From 10,000 to 400,000: 8 Life-Saving Rules Xiao K Learned from 3 Years of Margin Calls

When Xiao K first joined the group, he had only 10,000 yuan left in his wallet. He pinned the three-year margin call record on the wall, staring at the red numbers until 4 a.m. Now his account is 400,000 yuan. Those 8 points are the secret code that transformed that wall from a "pillar of shame" into a "cash machine"—if you have less than 100,000 yuan in principal, I recommend copying it down and posting it on your screen.

1. Fewer trades yield more profits

After the third trade of the day, his win rate plummeted from 68% to 38%, with transaction fees eating up his profits. On the day ETH plummeted, he shorted 5% of his position and made 30 times his money in 3 hours. In the past, he would open 8 trades a day and work until late at night, only to lose 12%.

2. When all the good news is out, it's a trap.

Didn't reduce your position on the day of the data or conference? A higher opening the next day is your last escape hatch. Only take advantage of the sentiment premium; chasing after it later will be a gamble.

3. Avoid key periods.

Leveraged accounts are most vulnerable to liquidation in the 36 hours before CPI and the 48 hours before holidays. On the night of FTX's collapse, he exchanged 80% of his holdings for stablecoins and went to sleep, while his friends in the group were fully leveraged. When they woke up, their accounts were wiped out.

4. Never overextend your position.

A single trade should be no more than 5% of your principal. Set a stop-loss at 5% below the support level. Withdraw half of your profit after a 50% profit. A light position won't make you rich overnight, but it will help you survive all black swan events.

5. Invest only when you're confident.

Only place orders when the 15-minute candlestick chart, KDJ chart, and trading volume show a golden cross, and if the market fluctuates sideways by less than 2%, wait and see. He watches the market for 30 minutes every day, and his returns surpass those of watching the market for 12 hours.

6. Short sell when the market slowly rises and breaks below its low.

If the market rebounds sharply but doesn't reach its previous high, avoid it. In January of this year, SOL plummeted 40%, rebounding for just 20 minutes, leaving all the bottom-fishing orders in ruins.

7. Stop-loss orders are more important than reputation.

If the direction is wrong, cut losses immediately. Stop losses if you lose 3% of your principal. Clear positions with one click if your floating profit drops 20%. He lost half a year's profit in just three days holding ADA, and his margin call chart still serves as wallpaper.

8. Trust signals, not feelings.

Buy positions when the KDJ shows a golden cross and high volume, and close positions immediately when the MACD shows a top divergence and low volume. This is more accurate than any market intuition. @魔术手宝哥 Turning a small portfolio around depends on turning discipline into muscle memory. The market is not a casino, it's an open-book exam, and discipline is the answer. #加密市场回调 #山寨季何时到来？
