Remember this: losing money in the crypto world is uncomfortable, but liquidation is the real killer. Especially for newcomers who just entered the market with limited capital, as soon as you dare to go all-in, the market will immediately teach you a lesson.

I've seen too many fans enter the battlefield full of hope, throwing in thousands of dollars, thinking that everywhere is gold and you can just bend down to pick it up. And then? Watching K-line charts every day, listening to various analyses, chasing hot trends, thinking you understand the market, and going all-in without hesitation. In three days, the account shrinks by half; in five days, liquidation occurs; in seven days, you leave the circle in disappointment, becoming fuel for the market.

I’ve also fallen into this trap myself. In the early days, I only had 20,000 USDT, and that confidence was off the charts—buy in and it’s bound to go up, that’s common sense. But what happened? Buying at high prices, panic selling, repeatedly adding to positions—an absolute textbook case of a rookie, with the account almost left with nothing.

Later, I calmed down and summarized three "funds survival rules," which helped me slowly crawl out of the mud. In four months, I steadily grew to 100,000 USDT, and during this period, I never once got liquidated.

**Rule 1: Never risk more than half your position.**

No matter how tempting the opportunity, don’t go all-in. The crypto market is never short of opportunities; what’s lacking is the capital to see the next wave. Always remember: keep some bullets in the chamber so you’re ready for another round. When the market confirms a trend, add to your position gradually; if the market looks wrong, withdraw immediately.

**Rule 2: Strictly enforce stop-loss and take-profit.**

When losing, don’t be soft and avoid stopping out; when making money, don’t be greedy and avoid taking profits. The most common mistake beginners make is unwilling to sell their holdings, always dreaming of “a little more rise.” But mainstream coins like Solana, Ethereum, and Bitcoin can wipe out your profits with just one correction. Set your stop-loss and take-profit levels in advance—this isn’t conservatism; it’s the standard for professional traders.

**Rule 3: Stay away from coins you don’t understand.**

What’s hyped in groups, promoted by big influencers, or recommended in short videos is nine times out of ten a trap. Instead of listening to others, ask yourself if you understand the project. If you don’t grasp the business logic, technical direction, or application scenarios, how can you go all-in? Better to miss the opportunity than blindly follow the trend.

Stay calm when the market starts, learn to wait during sideways movements. Only by protecting your initial 10,000 U can you have a chance to earn 100,000 U; only by sticking to discipline will the market give you a way out.

Too many people chase quick money in this circle; very few can truly stay steady. To survive long in the crypto world, don’t dream of getting rich overnight—first, protect your capital. Opportunities won’t run away, markets won’t disappear; as long as you don’t get liquidated, everything is still possible. These three safety rules are the fundamental logic that turns beginners into steady traders.
