for explosive profits**

This may sound contradictory, but let me explain. I don’t pursue high win rates; my win rate is only 37%. But it doesn’t affect profitability because my risk-reward ratio is as high as 5:1. For every dollar risked, I lock in at least five dollars of profit potential. When the market turns against me, I exit immediately, recognizing my mistake in one second. Stop-loss is never a loss; it’s the entry ticket to continue trading in the market. Many see stop-loss as a symbol of failure, but that mindset is wrong.

**Three practical disciplines, none can be missing**

Having a strategy without execution discipline is just playing around. First: divide your capital into 10 parts, use at most one part per trade, and never hold more than three positions at once. The benefit is that a single loss can never damage the core of your principal. Second: after two consecutive losses, immediately shut down and exit—never revenge trade. This is the hardest part because emotions tempt you to recover losses, but that’s also when liquidation is most likely. Shutting down is essentially cooling your emotional system and waiting for the state to recover. Third: every time your account doubles, withdraw 20% into stable assets. You can sleep peacefully in a bear market, and compound in a bull market, always maintaining the confidence to turn things around.

The biggest fear in crypto isn’t making mistakes, but being unable to recover after one. I’ve validated this system and discipline over six years. Master these three strategies and three disciplines, and you will not only avoid being liquidated but also turn the exchange into your real ATM.
