5 Major Rules You Must Follow When Trading Cryptocurrency
Experience gained through blood and tears. If you don't want to face liquidation, please read on.
Five years ago, I was awakened by the liquidation alarm from the exchange in the early morning. In just three hours, my account of 6 million was wiped out, and the negative numbers flashing on the screen nailed me to the cross of reality.
At that moment, I finally understood: the crypto world is not a casino, but a battlefield.
I borrowed 120,000 as capital and started to analyze my failures, studying strategies and learning trading logic. Within 90 days, I turned my capital into 20 million, with a win rate as high as 90%. Along the way, I summarized the 5 major rules for trading cryptocurrency, hoping you won't be cannon fodder during a market crash.
Rule One: The market is not for “all in,” it’s for survival.
No matter how optimistic you are, never go all in. Position management > any belief.
Rule Two: Use leverage wisely. 100x does not equal reckless gambling. 100x leverage ≠ aggressive; the core is capital efficiency, using 1% of capital to leverage 100% of opportunity, and keeping 99% of funds for risk control. Mature traders use 100x to manage risk, not to amplify their gambling nature.
Rule Three: Stop-loss must be executed; holding onto losing positions will lead to disaster. Set a stop-loss of 2-3% per trade, and activate trailing stop-loss once profits exceed 5%. Never refuse to stop-loss because of “it might come back.” One failure to stop-loss could wipe you out completely.
Rule Four: Trading time must be controlled; no more than 2 hours a day. Emotions are the root cause of losses. The more you stare at the screen, the harder it is to make calm judgments. It’s recommended to limit high-intensity trading to 2 hours; after that, force yourself to leave. Control the pace and don’t be greedy, that’s the strongest discipline.
Rule Five: Don’t be greedy with target returns; a daily profit of 1-2% is enough.
Calculating with a capital of 5,000 USDT, a daily return of 1% yields about 1,000 USDT monthly, and during good market conditions, it can reach 3,000 USDT. But the prerequisite is that you must survive, not gamble every day.
This is not just motivational talk; it’s practical experience. If you are still frequently facing liquidation, chasing highs and selling lows, or going all in, it’s not that you aren't trying hard enough; it’s that you are not “living with the right method.”
