Many people ask me why I have never been liquidated. To be honest, it's not luck, but rather sticking to a few rules. I have seen too many accounts vanish overnight, all because they didn't understand how to survive. In the crypto world, to stay alive, one must first learn to diversify risks.

**The First Tip: Diversify your portfolio, let every penny serve its purpose**

A fan initially had only 600U, and my advice to him was not to go all in at once. Split it into three parts, with each part being 200U, and try different strategies:

For intraday short-term trading, focus on just one opportunity each day, take profits quickly, and never be greedy. For swing trading, you only act once every ten days to half a month, but when you do, aim for significant market movements. For the base position, no matter how much it drops, don't touch it—this is the final lifeline.

Why do this? Because if you have nothing left, what’s there to talk about turning things around? This fan later turned that 600 into 30,000, precisely because he adhered to this principle.

**Second move: Wait, don't pay transaction fees during garbage time**

In the crypto world, 80% of the time is actually spent in a sideways market. Frequent trading in such market conditions is just giving money to the exchange. My approach is very simple: if there is no clear trend, I hold my position; once a trend is established, I strike hard.

When profits exceed 20%, I first withdraw 30% of the profits and put them in my pocket. The money in hand is the real money; the profits on paper can return to zero in an instant. True experts do not trade frequently in a year, but every trade is enough to last half a year.

**Tip 3: Use Cold Rules to Defeat Hot Emotions**

Retail investors are most likely to fail when they are emotionally hijacked. You must set a mechanical set of rules for yourself, and there should be no compromise in execution:

Cut losses at 2% without even blinking. Reduce positions to lock in profits at 4%, don't be greedy and think about selling at the peak—that's simply impossible. Don't add to your positions when you're at a loss; trying to average down will only dig the hole deeper.

The underlying logic of making money is to allow funds to grow automatically within the framework of rules, rather than being driven by greed and fear. From 600U to 20000U, the secret is simple: lock in the risk and let the profit run by itself.
