Starting with $5,000 in 2017, over the years I've seen too many people around me struggle in the contract market: some chase gains and get wiped out, even selling their houses; others go all-in and end up zeroing out overnight. I chose a different path—zero liquidation records, maximum drawdown never exceeding 8%, and growing to seven figures over five years. Honestly, I don’t play insider tricks or believe in K-line mysticism; I just want to be a clear-headed participant in the market.

**Step One: Lock in profits and put on armor**

Every trade I open has a take-profit and stop-loss set—this is the baseline. Once profits reach 10% of the principal, I immediately transfer 50% to a cold wallet, and continue rolling over the remaining profits. Over five years, I’ve withdrawn 37 times, with the highest weekly withdrawal reaching $180,000, even prompting a video call from exchange customer service suspecting money laundering (laughs).

**Step Two: The key is misaligned positioning—consume retail liquidation orders**

This tactic has a method—determine the main direction on the daily chart, find buy/sell zones on the 4-hour, and execute precise entries on the 15-minute. I dare to open both long and short positions on the same coin, with each stop-loss controlled within 1.5% of the principal, and take profits set at over 5 times. During the Luna crash in 2022, when the price hit 90% of the drop, I set both long and short take-profits, and my account surged 42% in a single day.

**Step Three: The most ruthless logic—38% win rate but big profits**

My win rate is only 38%, but the risk-reward ratio can reach 4.8:1. Using a small 1.5% risk to seize big opportunities, from a probability and mathematical expectation standpoint, ensures steady positive returns.

The core principles of my approach are these: divide your capital into 10 parts for management, risk only one part per trade, and never hold more than 3 positions simultaneously; after losing two trades in a row, stop immediately and go to the gym to break the revenge cycle; every time your account doubles, decisively take out 20% to buy US bonds and gold for hedging.

The market’s biggest fear isn’t making mistakes, but failing to recover after a liquidation. Master this method, and let the exchanges work for you.

Bro, this set of theories sounds pretty solid, but I still have doubts. Can a 38% win rate really guarantee profits? --- So the key is execution, honestly most people simply can't do it—they stop when they start losing. --- Withdrawing 37 times, the exchange customer service asking questions haha, these details are top-notch. --- Using the trick of opening both long and short positions to blow up the liquidation orders, hearing you say this makes me much clearer. But risk control is truly the most important. --- Growing from zero to seven figures in 5 years, that number definitely warrants a question... but the logical framework is indeed sound. --- Here's the key question: can your strategy work in a bear market? --- Managing ten parts of capital per trade, this is similar to the Kelly formula, everyone who understands knows this. --- Doubling each time and doing 20% hedging, this habit is definitely seasoned. --- Basically, it's strict discipline plus risk-reward ratio. There's no mysticism, only probability theory. --- That 42% single-day increase in LUNA, I believe you have some skills, but can this be replicated?

This story sounds a bit familiar, the same old narrative of "38% win rate monthly income of a million"... But honestly, I have to admit that the move of going to the gym after losing 2 trades has some merit. It's much more sensible compared to those reckless gamblers.

Here are several comments with different styles: --- Why does it all seem like survivor bias? Those who actually make money are the ones sharing their experiences. --- 37 withdrawals? That data sounds a bit off, but setting take-profit and stop-loss is definitely key. --- Heard the theory of low win rate with high risk-reward a hundred times, but who has the execution ability? --- I laughed at the part where customer service suspected money laundering, which shows that withdrawals are indeed stable. --- Losing two trades in a row and then stopping trading—this is really easy to overlook. Most people get wiped out by revenge trades. --- Five years with seven figures sounds impressive, but I feel it's lacking without real trading screenshots. --- Dividing funds into ten parts—this ratio is too conservative for small accounts. --- Can opening both long and short positions really make steady profits? Seems more likely to just hedge against yourself and pay more fees. --- Hedging with US bonds and gold is a clear strategy, but most people simply can't stick to it.

You're talking pretty tough, but I didn't find any record of 37 withdrawals on the blockchain.

Alright, it does sound like risk resistance, but the question is, is this method really replicable for retail investors? --- A 38% win rate making money is true, but the risk-reward ratio is something that’s easy to talk about but really requires a big heart to execute. --- That wave of LUNA with double take-profit and a 42% increase, I believe it, but most people probably lost everything in that wave. --- With 37 withdrawals from cold wallets, this rhythm seems to be the key, you just have to hold on. --- Opening both long and short positions sounds impressive, but it’s actually hedging risk. However, most people simply can’t control this rhythm. --- Losing two trades in a row and then going to work out—this kind of mental management is indeed what most contract traders lack. --- Turning 5,000 USD into a seven-figure sum is no joke, but has anyone calculated the psychological cost over these five years? --- Hedging with US bonds and gold, that’s definitely a strategy, but there aren’t many people with the awareness to do so.

A 38% win rate can still earn passively; this risk-reward ratio is indeed outrageous... Losing two consecutive trades and then going to the gym—this trick is brilliant, better than any psychological preparation. But honestly, I believe the part about being monitored by customer service after 37 withdrawals, but the 5,000 USD turning into a seven-figure sum... I really want to see actual account screenshots for verification. A five-year, 8% drawdown sounds too perfect; where in the market is there such a gentle environment?
