I have been in the circle for 5 years and have seen too many scenarios - contract Get Liquidated, borrowing All in, and ending up with nothing. But I have never been Get Liquidated using a completely "counterintuitive" method. My account has steadily rolled from an initial 5000U to seven figures. To put it simply, the core logic is just one sentence: the market is indeed a casino, but you must be the market maker, not a gambler.
Today I will lay out my "cheat sheet"; there's nothing mystical about it, just math and discipline.
**First Move: Profit Lock-Up - Put a Bulletproof Vest on Your Earnings**
The first step in opening a position is not to focus on the ups and downs, but to immediately set the take profit and stop loss. This is not a joke. The moment the profit reaches 10% of the account principal, I directly withdraw 50% to the cold wallet. The remaining profit continues to roll in the market.
What are the benefits of doing this? Two outcomes:
Either the market continues to soar, and the profits are still compounding in the account, earning even more. Or the market reverses and kills, at most I will give back half of the floating profit, with not a single cent lost from the principal. The principal is iron, the profit is floating clouds—this is my trading philosophy.
Last year during the bull market, I withdrew 180,000 U in a single week. The platform's customer service even called to verify the source of the funds. It’s hilarious, this is the result of strictly following the rules – securing profits. There is only one form of real money: in your cold wallet. That string of numbers on the screen could turn to zero at any moment.
I have kept track myself, and with this trick, I have withdrawn 37 times in 5 years. The maximum drawdown is kept within 8%. This is not luck, this is a process.
What is the mindset of an ordinary person? They want to earn the last bit of money. But what do real market makers do? They collect in batches. It seems like they earn less, but in reality, they are protecting both the principal and the profit. From a probabilistic perspective, what is protected is worth much more than what is newly earned.
**Second Strategy: Long and Short Grid - Turning Risk Points into Profit Points**
There is a rule in the market, about 80% of the time it is in a range. This is why so many people chase highs and sell lows—they only operate in trends and are confused in a range market. My method is called "Long and Short Dislocation Positioning", specifically targeting fluctuations.
How to operate specifically? Two orders are executed simultaneously:
A position (following the trend to go long): When the daily trend is upward, I open a long position at the support level on the 4-hour chart. The stop loss is set below the previous low, not exceeding 1.5% of the principal. This way, losses are minimal when I lose, and I can capture the trending market when I win.
B order (counter-trend short): For the same cryptocurrency, I place a limit short order in the overbought zone on the 4-hour chart. The stop-loss is set above the previous high. The purpose of this order is not to bet on a reversal, but to profit from some fluctuations during consolidations. With the stop-loss set, the worst-case scenario is a loss of 1.5%.
The key point is here: if the market only rises, position A makes a profit while position B stops out, resulting in a net gain. If the market fluctuates, A and B take turns making profits. If the market reverses, position A has already stopped out, and position B takes over. No matter how it moves, my principal is within a safe range.
With this grid strategy, you don't need to watch the market every day. Once it's set up, just let the market work for you. After 5 years, I can't even count how many times this method has saved me from the losses of chasing highs and the nightmares of chasing lows.
**Final Words**
To make stable profits, you can't rely on luck, you have to rely on a system. My two tips are not complicated; it's just discipline + math. Many people feel that there is "no technical content" in this, but very few can truly stick to it. This requires you to go against human nature—resisting greed when the market rises and resisting fear when the market falls. If you can achieve this, the growth of your account is just a matter of time.

I admit to taking profits, but honestly I’m still a bit confused about the grid trading strategy. Can you explain how to operate it in more detail?
---
The key is still execution. Many people know these principles, but only a few can really stick to them and avoid chasing highs.
---
I’m impressed by the cold wallet withdrawal trick; it has saved me countless times from the impulse to try to make a comeback.
---
Discipline is easy to talk about, but when the market crashes, can you really stay calm?
---
I’m thinking about trying this long-short grid, but it seems like it takes a lot of time to tune the parameters...
---
The difference in mindset between ordinary people and whales is here: one wants to earn that last dollar, the other has already run away.
---
Five years and 37 withdrawals sounds outrageous, but it doesn’t seem that frequent either?
---
I just want to ask, can this method stay stable in a bear market, or is it only suitable for volatile markets?
---
Principal is solid, profits are fleeting—this is a phrase I need tattooed on me. So clear-minded.
---
Discipline is easy to talk about, but I have yet to see many people who can stay calm and set stop-losses when the market drops 50%.
---
Grid trading sounds good, but I have to ask—does anyone really stick to the parameters without changing them?
---
I agree with the saying "take profits and run," but I've seen too many cases where paper gains turn into negative numbers.
---
A 1.5% stop-loss combined with 80% sideways movement—whether this logic is sound or not, I need to backtest myself to believe it.
---
From 5000U to seven figures—if this is real, it’s definitely a template, but probability theory tells me such samples are too rare.
---
I'm curious about how this method performs in a bear market. Making money in a bull market is easy; who doesn't?
---
Withdrawing from cold wallets 37 times sounds great, but from another perspective, it also shows that no one has ever received "the final pie," which is quite unfortunate.
---
I agree with the term "anti-human nature," but human nature can't be changed. It still has to be taught through losing money.
---
The grid trading strategy sounds simple, but very few people actually set proper stop-losses.
---
From 5,000 to seven figures? I believe it, but I really can't stick to discipline.
---
"The principal is solid, profits are fleeting" really hit me in the heart. No wonder I always chase that last dollar.
---
37 withdrawals—how many times did I resist greed behind that number?
---
I hadn't realized before that the pattern of 80% of the time oscillating. No wonder the market always plays tricks on us.
---
The most difficult anti-human nature method isn't understanding, but execution. In plain terms, it's about mindset.
---
Cold wallets are truly the last fortress; otherwise, I would have already given it all back.
---
These two tricks are not technically complex but really effective. Much more reliable than those complicated indicators.
---
With a weekly withdrawal of 180,000, customer service called to verify. Haha, this must be what making money feels like.
It's easy to say, but it's really hard to stick with it, especially when watching the numbers in the account rise.
However, that statistic of 37 withdrawals is quite something; you really have to treat the money in the Cold Wallet as the only real money.
