Can a cryptocurrency exchange truly achieve stable profits? My answer over the past 7 years is: yes, but only if you abandon the mindset of "gambling."
When I entered the scene in 2018, I only had $4,200. I saw many people around me get their contracts liquidated and mortgage their homes, but my account always steadily moved upward at a 45° angle. Over these years, my principal has never retraced more than 8%. It’s not due to some secret K-line trick or insider information, but because I treat myself as the "casino dealer" rather than a gambler. Today, I want to share three real and feasible methods:
**1. Lock-in profits and compound — give your profits a "safety shell"**
Every time I enter a trade, I set take-profit and stop-loss orders simultaneously. When profits reach 10% of the principal, I immediately move 50% into a cold wallet to lock it in, and use the remaining "earned profits" to roll into new trades. What are the benefits of this approach? If the market continues to improve, you enjoy compound growth; if it suddenly reverses, you only give back half of your profits, keeping your principal as steady as a rock. Over 7 years, I’ve withdrawn a total of 58 times, with the highest weekly withdrawal reaching $220,000. The exchange’s customer service even verified my funds with this video.
**2. Displaced position building — turn others’ liquidation zones into your entry points**
Simultaneously monitor three timeframes: confirm the main trend on the daily chart, lock in the range on the 4-hour chart, and find precise entry points on the 15-minute chart. Open two positions on the same coin — one (A) chasing a breakout with a buy order, with stop-loss set at the previous low on the daily chart; the other (B) placing a limit order in the overbought zone on the 4-hour chart to short. Both stop-losses are controlled within 1.5% of the principal, with take-profit targets set at over 5 times. Most of the time, the market is actually oscillating. While others get liquidated due to one-way thinking, you’re already profiting from a dual-direction layout. During the Luna crash in 2022, when the price plunged 90% within 24 hours, both my long and short positions took profits, and my account increased by 42% in a single day.
**3. Stop-loss as your ticket — bet on the biggest opportunities with minimal risk**
Change your view of stop-losses: they are not failures but your entry ticket into the trade. Use only 1.5% of your capital risk to chase trend gains. When the market improves, move your take-profit to let profits run; when the trend turns bad, exit decisively.
**Final practical bottom line**
Divide your funds into 10 parts, use at most 1 part per trade, and never hold more than 3 positions simultaneously. After losing 2 trades in a row, force yourself to stop—go for a run or hit the gym, don’t let emotions hijack your account. When your account doubles, withdraw 20% to allocate to US bonds or gold. This way, when a bear market arrives, you can stay calm.
Honestly, what exchanges fear most isn’t your mistakes, but your inability to recover after liquidation. Master these three tricks, and you can really make the exchange work for you. All my operations are recorded in real trading, with no fabricated stories. For friends who want to avoid pitfalls and steadily accumulate, there’s no need to explore blindly in the crypto world. 🔥
