In trading and asset management, the logic of making money is often misunderstood. You don't need to win more often than you lose. The win rate can even be lower. The key is how to handle those inevitable losses—keeping them within an acceptable range so they don't severely damage the account. At the same time, when you win, you should fully realize the gains. This way, even if the overall win-loss ratio isn't ideal, by controlling risk and amplifying returns, the account will still grow steadily over the long term. Simply put, it's not about winning more, but losing less and earning more.

The core is to cut losses and hold profitable positions—that's the key to survival.

Losing less to earn more sounds simple, but actually doing it is really difficult. Most people are still there chasing win rates.

Losing less and earning more sounds simple, but actually doing it is really difficult. Most people are still chasing win rates. --- The art of stop-loss is more testing of human nature than choosing coins. --- That's why I always say risk management is a hundred times more important than prediction ability. --- That's correct, but very few people can actually execute it. Most of the time, people are gambling on a turnaround. --- If you control losses well, even with a 30% win rate, you can still profit... as long as you can stick to it. --- The key phrase "inevitable losses"—accept your fate. It's not about avoiding losses but managing them. --- This is the essence of the Kelly criterion, but unfortunately, most people haven't even calculated their own risk tolerance. --- It looks easy, but every time you implement a stop-loss, it feels like cutting flesh. Human greed is the biggest enemy. --- Money management is always the top priority, a hundred times more reliable than technical analysis.

Really, I deeply understand this point. A low win rate can still lead to easy wins; the key is to cut losses and let profits run.

In plain terms, surviving is the most important; most people die before hitting their stop-loss.

Even with a low win rate, you can get rich quickly; the key is to cut losses ruthlessly and let profits run. This is the right way.

Data shows that even with a low win rate, survival is possible; the key is loss control... Although, most people can't do it, miners collapse due to paying too much gas fees.

Losing less and earning more—that's the true way. How many people have been deceived by the illusion of high win rates?

This is the truth I realized after being wiped out by impermanent loss in liquidity mining: low win rate and high odds are the real secret to longevity.

Laughing and then crying, it turns out making money doesn't rely on win rate but on stop-loss. My three years of "innovative trading method" was all in vain.
