Having been in this circle for eight years, I have seen too many stories. Some people have had their cars collateralized after a contract liquidation, while others saw their accounts surge 38% in a single day during black swan events. I don’t consider myself an expert, just treat trading as a probability game, using rules to suppress emotions. Today, I want to share three methods that have helped me survive until now—maybe not as exciting as "hundredfold coins," but they can truly help you survive through various market conditions.

**First: Profit Layering, Insure the Earnings**

I never let the profits run wild. Every time I enter a trade, I set take profit and stop loss simultaneously. Once profits reach 8% of the principal, I immediately transfer 40% of the profit to a cold wallet, and the remaining 60% continues to be used as "profit principal" for rolling trades.

Why stop at 40%? It’s about balancing risk and compound interest. If the market continues to rise, you use the earned money to bet on bigger gains; if the trend reverses, at least nearly half of the profit is locked in, and the principal remains safe. The cold wallet is interesting—once the money is moved out, it no longer participates in trading. This itself acts as a psychological barrier, minimizing the chance that fluctuations in account numbers will blow your mind.

Over eight years, I’ve taken profits 32 times, with the weekly maximum reaching 150,000 USD. The real cash taken into the wallet feels more reassuring than just the numbers on the account.

To be blunt: many people lose money not because of poor judgment, but because they are too greedy when making profits and too hopeful when losing. This layered profit-locking method is a physical way to counteract human weaknesses.

**Second: Multi-Cycle Positioning, Treat Market Fluctuations as an ATM**

I don’t try to predict rises or falls; instead, I use position allocation to manage uncertainty. For the same coin, I open two opposite positions simultaneously. Position A mainly enters when a weekly uptrend is established and breaks through key levels on the 1-hour chart; Position B is a defensive position to hedge potential pullback risks. No matter how the market moves, there are always positions making money.
