People often ask me a question: Is there a foolproof way to make money without losing?

Honestly, there is no such thing. But you can reduce losses and accumulate profits through discipline and rules, allowing you to progress steadily. In simple terms, it boils down to eight words: take profits and cut losses.

**First, let's talk about taking profits**

Don't always try to sell at the highest point—that's simply unrealistic. Take some profits when you gain 10%, then reduce your position at 20%, keep half at 30%, and consider closing out at 40%. The mindset of "waiting a bit longer" is unrealistic because the market won't give you the absolute top price.

Set clear small goals. For example, if you invest 10,000 USDT, take 1,000 USDT into your pocket when you reach that profit. You can't win all the money in the market, but protecting your share of profits is entirely possible. A truly mature trader knows when to stop. Turning the numbers on your screen into real cash is a skill in itself.

Don't panic if you miss a wave of market movement; there are plenty of opportunities. The real danger is greed, which makes you give back all your gains.

**Next, let's look at stop-loss**

For long-term promising directions (like AI or on-chain infrastructure), buy more in stages during significant pullbacks, and stay on the sidelines during minor adjustments. For positions you’re not confident in, reduce costs through T+0 trading and avoid holding on stubbornly.

The purpose of a stop-loss isn't to "cut your losses," but to readjust your position and protect your capital. Often, when your mindset is disturbed, even the best strategies can go awry.

**The most crucial point**

Take profits in stages; small victories accumulate into big wins. If you're caught in a position, don't panic—ask yourself if it's still worth holding. The true wisdom in investing isn't about how accurately you can predict, but how steadily you can execute. Those who can survive longer are ultimately the winners.
