There are again liquidations in the group—using 20x leverage with 8,000 yuan, and it all vanishes in ten minutes. This kind of scene has almost become daily life in the crypto world—everyone thinks they are a genius, but in the end, they all become fuel for the market.

Honestly, I’ve also taken these wrong turns. From frequent liquidations to stable profits later, I’ve figured out a set of survival rules, and I’m going to share them straightforwardly with everyone today.

**Rule 1: Don’t touch what you don’t understand**
Perpetual contracts are not an ATM; they are essentially a meat grinder. Once leverage exceeds 5x, you are gambling with your life. Even more painfully, trading without stop-losses is like driving without a seatbelt—accidents are only a matter of time. Too many have fallen here.

**Rule 2: Only make money you understand**
Don’t gamble blindly during market volatility; that’s not trading, that’s gambling. Wait until the trend is clear before entering. As for those super-profitable opportunities beyond your knowledge? No matter how tempting, swallow your pride. Steady profits within your ability are the long-term strategy.

**Rule 3: Manage your position like a goalkeeper**
Never risk more than 50% of your total funds. Be meticulous when building positions—start with 30% for trial and error, add another 40% once the trend is confirmed, and keep 30% reserved for sudden changes. When the market is unpredictable, the smartest choice is to stay out and watch, away from the noise.

**Rule 4: Hold onto BTC and ETH**
Altcoins’ surges are indeed tempting, but a sudden crash can wipe out all your gains from the past half month. Mainstream coins may not be as volatile, but they are much more resilient. How long you survive in the crypto world depends on whether you can hold onto this bottom line.

This set of methods helped me crawl out of the quagmire of repeated liquidations and finally achieve stable profits. I wouldn’t say it’s brilliant, but it’s the dumb way that can truly help you survive in the crypto world.

Next time an opportunity comes, I hope you can sit steadily in the car and enjoy the gains, rather than standing still and watching others take off.
