Proven method: In April, I turned 5000 USD into 120,000 USD in 18 days: The core to avoid liquidation in the crypto contract market is: Practical strategies for position management in the crypto space

Starting from 5000 USD to 120,000 USD is not a fantasy,

but it requires precise strategies + strict position management.

Below are market-validated practical methods suitable for short-term/swing traders,

but the last step's "mysterious bonus" is the key

Step 1: Fund allocation (How to bet with 5000 USD?)

Core principle: Don't go all-in, don't risk it all, use compound thinking for growth

3000 USD (60%) → Low-risk steady trades (BTC/ETH swings)

1000 USD (20%) → High-odds altcoins (catching hot trends, like AI, MEME, RWA)

500 USD (10%) → Contract hedging (only for extreme market protection)

500 USD (10%) → Cash reserve (waiting for a crash to buy the dip)

Beginner mistake**: Going all-in on a single coin or fully leveraging a position

Step 2: Trading strategy (How to grow funds?)

1. Main battlefield: BTC/ETH swings (3000 USD)

Strategy: Swing at key support/resistance levels (e.g., buy when BTC drops to moving average support, sell when it rises to previous high resistance)

Goal: Earn 10-20% each swing, do this 2-3 times a month, compound growth

2. High-impact points: High-odds altcoins (1000 USD)

Strategy: Only play low-market-cap coins with hot trends (e.g., new coin launches, sector rotations)

3. Hedging protection (500 USD contract)

Usage: When the market experiences extreme conditions (like before a crash), hedge with 5-10x short positions to reduce spot losses

Step 3: Position management (How to avoid liquidation?)

Single trade ≤ 10% of capital (e.g., for a 5000 USD account, a single order ≤ 500 USD)

Stop-loss hard limit ≤ 5% (cut losses at 500 USD, don’t hold the position)

Take profit in batches (take half profit at 20% gain, keep the other half for higher gains)

Weekly review, cut weak coins, keep strong coins

Key mindset: Cut losses short, let profits run, not “take a little profit and hold on to losses”
