Having navigated the crypto asset market for years, I have seen too many stories—some people doubling their money overnight, while others lose everything in a single night. I have also experienced painful lessons myself; at my worst, I doubted life. It was only later that I realized, surviving in this market is never about how advanced your analysis skills are, but about whether you can stay calm and maintain discipline.
Last year, I helped a fan start from zero with 1,200 USDT and eventually grow it to 50,000 USDT. My pride isn’t in the profit multiple, but in the fact that I achieved this with zero liquidation throughout the process. There’s no black magic behind it—just three survival rules I tested with real money.
**First Tip: Position Management — Staying Alive Is Key**
I’ve seen too many people go all-in and get wiped out immediately. When I first worked with this fan, the first thing I told him was to split his principal into three parts, each accounting for one-third.
The first part is for intraday trading—focusing on one opportunity, taking profits quickly, and not being sentimental. The second part is for medium-term swings—making moves every ten days or half a month, aiming for big trends. The third part is kept at the bottom as a last line of defense—avoiding it during big waves.
It sounds simple, but this diversified management approach can keep you alive long enough in a highly volatile market. If you’re dead, what’s there to turn around? Many people don’t take this seriously, but in the recent market reshuffle over the past two years, this system has been the foundation of my stable profits.
**Second Tip: Precise Sniping — Focus on Gains, Don’t Chomp on Bones**
80% of the market time is just sideways grinding—frequently trading amid noise, which is like giving away commissions to the platform. My approach boils down to two words: patience.
Only place bets when clear trend opportunities appear; otherwise, stay patient. The benefit of this is a high hit rate—each trade has a good chance, and the probability of losses naturally decreases. The biggest mistake beginners make is being impatient—seeing price movements and wanting to trade immediately, only to get chopped up.
**Third Tip: Psychological Defense — Stop-Loss Is Investment, Not Failure**
Setting a reasonable stop-loss isn’t weakness; it’s wisdom to protect your capital. The reason my fan was able to grow from 1,200 USDT to 50,000 USDT while maintaining zero liquidation is that he learned when to cut his losses.
Set a risk limit for each trade, and once the stop-loss is hit, execute unconditionally—don’t hope for a rebound. This discipline determines how long you can survive. Many people can’t bear to stop-loss, and a small loss eventually turns into a big disaster.
In the crypto market full of temptations and traps, winners are often not the boldest but the most disciplined. Technology advances, markets cycle, but maintaining rationality and discipline is the true moat.

That's correct, but the key is that most people simply can't follow through.

That's right, the group of people who used to go all-in have long disappeared.
I've also suffered losses in stop-loss before, and now I understand it slowly.
Position management is truly the prerequisite for survival; it's that simple without any black technology.
Discipline is more valuable than anything else, and that's how I do it now.
Actually, with a good mindset, the account will naturally last longer.

Ah... Basically, you can only make money by staying alive. Fancy technical analysis is much less reliable. The one hand I went all-in on back then still gives me nightmares. Now I only trust the concept of position sizing.

Basically, it's still a matter of mindset. Technology can be learned every day, but what's the use if you don't live until tomorrow?
