#数字资产市场动态 After entering the crypto space, many beginners are initially attracted by tempting words like 'get rich quickly and double your investment,' which distracts them from the right direction. Contract trading is especially like this—appearing to be taking a shortcut, but actually serving as a filtering mechanism to weed out traders who are easily swayed by emotions.
Behind a single-day increase of 32.73%, there are often stories of accounts being wiped out by greed.
What truly tests this market is not how many times you win, but whether you can always stay at the table. My ability to hold on until now has never been due to some divine operation, but because I adhere to a few old-fashioned but truly life-saving principles.
**First: Never let yourself have nowhere to retreat**
Betting all-in all the time, in plain terms, is leaving the life and death of your account in the hands of the market. If the market makes a slight adjustment, you could be out immediately.
The purpose of position management is not to earn more, but to leave room for mistakes. Traders who can make several mistakes in a row and still survive are the ones worthy of waiting for the real big trend.
**Second: Don’t fight the trend, learn to go with the flow**
Many people are keen on bottom fishing and precisely guessing the top, which sounds clever but is actually the easiest way to get harvested. When the market is not yet clear, the market always stands on the right side.
The trend is there, just follow it patiently. A decline can become a good opportunity to get in; until the trend reverses, don’t think about rushing out early.
**Third: Before acting, think through the worst-case scenario**
Making money is not a skill; protecting profits is the real skill. Not setting stop-loss or take-profit levels essentially leaves your account in the hands of Lady Luck.
Before each trade, calmly ask yourself how much loss you can bear. Only proceed once you’ve accepted it. Long-term, this will naturally improve your account’s stability.
**Fourth: Learn the advanced skill of 'doing nothing'**
The biggest mistake beginners often make is not misunderstanding the market but being unable to stop their fingers from moving. Trading is not a live broadcast; there’s no need to operate frequently just to prove your existence. Sometimes, holding cash or coins is the smartest choice.
Reduce operations and only seize opportunities with real chances of winning; this will actually increase your overall success rate.
Ultimately, in the crypto market, it’s never about who has the bigger guts, but who is calmer and more patient.
Avoid full leverage gambling, trading against the trend, slackening risk controls, and over-trading—those who can stay stable are the ones truly qualified to discuss the opportunities of the next wave.

That's quite true, but 99% of people will still go all-in after reading. Self-discipline is really more valuable than skills.

It's the same old story, I've heard it a hundred times, yet there are still people who keep going all-in with their full positions.
No matter how eloquently you put it, the fact remains that this market is always harvesting new retail investors, no matter how strict your risk control is.

Are there still people who went all-in and bet everything? Haha...
---
That's so true, can't stop clicking my fingers, it's really a sickness that needs treatment.
---
I just want to ask, if only I had known these four iron rules earlier, how much money would I have lost before I understood?
---
I've heard the phrase "go with the trend" a hundred times, but I still can't break the habit of going against the trend, it's really despairing.
---
Being able to stay alive steadily is much harder than making money, that's the real truth.
---
Guessing the bottom accurately and predicting the top... I'm just this kind of big fool who gets harvested, lessons learned the hard way.
---
Holding cash in a vacant position is the hardest, feeling bored, brother.
---
Position management is indeed the only way to survive, otherwise your account will blow up sooner or later.
---
The analogy of luck goddess is perfect; those who entrust their accounts to luck end up dying miserably.
---
The worst thing is making a small profit, then expanding and losing everything in one shot—this cycle is too terrifying.
---
Calmness and patience are more valuable than anything, but unfortunately most people don't have them.

Really, where are those people who went all-in with their entire position now? Their accounts must have been liquidated long ago, haha.

Damn, this is the real talk. How many people are still alive after going all-in with full position?
---
That's right, the inability to stop clicking your fingers is indeed deadly.
---
Going with the trend is definitely more satisfying than bottom-fishing. I used to operate in the opposite way, no wonder I got cut.
---
I've heard many such suggestions, but I'm just worried that I'll get itchy again when it comes to execution.
---
It's really not easy to hold on until now. Most people can't withstand that big market move and end up out.
---
Stop-loss is easy to talk about, but actually biting the bullet and executing it is the real skill.
---
This last sentence is spot on: only by surviving can you qualify to play the next round.

After all these years, it's actually just one sentence: living is more important than making money. I've seen too many brothers go all-in and disappear after a market surge.

That's right, I used to be itchy too, and now I understand that living truly is the most important thing.
