#数字货币市场回升 In the crypto market over the years, I have discovered a cruel truth: those who have turned from huge losses to success have never relied on innate talent or sheer luck, but rather on ingraining a few strict rules into their very being.

This method is incredibly clumsy, but it works.

**First, let's talk about survival**

I have seen too many people with a principal of 100,000 rushing in with all their funds, only to get liquidated in three days and return to square one. My approach is very simple — I only use 10% of my principal each time, and at most no more than 20%. For example, with 100,000, I would invest 10,000 to 20,000 at a time, while the remaining money stays in the account and rests.

As for the stop-loss line? Stick to 2% firmly. If you lose 2000, withdraw immediately, there is no room for negotiation. Many people think "maybe it will bounce back if I wait a little longer," this mindset has caused more harm than the market itself.

Leverage is something that beginners should best pretend doesn't exist. Even for seasoned players, I suggest keeping your position size below 10%. Doing this can directly reduce your liquidation risk by 80%, and I'm not trying to scare you.

**Then how to make a move**

The people who make money in the market are often not those who trade the most, but rather those who "do it right" the most.

I have seen people place more than ten orders in a day, and as a result, the fees eat up half of the profits, and the rest is consumed in back-and-forth stop losses. My method is very rigid: a maximum of two trades a day, and if it exceeds this number, I take a forced break. Why? Because the win rate is highest in the first two trades of the day, human judgment and execution are on point, and the more you trade afterward, the easier it is to get carried away.

There is also an iron rule - only take one side. Either only go long or only go short, don't get caught on both ends. Many people think that hedging can reduce risk, but in reality, it's like hitting your left hand with your right hand, and in the end, both sides lose. Focusing on one direction can increase the win rate by more than half.

Stop loss and take profit must be predetermined: 3% stop loss, 5% take profit. Leave when the point is reached, without any emotions. This mechanical execution is more effective than any technical analysis.

**The easiest pitfalls to fall into**

Counter-trend averaging down is the biggest pitfall. When the price of the coin drops by 5%, you think it's cheaper and add another position, but it continues to fall, and the risk of liquidation triples directly. This operation seems to be "averaging down costs", but in reality, it is accelerating death.

High-frequency trading is the second biggest pitfall. Entering and exiting dozens of times a day can eat up 30%-50% of profits in fees, and frequent trading can drive people to lose their sanity, making things increasingly chaotic.

The third pitfall is the deadliest - floating profits turn into losses while still holding the position. 99% of liquidations happen because of "let's wait a bit more." Clearly, there were profits, but without setting a take-profit line, the market reverses and all the gains are given back, and even lead to a loss.

**It becomes clear after doing the math**

With the same capital of 100,000, two ways to play:

Wrong version: Full position with 10x leverage, if it drops by 5%, it will be replenished, but in the end, it can't hold on and gets liquidated, principal goes to zero.

Correct version: Base position 20,000, strict 3% stop loss, 5% take profit, only two high-certainty trades per week. Monthly return 8%, compounded over a year can reach 151%, principal doubles and a half.

The key is not how much you earn each time, but whether you can keep on living.

**Summary in three sentences**

Use spare money, stick to the rules, and take one-sided positions — only by doing these three can you qualify to talk about making money.

Don't go all in, don't hold a single position, and don't get caught on both sides—if you violate any of these three rules, you will eventually face liquidation.

Contract trading is not a casino. Those who want to gamble a year's living expenses for three years of profit will ultimately become stepping stones for the market. Only those who use spare money, follow the rules, and survive are worthy of discussing the four words "financial freedom."

Overnight wealth is a fairy tale; iron discipline is the reality.
