Reborn after a million liquidation, I used 100,000 principal to roll back in 38 days: these 3 iron rules saved me

I. The first truth I realized after losing 1 million

In December 2024, I was left with only 100,000 principal after a liquidation of altcoin leverage. Reflecting on past mistakes: I lost previously due to a 'gambler's mentality' - fully invested, holding on, and not setting stop-losses. This time, I used 'military-style position management' to turn things around, core logic:

Risk small for big gains but don't gamble your life: never open more than 10% of principal for each position, use 1-5x leverage to amplify volatility profits

Only earn certain price differences: abandon bottom fishing and top-ticking, focus on BTC/ETH trends above 5%

Treat risk control as a lifeline: daily maximum loss must not exceed 2% of the principal

II. The 'Three-Three Rule' Golden Principle of Violent Rolling

1. Position splitting: divide 100,000 into 3 'independent combat units'

30,000 principal: 3x leverage to trade BTC trend (set 2% stop-loss and 5% take-profit immediately after opening position)

30000 principal: 5x leverage to trade ETH/BTC cross-currency hedging (lock in mainstream coin volatility differences)

40,000 principal: the 'life-saving position' that never moves (to prevent extreme market conditions from causing liquidation)

2. Rolling position nodes: withdraw profits every time you earn 10%

Example: With a 30,000 principal earning 3,000, immediately transfer 1,500 to a cold wallet, remaining 31,500 continue to roll

Core: Use profits to take risks, never touch the original principal. In 38 days, I transferred out profits totaling 120,000 eight times.

3. The Iron Rule of Dynamic Leverage Adjustment Summary

Account net value | Leverage multiple | Single position limit | Stop-loss range

iv>

100,000-300,000 | 2-5x | 15% | 1.5%

>300,000 | 1-2x | 20% | 1%

III. Key operations

'Panic hedge' ETH: When ETH drops 12%, simultaneously open long spot + short perpetual contract (lock in a 6% price difference, successfully arbitrage in 24 hours)

Take-profit migration strategy: After each take-profit, transfer funds from high volatility ETH to more stable BTC (reduce drawdown risk)

IV. The anti-liquidation system that is more important than making money

Set phone alarms for 15:00/22:00 to force check positions (avoid emotional trading at night)

Capital red line rule: When account net value falls back more than 30% of the daily profit, immediately close positions and rest for 24 hours

Use Aicoin to monitor the 'position amount/funding rate/spot premium' three-dimensional indicators, resolutely avoid opening positions during divergences

The crypto world doesn't believe in tears, but those who respect the rules will eventually find opportunities
