Many people enter the crypto market with the idea of getting rich overnight, but the result often ends up being the fastest way to lose money. Some come in with hundreds of thousands of yuan and lose everything in three months; others start with small funds and, through discipline, become one of the few winners.

Instead of chasing "divine predictions," it’s better to stick to a strict rule— the 50% position management strategy. This method has been tested in the market, with monthly returns consistently around 45% in the long run, and the key lies in one word: **discipline**.

Volatility is normal in the crypto market. A sharp rise today and a 50% drop tomorrow are not surprising. But whether your account can survive and whether you can gradually climb during fluctuations depends on whether you can control your impulses. Many people lose money because they miss the rhythm.

**How to implement this method? The core logic is simple:**

First, lock in risk within a cage. Divide your principal evenly into 5 parts, and only use one part each time you enter the market. This means you are always only risking one-fifth of your funds in any trade. The benefit of this approach is that even if a single loss is large, it won’t damage your core capital, and you can maintain your mindset.

Second, the stop-loss and take-profit ratios must be tightly controlled. Don’t be soft-hearted, and don’t be greedy. Set a strict rule: limit your stop-loss to about 8%—meaning if you judge incorrectly, you only lose at most 8% on that trade, then exit immediately. Even if you lose several times in a row, your overall account can still hold up.

The last point is especially important: **"Survive first, then talk about making money."** In the crypto world, the top priority is never "how much to earn," but "not to lose everything." Going all-in or chasing every rise and fall often causes your mindset to collapse during market fluctuations. A disciplined, steady strategy may not yield the highest single-trade profit, but it allows you to survive longer in the market— and in the long run, those who survive the longest tend to earn the most.
