How to steadily grow your exchange account? Most people get caught up in emotions and greed.



One trader spent 8 years turning $4,200 into a 7-figure sum, with never more than 8% drawdown. His method isn't complicated; it boils down to three key strategies:

**First: Lock in profits and insure gains**

Set stop-loss and take-profit orders at the moment of placing the trade. When profits reach 10% of the principal, immediately withdraw 50% to a cold wallet, and continue to operate with the "free profit." The benefit is: if the market continues to move favorably, you can compound gains; if it reverses, you only lose half of the profit, leaving the principal intact.

This method has been used 58 times over 8 years, with the highest weekly amount reaching around $220,000.

**Second: Multi-timeframe resonance for position building**

Simultaneously analyze the daily, 4-hour, and 15-minute charts:
- Daily determines the overall direction
- 4-hour defines the trading range
- 15-minute handles precise entries

Often, the same coin will have two open orders—Order A chasing the long (stop-loss below the previous daily low), and Order B limiting the short (placed in the overbought zone on the 4-hour). Both stop-losses are controlled within 1.5% of the principal, with take-profit set at over 5 times.

Markets spend 80% of the time in consolidation. Others may get wiped out here, but with this logic, you can profit from both sides. For example, during the 2022 LUNA spike, even with a 90% drop in 24 hours, both long and short positions took profits, and the account increased by 42% in a single day.

**Third: Treat stop-loss as a cost**

A small 1.5% stop-loss provides an opportunity to take a position. Divide your capital into 10 parts; use at most 1 part per trade, and hold no more than 3 parts at once.

After losing two trades in a row, stop trading, go exercise or rest—never open a "revenge trade." When your account doubles, withdraw 20% to allocate into safe assets like US bonds or gold. During a bear market, this keeps your mind at ease.

Damn, this guy has been making 8 figures in 8 years. I'm just wondering how he did it... After taking a closer look, I realized that taking profit and stopping loss sounds simple, but actually executing it is the real hell.

Sounds great, but 58 withdrawals in 8 years? I feel like this guy's story is a bit far-fetched...

To be honest, this theory sounds perfect, but 8 years and 4,200U to reach 8 figures... I feel like it's a bit mystical. Who can verify it?

This explanation sounds quite solid, but going from 4,200U to eight figures in 8 years... just that number is a bit mysterious. I've also seen many claims of "steady profits," but they all end up being wiped out by black swan events. The example of LUNA's peg insertion is even more incredible—dropping 90% in 24 hours and still managing to take profits on both sides? Easy to say, but when you actually face a forced liquidation of a contract, you'll understand. Stop-loss sounds simple, but executing it is a real test of human nature. Most people ultimately fall for that "revenge trade," forgetting the risks once they get their principal back.

8 years to grow from 4200U to 8 digits? Easy to say, but how many can actually do it... This take-profit logic sounds good, but the key is still to withstand the psychological torment during fluctuations.
