Newcomers entering the crypto market are often dazzled by the words "quick double" (快速翻倍). Especially in contract trading, it looks like a fast track to wealth, but in reality, it’s a filter—emotional traders are eliminated one after another.

To survive in this market, the key isn’t how many times you win, but whether you get completely knocked out. My success so far isn’t due to some divine operation, but because I stick to a few rules that may seem "rustic" but have truly saved my life.

**First, don’t leave yourself with no way out.**
Going all-in at any moment means handing over the power of life and death of your account to the market. Any sudden dip can wipe out your entire position. Reasonable position sizing isn’t about making more money, but about giving yourself room to make mistakes. Being able to keep going after mistakes is the real capital to wait for the next opportunity.

**Second, don’t go against the trend.**
Some people love to catch the bottom perfectly or sell at the top flawlessly, thinking they’re smart, but they’re actually most vulnerable to being looted. Before the market trend is confirmed, following the trend is always the safest choice. When the trend exists, follow it; a dip can be a good entry point. If the trend isn’t broken, don’t rush to exit.

**Third, plan for the worst-case scenario in advance.**
Making money isn’t hard; protecting your capital is the real skill. Not cutting losses or taking profits is essentially gambling on luck. Before each trade, think clearly about the maximum loss you can tolerate, and only place the order once you’re sure you can handle it. Long-term, this approach prevents your account from crashing.

**Fourth, learn to do nothing sometimes.**
The biggest mistake beginners make isn’t misunderstanding the market, but having itchy fingers. Trading isn’t about seeking validation; sometimes holding cash is the smartest decision. Fewer trades, only taking high-confidence setups, will actually improve your win rate.

In short, the crypto world isn’t about who has the biggest guts, but who can stay calm and patient. Not fulling your position, not fighting the trend, controlling risks, and slow operations—those who can stay steady like this truly have the qualification to wait for the next market cycle.
