I've been in the crypto world for almost six years, and I've seen too many people make quick money only to drop to zero. To be honest, when I first got on board, I only had 2600U, but now my account numbers have increased by several zeros, and I've made over a thousand in profits in the first five months of this year. I've settled in Shanghai, and my hometown still has a villa on hold, my time is relatively free, and my money is steadily increasing.

The biggest lesson I've learned over the years can be summed up in one sentence: the real tough ones in the crypto world are not those who charge in the hardest, but those who can stay steady and endure.

A while ago, I met a friend who started with a principal of 50,000 and in the first wave of the market, managed to reach 200,000 in three weeks, then in another two months, hit the million level. The entire process involved only 6 trades, with 2 trades contributing to 80% of the profits. This circle doesn't rely on luck, but on a set of "dumb methods" that can be executed repeatedly; if used correctly, it can ensure profits for many years. Today, I'm going to share the secrets I've kept, which can help get rid of 90% of retail investors.

**Why are contracts prone to liquidation? The truth is just these few points:**

**High leverage is a trap**
What beginners love to do the most is to dream of "doubling in one go", casually mentioning 50x or 100x leverage. What’s the result? The market fluctuates by 1% or 2%, and the account drops to zero directly. Leverage is a double-edged sword; you can earn quickly when you’re winning, but it can also vanish in the blink of an eye when you’re losing. With 10x leverage, a 10% price jump can wipe it out; with 50x, a 2% fluctuation can make your money disappear.

**Hold on without cutting losses, the end will be the worst**
This is the most common trap - thinking to yourself "just wait a bit longer, it will definitely rebound," but it keeps dropping harder. You can't bear to cut losses after losing half, and only start regretting when you lose everything. In fact, setting a stop-loss is not about lacking courage, but giving yourself a chance to survive.

**All in, none out**
Seeing an opportunity and going All in, this mindset can exhaust any amount of principal. With no way back and no buffer, just one wrong judgment can lead to complete failure.
