Many people ask me, why after six years of trading, my account grew from $3,000 to eight figures with zero liquidation records?

To be honest, it's not because I can predict the market, nor do I rely on insider information. The core is one thing—systematic risk management.

**First Layer: Take profits immediately after gains**

Before each position, I set stop-loss and take-profit levels simultaneously. When profits reach 10%, I immediately take half off. The remaining part continues to run, but the psychological pressure is minimized. This approach sounds conservative, but over six years, I have consistently used this logic to secure over 30 profits. The key is— as long as you are alive, you always have a chance to recover.

**Second Layer: Multi-timeframe coordination for sniping**

I never look at just one timeframe. The daily chart is used to judge the overall direction and decide whether to participate; the 4-hour chart assesses trend strength and compares bullish and bearish forces; the 15-minute chart finds specific entry points. Two orders are used in coordination, with total stop-loss strictly controlled within 1.5% of the account, and take-profit targets set at at least 5 times.

The 2022 LUNA crash demonstrated the power of this system— I simultaneously took long and short positions, resulting in a 40% account surge that day. The key is, no one can perfectly predict extreme market conditions, but you can verify across multiple timeframes to improve your entry success rate.

**Third Layer: Treat stop-loss as a ticket**

This might be the most counterintuitive point. My account win rate is only 38%, but the risk-reward ratio is as high as 4.8:1— for every dollar risked, I can earn an average of 4.8 dollars.

When the market is unfavorable, I immediately admit defeat and exit. Stop-loss is never a failure but a ticket to participate in the next opportunity. As long as the account is alive, there is always a chance to turn things around.

**Three practical iron rules**

1. **Capital allocation**: Divide the account into 10 parts, use at most 1 part per trade, and never hold more than 3 parts in total. Even if you lose several trades in a row, there’s still buffer space.

2. **Mindset management**: Stop trading immediately after two consecutive losses. Take a walk, do something else, and resolutely avoid revenge trading. Emotional trading often magnifies small losses into disasters.

3. **Profit conversion**: Every time the account doubles, withdraw 20% of the profit into relatively stable assets like US bonds or gold. When a bear market arrives, these assets give you more peace of mind.

The essence of the crypto market is—risk and opportunity coexist. The real difference between people is not who makes the most money, but who survives the longest. Systematic trading is designed to help you survive long-term in this market and achieve stable profits.
