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.
