The December 2025 Non-Farm Employment Report will be released at 21:30 Beijing time on January 9th. The data on new jobs, unemployment rate, and average hourly earnings will directly affect market sentiment and are particularly likely to trigger market volatility. Many people enter the market at this critical moment and end up getting wiped out. The real issue is a lack of bottom-line awareness.

Should you participate in this wave of market movement? Yes, but you must follow five iron rules. First is capital planning—only use idle funds, never touch liquid assets, and keep each position no more than 5% of total assets. Second is coin selection criteria—stick to leading coins like BTC and ETH; the risk with small-cap coins is ridiculously high.

For leverage, spot trading is the best choice. If you insist on trading futures, keep leverage capped at 3x. If you lose twice in a row, stop immediately. This isn’t cowardice; it’s wisdom to stay alive and exit. In risk control, preset stop-loss and take-profit points—10% to 15% is reasonable. Execute these levels when reached; don’t fantasize about a market rebound. Lastly, avoid illegal platforms and projects from unknown sources. Keep your private keys secure—these are the real assets that can protect you.

It's time to cut the leeks again. Let's see who still dares to go all in. --- This wave of non-farm payrolls, the big brothers all want to buy the dip, but they really can't hold on. --- 3x leverage? I think even 2x has to run away, what's the point? --- That's very true but no one listens. By this time next week, it'll be a scene of wailing. --- BTC and ETH are still the most stable choices. I wouldn't even touch that pile of trash among small coins. --- Stop-loss and take-profit are too idealistic. When the market moves, everyone forgets everything. --- The key is, do you really have spare money? Who has extra cash? --- Every time they say they will stick to discipline, but as soon as there's volatility, they forget everything. Human weakness. --- 5% is still too aggressive. I prefer to be a bit more conservative. --- That last sentence really hit the mark. Keeping your private keys safe is the real security.

Ha, it's another non-farm bloodbath. Someone never learns their lesson each time. Honestly, I support the 3x leverage cap. Too many people get greedy and lose everything once they overreach. A 10%-15% stop loss is real; the hardest part is actually executing it. BTC and ETH are stable. Small coins? Forget it, the risk is just unmanageable. The 5% single trade rule is actually the hardest to follow. Human greed at its best. Staying alive is more important than anything else. That really hits home.

Oh no, it's non-farm payroll time again, time to cut the leeks. Just play spot trading honestly. --- I remember the 5% ratio, but honestly, how many can actually execute it? --- Losing twice in a row means you have to stop. It's easy to say, but when you're losing money, who doesn't want to turn it around? --- BTC and ETH are fine, but don't touch small coins, really. --- That's right, discipline is key. The biggest fear for a gambler is having no bottom line. --- Stop-loss and take-profit should be set in advance, otherwise emotions will throw everything into chaos. --- Stay away from illegal trading platforms. Losing money is small, getting scammed is a big deal. --- Only invest spare money; otherwise, you'll be completely out after one wave of cutting. --- 3x leverage is enough; anything more is just asking for death.

Honestly, data at the non-farm level is just an opportunity for retail investors to make money. The key is to survive and see the market rebound. 3x leverage is really the critical point; going higher is just gambling with your life. BTC and ETH are more stable. I've seen too many people have their dreams of turning around shattered by small altcoins. Nine out of ten people lose money when rushing in, and the remaining one doesn't make much either. Don't ask me how I know. I'm really impressed with stop-losses. Most people set them but don't actually implement them, because they can't get past the psychological barrier. Keeping your private keys secure is more important than anything else. If the platform runs away, you lose everything. Instead of thinking about getting rich overnight, it's better to think about how to survive until the next cycle.

It's another non-farm market. Can I really make it out alive this time? I think it's a close call. --- I agree with the 5% position size. Last time, I went all-in and went bankrupt directly. --- A 3x contract cap is a bit conservative. I usually play around with 1.5x. --- The most important thing is to stick to stop-losses properly; otherwise, all plans are useless. --- Many people have fallen into traps with illegal platforms. Managing private keys is truly a matter of life and death. --- BTC and ETH are safe, but I'm still a bit cautious about this wave of market movement. --- Losing twice in a row—easy to say, hard to do. My mindset is collapsing.
