I have been in the industry since 2016, and my account has maintained a consistently upward curve of 45°. Over five years, I have never experienced a liquidation, yet there are many contract traders around me who are completely out after just one leverage loss. The difference is not in prediction ability but in systematic risk management.



Today, I want to share three core frameworks——

**First: Discipline in Taking Profits**

The very first second I open a position, I place two orders simultaneously—take profit and stop loss. When profits reach 10% of the principal, I immediately withdraw 50% of the gains to a cold wallet, and the remaining part is used for rolling over. The key point is: you are always rolling over excess gains, not the principal. The benefit of this approach is that both extremes are acceptable—if the market continues to rise, you amplify gains through compound interest; if the market reverses, at most you lose the profit portion, with the principal fully protected. Over five years, this method has allowed me to safely realize profits dozens of times, with the highest weekly withdrawal approaching 200,000, and the strict risk control has been verified multiple times by the exchange.

**Second: Displaced Positioning Strategy**

I observe three timeframes simultaneously: daily for the main trend, 4-hour for defining ranges, and 15-minute for precise sniping. For the same asset, I open two orders: Order A follows the bullish trend when key levels are broken, with a stop loss set at the previous daily low; Order B places limit sell orders in the 4-hour overbought zone. Both orders keep stop losses within 1.5% of the principal, but profit targets are set at over 5 times. Since most of the market time is oscillating up and down, this framework allows me to profit from dual-direction volatility rather than being eaten up by whipsaws.

**Third: Stop Loss as a Cost of Risk Control**

Every 1.5% stop loss can be understood as paying tuition—exchanging this small cost for a potential big opportunity next time. The key is to move the take profit in a timely manner when the market cooperates, allowing profits to run fully; when the market turns, execute the stop loss immediately and exit.

These methods are easy to talk about but constantly test human nature during execution—impulses to add to positions, resist closing, or "add another layer" can appear at any time. But remember one thing: the market is not afraid of your wrong judgment; it’s only afraid that one mistake will leave you completely unable to recover. Protect your principal well, and you will have the qualification to continue trading.

Basically, it's about strict discipline, right? Don't think about going all-in at once; as long as the principal is alive, you've won.

That's right, you have to protect your principal to survive longer. I was greedy before, and one leverage blow-up made me afraid to touch contracts now. --- Damn, this framework sounds really clear-headed. Much better than those who shout about tenfold coins every day. I need to learn from it. --- Five years without liquidation? That takes incredible self-control. I feel like I can't do that. --- The key is that human nature is too difficult. Every time, I want to add another layer, but often it's that very layer that causes you to get out. --- Withdrawing 200,000 in a week—this risk control is indeed excellent, but it's probably hard for most people to implement. --- There's some truth to it, but who can truly predict the market? It still feels like luck plays a big role. --- That's why so many people around me get liquidated—because they simply can't stick to this discipline. --- Withdrawing coins to a cold wallet is a smart move, directly cutting off the thought of guilt-driven rebuys.

You're absolutely right, but execution is genuinely harder than reaching the moon. All my buddies who got liquidated died on these three words: "add one more layer."

There's nothing wrong with that, but in practice, it can really drive people crazy. I've seen too many people who understand the importance of stop-loss but still stubbornly hold onto their positions.

It's a good point, but I'm really worried that greed might still eat away at us when it comes to actual execution. --- The discipline of taking profits is really on point; so many people around me want to wait for 50% after just 10%. --- The idea of hedging with two trades is good, but in practice, will switching timeframes frequently lead to cutting losses? --- A 1.5% stop loss sounds easy, but can you react quickly when the market drops rapidly? --- Is a 5x take profit target set too high? How low would the winning probability be then? --- I think the part about withdrawing from cold wallets is a bit exaggerated. Do exchanges really verify your risk control? Haha. --- The core is not to add positions or fight against the trend. It sounds simple, but in reality, it requires steel willpower. --- This framework sounds like standard teaching. Can it really run steadily for such a long time in live trading?

Sounds good in theory, but how many people actually follow through with disciplined execution? Most people finish reading this set of theories and then want to try leveraging, only to lose everything in a single night of margin calls.

Well said, but execution is too difficult. I always want to resist the order...

To be blunt, the most important thing is to get out alive. I've seen too many people who said "I'll definitely break even," and ended up permanently offline.

That's right, risk control is the prerequisite for survival; those who resist orders don't end up well.
