Lock profits into your DNA, making taking profits an instinct.

In my early thirties, I hit the pause button on life. My startup project fell apart, costing me 600,000 yuan, and my relationships also reached a dead end. I was left with only 3,000 yuan in my pocket. I invested 1,000 USD into the crypto world—not a reckless gamble, but a set of survival rules I devised in despair.

Six years have passed in the blink of an eye. I haven't become a legendary figure, but through several bull and bear cycles, I managed to grow my account to seven figures. Today, I want to talk not about wealth myths, but about how to survive longer in this market by using a trading system that defies intuition.

**First Transformation: Lock in Profits**

When I first entered the scene, like most people, my account would double one day and then halve the next. The real change started with a strict rule: every time I opened a trade, I set stop-loss and take-profit levels. Once I earned 8% of my principal, I immediately transferred 40% of that profit into a cold wallet.

I stuck to this practice for over ten years, locking in profits 52 times, with the highest single withdrawal reaching 180,000 USD. The platform’s risk control even called to ask if something was wrong. I showed them my trading records: letting some gains "evaporate" was the most direct way to fight greed.

The truly wealthy people in crypto all have one thing in common—they have ingrained anti-human operations into their bones.

**Second Breakthrough: Paying Toll in Volatility**

I don’t bet on the direction of price movements. Instead, I focus on capturing the 75% of market chaos. My strategy is simple: for the same coin, I place long orders at breakout levels and short orders at pullback levels. Each stop-loss is strictly controlled within 1% of the principal.

While most chase the trend, I pick up bargains amid the ashes of bulls and bears fighting each other.
