#特朗普数字资产政策新方向 After being in the crypto market for so long, I’ve noticed a pattern: the ones who really make money are often not the most aggressive players.



I’ve seen too many newcomers rush in and start trading perpetual contracts, thinking this is the fast lane to financial freedom. What happens? Emotional trading, all-in bets without thinking, chasing pumps and panicking during dumps—their account balance just keeps heading south. The market doesn’t give you opportunities just because you’re impatient. Instead, it finds all sorts of ways to teach you a lesson.

After years of mistakes and tuition fees, I’ve distilled four survival rules. They won’t guarantee you overnight riches, but they will help you gain a foothold in this market.

**Rule #1: Position management is your lifeline**

A lot of people go all-in as soon as they see an opportunity, thinking it’s bold. Wrong—it’s suicidal.
If the market pulls back even a little, you get liquidated and lose your spot at the table. Always remember: keeping bullets in reserve is more important than firing them all at once. A single mistake isn’t scary—what’s scary is not getting another chance. Only those who control their position sizes can laugh last in this market.

**Rule #2: Follow the trend, don’t fight the market**

Human instinct is to catch the bottom or top—buy when it drops, fear chasing when it rises. But the truth is: the people who make money are always those who go with the trend.
A pullback in an uptrend? That’s your boarding opportunity. As long as the trend isn’t broken, hold onto your chips and don’t try to guess when the top is in. The continuation of a trend is always more reliable than your predictions.

**Rule #3: Take profits and cut losses—these are your safety nets, not suggestions**

No matter how much paper profit you have, it’s all just numbers until it’s locked in.
Trading without stop-losses or take-profits is like driving without a seatbelt—it’s only a matter of time before something goes wrong.
Remember these three numbers:
Don’t let a single loss exceed 5% of your total funds;
Aim for more than 5% profit on each trade;
Keep your win rate above 50%.
If you do these three things, your equity curve will naturally trend upwards.

**Rule #4: Doing less is what makes a pro**

The most common rookie mistake: being too diligent.
Opening five or six trades a day, dozens of trades a month—the more you trade, the more you lose. Why? Because the essence of trading is waiting, not playing whack-a-mole.
Set a rule for yourself: no more than 2 or 3 high-conviction trades per day. The rest of the time? Go do something else. The market isn’t going anywhere; there will always be opportunities. But if your capital is gone, it’s really gone.

At the end of the day, the crypto market isn’t about who’s the most aggressive—it’s about who’s the steadiest, who can wait, and who can survive the longest.
Control your position sizes, follow the trend, enforce strict risk management, and avoid overtrading—these four rules look simple, but those who actually follow them have already outperformed 90% of participants.

Honestly, take my advice—don’t mess with this one. I learned it the hard way. Five or six trades a day can make you lose so much you start questioning your life.

Damn, these four are really incredible. I'm exactly the kind of fool who opens five or six trades a day and gets rekt so badly I start doubting my life.

You’re absolutely right. Those who went all-in are wiped out, and the ones still standing are all managing their positions.

Oh my gosh, that's so true. What happened to those who went all in with their entire portfolio?

Sounds nice, but the on-chain data tells me a different story... For those who actually made money, no matter how strict their position management is, they still can't withstand the dumping pace of the whales. Your 5% stop loss can't even react in time.

Wake up, trading less really is the secret. Damn, I made five or six trades in a single day and lost big time.

Where are all those people who used to go all in with full leverage? Could you please step forward and share your experiences?

Where are all those people who went all-in now? Haha, they've already been forced back to real life.
