Can you really make money in the crypto world? I've heard this question too many times.

Many people stay up late to monitor the market, but there are also quite a few who face liquidation during sudden price spikes. I have seen people risk their entire fortune just to gamble on an "insider tip", only to end up with no chance to recover. Over the years of wandering in the market, I have witnessed people mortgaging their houses to cover their losses, and I have also seen many who silently deleted their trading apps.

I started participating in 2017, and my account performance has been like climbing a long slope—steady, very steady. The maximum drawdown has never exceeded 8%, and the initial principal of 5000U has grown to a seven-figure sum through continuous compounding. This isn't based on luck, but rather treating trading as a quantifiable probability problem.

In the bull and bear cycles of the past few years, I have steadily withdrawn more than 30 times, with a peak withdrawal of 150,000 U in a single week, and the transaction flow is clearly traceable on the blockchain. It may be hard for some to believe, but the method is actually not mysterious, with just three key points:

**Tip 1: Take profit and stop loss are real insurance**

Every order must set take profit and stop loss, without exception. When the profit reaches 10% of the principal, I will immediately transfer half of the earnings to a cold wallet for safekeeping, while the remaining half continues to grow. What are the benefits of this? No matter how crazy the price increase is, I can still enjoy the benefits of compound interest, and in case of a downturn, I only lose a portion of the profits already made, while the principal remains intact. It's like equipping the account with an airbag, capable of withstanding any market shocks.

**Second Strategy: Multi-Timeframe Linkage + Reverse Hedging**

When operating, use the daily chart to determine the overall direction, find the oscillation range in the 4-hour period, and then use the 15-minute chart for precise entry. For the same coin, I will open two positions in opposite directions at the same time: one position follows the trend breakout, with the stop loss placed at the key support on the daily chart; the other position is a reverse order placed at the overbought or oversold level on the 4-hour chart.

Last year, a certain mainstream coin experienced a single-day spike of over 90%. I made a 40% profit that day using this two-way strategy. This is the power of probabilistic trading—not betting on the direction of the rise or fall, but treating the volatility itself as a tool for making money.

**Third Tip: Capital allocation is always greater than technical analysis**

Divide the account funds into 10 parts, using only 1 part for each trade, while holding no more than 3 parts in positions at the same time. If you lose two consecutive trades, immediately pause and never continue trading out of frustration. Once the account doubles, withdraw 20% and invest it in stable assets; consider this money as gone and do not touch it again.

My trading win rate is actually not high, only 35%, but because the win-loss ratio is controlled at 5:1 (the average profit per winning trade is 5, and the average loss per losing trade is 1), the mathematical expectation always points to a positive return. This is the power of mathematics.

In the end, the truth about making money in the crypto world is: you don't need to guess the direction correctly every time; you just need to live long enough to wait for those true big trends to arrive. Most people's losses are not due to a lack of effort, but rather that their methodology is fundamentally flawed, like stumbling around in the dark.

The current market is once again at a sensitive time window, and the trend is indeed worth paying attention to. Keep a good rhythm, and opportunities lie within the fluctuations.
