Treating the exchange as an ATM, what secrets are needed? n nStarting with 5,000 USDT for over five years, growing the account to seven figures, never experiencing a margin call. No need to guess market directions, nor to stare at candlestick charts all day. How is this achieved? n nBack in 2017 when I entered the scene, friends around me were trading futures, one after another getting margin called and selling their houses. My account, however, steadily grew, with a maximum drawdown of less than eight percent. What's the difference? n nNo insider information, no airdrop arbitrage, and I don’t believe in K-line mysticism. Simply put, I treat the market like a slot machine, and I am the one running the casino. What I hold is a set of "probability equivalence tables." n nThe core involves three tricks: n n**First Trick: Lock in Profits** n nWhen you earn ten points on your principal, take half out immediately. Use the remaining to continue rolling. What’s the benefit? When the market goes up, you enjoy compound interest; when it drops, your principal remains intact. n n**Second Trick: Diversify Your Positions** n nBoth bullish and bearish, layout in both directions, and tighten stop-losses. When sideways volatility hits, while others are hesitating whether to trade or not, you can profit from both sides. This is the subtlety of a probability game. n n**Third Trick: Stop-Loss as an Entry Ticket** n nUse small losses to gain big opportunities. My win rate isn’t very high, but each profitable trade far exceeds the losses. The biggest danger isn’t making mistakes, but losing everything in one go and never recovering. n n**Three Practical Rules:** n nDivide your capital into ten parts, using at most one part per trade. Keep no more than three open positions at once. If you lose two trades in a row, shut down and don’t chase revenge trades. Every time your account doubles, take 20% out to buy US bonds or stockpile gold, so you can sleep peacefully even in a bear market. n nThe method sounds simple, but executing it goes against human nature. The market isn’t afraid of your wrong judgment; it’s afraid of you blowing up once and never bouncing back. n nThe key to lasting longer is to be able to laugh last. That’s the real secret to the exchange’s ATM password.
