Having been in the crypto market for many years, I have seen too many people repeat the same mistakes.

What is the most common? Accounts gradually shrinking from tens of thousands to thousands, or even hundreds. They are often not wiped out in one blow, but repeatedly misjudge the rhythm, gradually worn down by the market like a frog in boiling water.

These people usually are not lacking in market analysis skills; what they lack is self-discipline. Once they make a wrong judgment on the trend, they start to hold onto their positions, gambling with heavy leverage, hoping for a market reversal to save themselves. The result? The more they hold, the less their capital becomes, and eventually they can only exit in disgrace.

I have seen someone come out of a difficult situation in three months, not because the market suddenly surged, but because they changed a set of deadly trading habits.

They began to follow a few ironclad rules: use no more than 30% of their funds for each trade, never risk all their chips; take profits immediately and secure gains, don’t dream of higher positions; if the judgment is wrong, exit immediately, don’t find reasons to justify oneself; for markets that are unclear, prefer to stay on the sidelines and wait.

The past two weeks have been tough because I used to trade every day, but now I spend a lot of time waiting. There can be a sense of disappointment psychologically. But if you persist, the results will show. After three months, the account begins to recover little by little. Although volatility still exists, it is now within a manageable range.

This is the real threshold of crypto trading.

Many beginners think the difficulty lies in technology—how to read K-lines, how to find entry points. In fact, the real challenge is whether you can stick to the same correct approach over the long term. The market is there every day; opportunities are never lacking. What truly creates the gap is not how high someone’s starting point is, but who can avoid making the same mistakes repeatedly.

Don’t over-leverage, don’t hold on stubbornly, don’t fantasize. It sounds ridiculously simple, but few people actually do it. That’s why those who stick to these three points often survive longer in the market. Even with limited initial capital, they can gradually carve out their own space for survival.
