Starting with $5,000 in 2017, over the years I've seen too many people around me struggle in the contract market: some chase gains and get wiped out, even selling their houses; others go all-in and end up zeroing out overnight. I chose a different path—zero liquidation records, maximum drawdown never exceeding 8%, and growing to seven figures over five years. Honestly, I don’t play insider tricks or believe in K-line mysticism; I just want to be a clear-headed participant in the market.

**Step One: Lock in profits and put on armor**

Every trade I open has a take-profit and stop-loss set—this is the baseline. Once profits reach 10% of the principal, I immediately transfer 50% to a cold wallet, and continue rolling over the remaining profits. Over five years, I’ve withdrawn 37 times, with the highest weekly withdrawal reaching $180,000, even prompting a video call from exchange customer service suspecting money laundering (laughs).

**Step Two: The key is misaligned positioning—consume retail liquidation orders**

This tactic has a method—determine the main direction on the daily chart, find buy/sell zones on the 4-hour, and execute precise entries on the 15-minute. I dare to open both long and short positions on the same coin, with each stop-loss controlled within 1.5% of the principal, and take profits set at over 5 times. During the Luna crash in 2022, when the price hit 90% of the drop, I set both long and short take-profits, and my account surged 42% in a single day.

**Step Three: The most ruthless logic—38% win rate but big profits**

My win rate is only 38%, but the risk-reward ratio can reach 4.8:1. Using a small 1.5% risk to seize big opportunities, from a probability and mathematical expectation standpoint, ensures steady positive returns.

The core principles of my approach are these: divide your capital into 10 parts for management, risk only one part per trade, and never hold more than 3 positions simultaneously; after losing two trades in a row, stop immediately and go to the gym to break the revenge cycle; every time your account doubles, decisively take out 20% to buy US bonds and gold for hedging.

The market’s biggest fear isn’t making mistakes, but failing to recover after a liquidation. Master this method, and let the exchanges work for you.

This story sounds a bit familiar, the same old narrative of "38% win rate monthly income of a million"... But honestly, I have to admit that the move of going to the gym after losing 2 trades has some merit. It's much more sensible compared to those reckless gamblers.

Here are several comments with different styles: --- Why does it all seem like survivor bias? Those who actually make money are the ones sharing their experiences. --- 37 withdrawals? That data sounds a bit off, but setting take-profit and stop-loss is definitely key. --- Heard the theory of low win rate with high risk-reward a hundred times, but who has the execution ability? --- I laughed at the part where customer service suspected money laundering, which shows that withdrawals are indeed stable. --- Losing two trades in a row and then stopping trading—this is really easy to overlook. Most people get wiped out by revenge trades. --- Five years with seven figures sounds impressive, but I feel it's lacking without real trading screenshots. --- Dividing funds into ten parts—this ratio is too conservative for small accounts. --- Can opening both long and short positions really make steady profits? Seems more likely to just hedge against yourself and pay more fees. --- Hedging with US bonds and gold is a clear strategy, but most people simply can't stick to it.

You're talking pretty tough, but I didn't find any record of 37 withdrawals on the blockchain.

Alright, it does sound like risk resistance, but the question is, is this method really replicable for retail investors? --- A 38% win rate making money is true, but the risk-reward ratio is something that’s easy to talk about but really requires a big heart to execute. --- That wave of LUNA with double take-profit and a 42% increase, I believe it, but most people probably lost everything in that wave. --- With 37 withdrawals from cold wallets, this rhythm seems to be the key, you just have to hold on. --- Opening both long and short positions sounds impressive, but it’s actually hedging risk. However, most people simply can’t control this rhythm. --- Losing two trades in a row and then going to work out—this kind of mental management is indeed what most contract traders lack. --- Turning 5,000 USD into a seven-figure sum is no joke, but has anyone calculated the psychological cost over these five years? --- Hedging with US bonds and gold, that’s definitely a strategy, but there aren’t many people with the awareness to do so.

A 38% win rate can still earn passively; this risk-reward ratio is indeed outrageous... Losing two consecutive trades and then going to the gym—this trick is brilliant, better than any psychological preparation. But honestly, I believe the part about being monitored by customer service after 37 withdrawals, but the 5,000 USD turning into a seven-figure sum... I really want to see actual account screenshots for verification. A five-year, 8% drawdown sounds too perfect; where in the market is there such a gentle environment?
