#数字资产市场动态 From 5,000 USDT to seven-figure accounts, never liquidated in 5 years
In 2017, I entered the market with 5,000 USDT. At that time, people around me were one after another getting liquidated on futures, selling their houses and cars. Meanwhile, my account kept growing, with a drawdown never exceeding 8%. I don’t rely on insider information, don’t chase airdrops, and don’t believe in candlestick patterns. I treat trading as a business, not a casino. Over time, I developed three trading strategies, each of which I could document in my trading logs.
**Strategy 1: Lock profits into a cold wallet and let compound interest work**
Every trade I place has both a take profit and a stop loss—this is the baseline. Once profits reach 10% of the principal, I immediately withdraw 50% of the profit into a cold wallet, and the remaining continues to grow. When the market is favorable, the compounding effect is obvious; when the market reverses, the worst-case scenario is just giving back half of the profit, with the principal still intact. Over these five years, I’ve taken profits 37 times in total. During one week, my withdrawal limit even reached 180,000 USDT—exchanges started to suspect I was doing something unusual.
**Strategy 2: Cross-cycle position building, catching the moment others get liquidated**
I monitor three timeframes simultaneously: daily for the main trend, 4-hour for trading ranges, and 15-minute for precise entries. For the same coin, I open two positions—Position A enters on a breakout of the daily chart with a stop loss at the previous low; Position B uses limit orders to ambush in the overbought zone on the 4-hour chart. Both stops are controlled within 1.5% of the principal, with take profit targets set at over 5 times. Most of the market is in consolidation 80% of the time, and most traders get liquidated in such conditions. But I profit from both sides. During the Luna event in 2022, I used a dual take profit mode on both long and short positions, which caused my account to grow by 42% in a single day.
**Strategy 3: Treat stop loss as entry fee, use small risks to leverage big gains**
I risk 1.5% per trade to chase bigger opportunities—that’s a logic I derived from probability mathematics. My historical win rate is actually only 38%, much lower than the 80% many boast about, but my risk-reward ratio can reach 4.8:1—meaning, when I win, I earn a lot; when I lose, I lose little. The mathematical expectation is +1.9%, so risking 1 dollar can reliably earn 1.9 dollars. If I can catch just two major trending moves per year, my returns will far outperform most financial products.
**Three golden rules for implementation**
Divide your account into ten parts; use at most one part per trade, and hold no more than three positions simultaneously. After two consecutive losses, shut down the trading software and go to the gym—no revenge trades. Every time my account doubles, I allocate 20% of the profit to buy US bonds or gold, so even if a bear market hits, I can sleep peacefully.
The most frightening thing in crypto isn’t losing money, but being unable to recover after liquidation. Master these three strategies thoroughly. I can’t promise they will make you instantly rich, but stable compound growth is entirely achievable.

38% win rate earns 4.8 times, the mathematical expectation is +1.9%, I’m convinced by this profit and loss ratio logic
---
Another story of turning $5,000 into a seven-figure sum, it’s exhausting just to watch
---
Storing profits in a cold wallet is brilliant; it really helps break the addiction to frequent trading
---
LUNA surged 42% in a single day that day, I got liquidated immediately haha
---
Losing two trades in a row and then closing the software to go to the gym, this level of self-discipline is truly incredible
---
A 38% win rate can still be consistently profitable, which shows most people really lose due to their mindset
---
Used to think these kinds of articles are all bragging, now I realize some people might really trade like this
---
20% allocation to US bonds and gold, this is money set aside for my sleep
---
The cross-cycle position building and lurking strategy, it sounds simple but how many lessons have been learned in practice
---
If I could stick to this profit and loss ratio system, I probably wouldn’t have to lose money every day

Taking profits and stopping losses must be executed properly; otherwise, it's just a gambler's mentality.

38% win rate earns 4.8 times, this math is absolutely brilliant, much more civilized than my previous all-in mentality.
Stop-loss is really just a fee; once you turn that mindset around, the whole world becomes clear.
That line about not bouncing back after a margin call really hits the nerve—I really am like that.
Losing two consecutive trades and then closing the software to go to the gym—that's true self-discipline.
With 180,000 withdrawn in a week, exchange employees are definitely talking about you, haha.
