In 2017, I entered the market with $5,000. Over the years, I've seen too many people around me get liquidated due to contracts, and even mortgage their homes, leading to their families being torn apart. My account, on the other hand, seems to be climbing a slope—steadily rising, with a maximum drawdown of no more than 8% over five years, never getting liquidated, and now I've crossed the threshold of seven figures.



To be honest, this is not based on insider information or luck. I use a trading system called "Probability Profit Method." In these unpredictable market days, it is actually more effective than before. Today, I will break down and explain the things I have learned over the years.

**First Tip: Lock in profits with compound interest, give your earnings an insurance**

Every time I open a position, the first step is to set the take profit and stop loss orders. As long as the profit reaches 10% of the principal, I will immediately withdraw 50% of the profits to the cold wallet, and the remaining half will continue to run in the market.

It may not sound impressive, but with this simple action, I have safely withdrawn profits 37 times over five years. In the toughest week, I directly withdrew $180,000, an amount so large that the exchange's customer service specifically called via video to confirm it was indeed me operating. After the withdrawal, the money you use to continue rolling your account is all "profit earned for free"—the mindset is completely different.

Why is this trick especially useful now? The market is particularly volatile right now, often soaring today and plummeting tomorrow. With this method, even if the market reverses later, you only lose a portion of your profits, and your principal remains untouched. Compared to working hard for half a year and losing everything in one adjustment, this feeling is much more reassuring.

**Second Tip: Misaligned Positioning, Treat Volatile Markets as an ATM**

I never put all my chips on one direction. I use the "dislocated positioning method" with multiple cycles - short-cycle, medium-cycle, and long-cycle layouts. This way, no matter how the market fluctuates, there are always positions making a profit. In a volatile market, it's easiest for people to get washed out, but looking at it from another angle, volatility means repeated opportunities.
