#数字资产生态回暖 From 3000U to eight figures, I survived in the crypto world using 5 ironclad trading rules
To be honest, this is not just hype.
Six years ago, I came in with 3000U, knowing little about leverage, and was dazzled by the K-line charts. Today, my account holds eight figures—this result wasn’t achieved by luck, but by thoroughly understanding survival rules after being repeatedly taught harsh lessons by the market.
At my most reckless, I used 1000U as a testing ground, investing only 100U each time to trade 100x contracts. How crazy is this leverage? If the market goes up 1%, your account doubles; if it drops 1%, it’s gone overnight—nothing extraordinary. During that period, I learned these 5 life-saving rules from the vicious cycle of wiping out my account, borrowing money to recover, and爆仓 (liquidation) again and again.
**Rule 1: Cut immediately when the stop-loss line is hit**
In the beginning, I blew up twice, each time holding on in hopes of a rebound to recover. What happened? The longer I held, the bigger the loss. I later realized—once the trend is confirmed to reverse, holding on is a death gamble. My current rule is simple: once the stop-loss triggers, no matter how reluctant, sell immediately. Survival comes first; those who fight the market end up dead.
**Rule 2: Close the software after 5 consecutive losses**
When the market turns chaotic, I used to keep falling into trap after trap. I would keep opening positions to try to correct mistakes, but the more I operated, the more I lost. Now I set a strict rule: after 5 consecutive losses, shut down the trading app and check again the next day. Experience shows that the losses from the previous day usually dissipate by the next, saving me half the damage.
**Rule 3: Take out half once you reach your target profit**
All the numbers on the screen are virtual. The crypto world changes faster than flipping a book. My habit is: once I hit my target profit, withdraw 50% to my wallet or bank card—cash in hand is real gold. The remaining position is for growth. Many people get wiped out during the last wave of correction because they refuse to cash out profits.
**Rule 4: Use leverage only during trending markets, lie flat during sideways**
When there’s a clear trend, 100x leverage can lift you to the sky. But during consolidation, high leverage becomes a knife for harvesting leek (retail traders). My simple judgment: participate when the trend is clear; stay out when the direction is uncertain; don’t recklessly operate—otherwise, you’re just giving money to the market for free.
**Rule 5: Never risk more than 10% of your account in a single position**
Going all-in sounds exciting but is actually playing with your life. I insist on a small position strategy; even with violent market swings, I can withstand them. It’s like piling 10 plates at a buffet—eventually, overeating leads to regret. With lighter positions, you have room to manage risk.
From consecutive爆仓 to steady growth today, these 5 rules are not just theories—they’re lessons learned the hard way, with real money. The lure of quick money in crypto is tempting, but those who survive long-term know it’s never about overnight riches, but about these seemingly boring risk management principles.
Want to turn things around in this market? The first step is to accept these iron rules.

Laughing to death, this is the crypto version of "My Struggle," with the main characters replaced by stop-loss orders and margin call dreams.
All of us who go all-in with full positions have ended up in ICU, while this guy survived as a legend by trading with small positions.
Losing 5 consecutive trades and then closing the software? I lost 15 in a row and was still praying for a rebound. Why is the gap so huge?

Stop loss is just that—stop loss. Why bother arguing? Staying alive is the real key.
I've been using the software for the 连亏5单关 (Loss of 5 trades in a row) feature for a long time, which has helped avoid many unnecessary lock-ups. It's truly based on experience.
I also stick to the 10% position management strategy. Not being greedy actually helps me make profits more steadily.

That's a good point, but I'm worried that those who listen might just repeat the mistakes we've made before.

To be honest, the fifth point is truly a lifesaver; the other four have been heard so many times... Relying solely on a 10% position can't possibly earn an eight-figure amount, right?

Stop-loss is truly a life-and-death line. I've seen too many people die because of the phrase "hold on a bit longer and you'll break even."

Hi, I've also had a tough time with stop-loss before. Now I'm really afraid of shorting and don't dare to hold on.

The stop-loss part is true; I have offended the market several times before I understood.
The trick of losing 5 consecutive trades and closing the software is brilliant, saving me a lot of wasted money.
The numbers on the screen are indeed fake; I only sleep soundly after withdrawing half.
100x leverage is like giving away money in volatility; I’ve stepped into too many pits.
Only with small positions can you survive longer; I’ve tested this with my hard-earned money.
