I haven’t liquidated for five years. Using this method, I turned 5,000 USDT into a seven-figure account.

Many people think trading profits come from predicting the market. In reality, what truly determines the outcome is whether you have a method you can execute long-term. I don’t bet on news and I don’t rely on luck. I only do three things.

First, set aside the money you’ve made.

Before every trade, I set take-profit and stop-loss. Once a profit hits the target, I don’t keep getting greedy. Instead, I take out part of the profit and move it off-site, while the remaining capital continues to compound. The benefit is: if the trend keeps going, you can enjoy compounding; if the market reverses, you won’t give back all the money you previously earned. Making money isn’t the hard part—protecting profits is the real skill.

Second, trade with the trend and don’t clash with the market.

When I trade, I only look at three timeframes:

The big timeframe to determine direction, the mid timeframe to find opportunities, and the small timeframe to find the entry point.

If the trend is clear, I follow it. If the direction isn’t clear, I wait patiently.

A lot of people lose money not because they can’t analyze, but because they keep rushing into trades every time.

Opportunities aren’t chased into—they’re waited for.

Third, use small losses to get big opportunities.

A stop-loss isn’t failure—it’s the cost of trading. I only take on a limited risk each time, so I can have more chances to try and improve. Even if you’re not right every time, as long as you control losses so that the room for profit is greater than the room for loss, you’ll still have an edge in the long run.

At the same time, remember a few principles:

Manage capital in batches; never go all-in at once;

Stop trading after consecutive losses to avoid emotional decisions;

After your account grows, protect profits in time so one mistake doesn’t wipe out what you’ve built. $LUMIA
