Exchanges make money, which seems mysterious but is actually a probability game.

Over six years, turning $5,000 into an eight-figure account, the core is not guessing rises and falls or relying on magical indicators—it's about establishing a systematic trading framework. No over-leveraging or liquidation due to position size, the key is how to survive long enough.

**Level One: Lock in Profits, Compound Growth**

Design your exit strategy in the first second of placing an order. Place stop-loss and take-profit orders simultaneously, and withdraw 50% of profits once reaching 15%. The remaining half continues to run, as a "gift" from the market. This may seem conservative, but over five years, it can accumulate over 50 stable profits. Small wins may seem insignificant, but multiple small wins add up to big gains.

**Level Two: Multi-Cycle Analysis, Precise Positioning**

Don’t focus on just one K-line cycle. The daily chart determines whether to participate in a particular asset, the 4-hour chart assesses the overall trend, and the 15-minute chart finds specific entry points. Open positions in two directions at once, keep stop-loss within 1.5%, and set take-profit at at least 6 times the risk. During the 2019 LUNA crash, by taking both long and short positions, the account gained 60% in a single day. It’s not about betting on one direction but having profit mechanisms on both sides.

**Level Three: Small Losses for Big Opportunities**

Don’t be overly obsessed with win rate—40% win rate can still be profitable. The secret lies in the risk-reward ratio: an average risk-reward ratio of 5.2:1 means risking 1 dollar to earn 2.1 dollars. When the market doesn’t cooperate, accept the loss and exit; stop-loss is your ticket to participate in the next opportunity. As long as the account is alive, new opportunities will come.

**Three Iron Rules of Practice:**

1. Divide total funds into 20 parts; no single position exceeds 1 part, and hold at most 2 positions simultaneously.

2. After 3 consecutive losses, immediately stop trading, do something else to relax, and never revenge trade.

3. After doubling the account, withdraw 30% of the profits into US bonds or gold. This way, even in a bear market, you can sleep peacefully.

Many people fear missing out, but exchanges are not afraid of your mistakes—they fear one mistake that causes complete liquidation and makes it impossible to recover. Survival first, profit second. Master this logic, and the exchange will truly become your ATM.
