My name is Brother Chen, and I've been navigating the crypto world for nearly ten years. From trading with a few thousand yuan to reaching a million, then experiencing a sudden liquidation, and finally rebuilding with 200,000 yuan of capital to stabilize. Today, I want to share something earned through real money—7 survival rules, each one summarized from my experiences of liquidation and pitfalls. If you can understand and follow them, I guarantee you'll avoid at least three years of detours.

**Rule 1: How you manage your money is more important than which coin you buy**

I've seen too many people go all-in right from the start, only to lay flat when the market moves against them. People like that won't last three years. Money management is the bottom line for survival; there's no room for negotiation. My method is simple: divide your total funds into five parts, and only use one part at a time. For example, if you have 100,000 yuan, only use up to 20,000 yuan per trade. Also, set your stop-loss points in advance—if you lose 10%, close the position immediately, no second thoughts. This way, even if you make five wrong moves, your account only loses 50%. But as soon as one move is right, your profits can double and start running.

I call this the "Five Portions Meal Principle"—eat only one portion per meal, neither greedy nor starving. Always keep some "life-saving money" in your account, ready to buy the dip during extreme market conditions.

**Rule 2: Follow the trend, don’t go against it**

The dumbest move in crypto is trying to buy the dip during a downtrend. The rebounds in a falling trend are mostly false signals—eight out of ten are traps, and the more violent the rise, the more vicious the sell-off. Conversely, corrections within an uptrend are genuine opportunities. How to judge the trend? Look at the moving averages. When the short-term moving average breaks the long-term moving average, the trend has reversed. You don’t need advanced technical analysis—it's obvious with your eyes.

My habit is: if the market is falling but then rises, I just watch and don’t jump in. Only when the trend truly reverses and a correction appears in an uptrend do I take action. This way, you never get caught at the top or shaken out at the bottom. Safety always comes before profit.
