In 2018, I entered the cryptocurrency market with a mindset of testing the waters. I thought I would end up like my friends, either losing everything in contracts or watching my assets shrink to tears. However, I managed to grow from 5000 to seven figures in five years using a strategy of 'not guessing the rise and fall, not staring at K-lines.' The key is that I never faced liquidation, and my maximum drawdown was less than 8% of my principal!
You might not believe it when I say this, but many of my friends stare at the screen every day, watching K-lines, drawing trend lines, and calculating MACD, yet they still end up losing money. But I am different; I play a 'probability game,' and the core principle is just two words: stability. Today, I will share the valuable insights I've kept hidden; once you learn them, you too can make steady profits in this unpredictable market.
Let’s talk about my 'lock-in compound interest method.' This trick is my lifeline. Each time I open a position, I set a take profit and stop loss in advance, never giving the market a chance to 'counterattack.' Moreover, there’s a strict rule: as soon as profits reach 10% of the principal, I immediately withdraw half and place it in a safe wallet, while the remaining profits continue to roll over. Don’t underestimate this step; many people lose everything because they are greedy, unwilling to take profits, and ultimately give it all back. The core of my method is 'only rolling over profits, not the principal.' When the market is good, profits can snowball; even if the market suddenly reverses, at most, I lose a little profit, while the principal remains stable. Over the past five years, I have withdrawn 37 times, with a weekly maximum of 180,000. At that time, the platform even contacted me for a video verification of the source of funds, fearing I might do something shady. Looking back, it’s quite amusing.
Now let’s talk about the 'misaligned position building technique,' which allows me to make money even in a fluctuating market. I usually start by looking at the daily chart to determine the overall direction, then use the 4-hour chart to find the trading range, and finally pinpoint entry points using the 15-minute chart. For the same cryptocurrency, I will open two orders: Order A will chase the long position when it breaks a key level, with the stop loss set at the previous low on the daily chart; Order B will place a limit sell order in the overbought region indicated by the 4-hour chart. The key here is that both orders have stop losses controlled within 1.5% of the principal, but the take profits can be set at over 5 times. You should know that the market spends 80% of its time in fluctuation. Last year, a cryptocurrency had particularly large daily fluctuations, and many people panicked. However, with these two orders, I took profits on both sides, and my account directly increased by 42% that day; I even woke up smiling at night.
Some may ask, do you have a high win rate? To be honest, my win rate is only 38%, but why can I still make money? The key lies in 'cutting losses for big profits.' I treat a 1.5% stop loss as my entry cost. When the market is good, I move my take profit to let profits run; when the market is bad, I cut losses immediately and leave, never getting attached to losing trades. Let me do the math for you: my win-loss ratio can reach 4.8:1, and the mathematical expectation is a positive 1.9%. Over the long term, making money is a high probability event.
Finally, let me share a few practical tips that I have summarized from my own experiences: First, divide your capital into 10 parts, using at most 1 part for a single type of asset, and holding no more than 3 parts at the same time. Diversifying risks is crucial; Second, if you incur 2 consecutive losses, stop and adjust. Don't think about making up for losses right away; the more anxious you are, the more likely you will make mistakes; Third, each time your account doubles, withdraw 20% to invest in stable assets. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
In the crypto market, it’s never about luck but rather about counterintuitive discipline. Be neither greedy nor impatient, and maintain your probabilistic advantage; the market will naturally reward you. Many people continue to lose not because they don’t work hard enough, but because they haven’t found the right method. It’s like trying to find your way in the dark without a guiding light.
