#Strategy加码BTC配置 At 2:00 AM, another fan's message hit a nerve: "We're heading in the same direction, how come you can make 42%, and I lost 28%?"



To put it simply, it's one word—discipline.

In six years, I experienced three margin calls, losing all 220,000 yuan. Those days could drive anyone crazy. But it was precisely these lessons that helped me develop a "profit snowball" strategy. Today, I’ll break it down for you:

**Tip 1: Principal is the Bottom Line**
Only risk 4% of the principal per trade, with a stop-loss firmly set at 0.8%. No clear signal means staying out of the market. Sounds conservative? But it beats 80% of traders.

**Tip 2: Divide Profits in Half**
When you gain 50%, split the profits into two parts—half lock into a cold wallet, half continue to trade aggressively. Use profits only to add positions, so losses never hurt the principal.

**Tip 3: Protect Floating Gains Exceeding Principal**
When floating profits reach 10% of the initial principal, activate hedging mode. Stop-loss can be extended to 50%. You can handle the pullback, and profits can compound.

**Tip 4: 3-Minute Life or Death Decision**
Go all-in on the breakout with increased volume; if it hits a support level with reduced volume, close the position immediately. No hesitation—being decisive is the most valuable.

**Tip 5: Lock Half During Drawdowns**
Let profits run, but freeze part of the gains to curb greed.

**Tip 6: Daily Settlement**
Close and take profits at the end of each day, leaving only the principal plus 10% of active funds in the account. Prevent yourself from overleveraging in the heat of the moment.

Market opportunities never lack; what’s missing is execution. Use profits to fight, let the principal sleep—this is the way to leave the market with a smile.

Discipline sounds nice in theory, but in practice, it's really deadly... I've died a few times because of greed.

Talking about discipline is useless; the key is actually being able to resist adding to your position. That's the real challenge.

That was too harsh. I am the one who is in the same direction but lost 28%, haha. I can only smile bitterly. It seems I need to delete greed from my account.

Discipline is easy to talk about but hard to practice; very few people can truly stick to a 4% trial.

Sounds right, but how many can actually stick to the 4% trial? Most people see a rebound and impulsively add to their positions.

It's 2 a.m. again with some motivational quotes. I bet five dollars that the next line will be "The market never lacks opportunities, what it lacks is execution"... Got it right, haha.

Honestly, the 4% trial order system is really tough. You need to have such strong mental resilience to endure it.

Discipline is indeed a threshold; most people fail due to greed. I also use the 4% trial entry + 0.8% stop-loss combination, but the prerequisite is that it must be executed properly... It's easy to say, but hard to do.
