On the brutal battlefield of cryptocurrency trading, countless traders enter with dreams of wealth, but most fall in the bloodbath of liquidation. I was once one of them, until I honed this practical strategy from 3000 U to 30,000 U at the cost of 9 liquidations. This anti-humanity operational system has no fancy theories, only survival codes earned with real money.

1. Burning the Boats: The Art of Cutting Off the Retreat

At the moment the last 3000 U was transferred to the exchange, the first thing I did was not to research candlesticks, but to execute 'cutting off the back route' operations:


  • 50% Principal Locked in Cold Wallet: Immediately transfer 1500 U to the cold wallet, completely cutting off the impulse to add positions. On the brink of liquidation, human greed drives you to keep adding, and this 'physical isolation' helped me preserve my capital during May's BCH spike.

  • Remaining Funds Three-Way Split: Split 1500 U into 3 independent positions of 500 U each. On the night of May 23, when LINK plummeted 17%, it was these three independent positions that allowed me to survive the chain liquidations - when the first position was devoured, the second position was already lying in wait at the bottom of the waterfall.


Disruptive Leverage Logic: The first position must use ≥ 25 times leverage. This is not a gambler's mentality, but a precise calculation based on fund efficiency: 500 U under 25 times leverage can generate 125 U in profit from a 1% market fluctuation, enough to cover fees and quickly accumulate a profit base.

2. Time Trap: A Survival Guide for the Quantitative Slaughterhouse

On the timeline of the crypto market, countless life-threatening traps are hidden:


  • Morning Asura Field: 9:30-10:15 is the peak period for Asian quantitative teams to change positions. In the 7 'false breakouts' of BTC in May 2025, 6 occurred during this time slot. The rapid rise or fall on the candlestick chart is often a sweep order trap of quantitative programs.

  • Evening Massacre: The bloody moment of institutional fund rebalancing is from 8:00 to 8:45 after the CME futures opening. The plunge of LINK at 8:12 on the night of May 23, and the subsequent golden rebound in the 42nd minute, were essentially short-term repairs triggered by whale margin replenishment - on-chain data shows that at that time, the margin injection from the top 100 addresses surged by 37%.


Devil's Details: The 42nd minute after a waterfall market is not a random number. By analyzing 30 instances of severe fluctuations from 2024-2025, it was found that whales typically need 41.6 minutes to complete margin replenishment, with a rebound probability of 78% in this time window.

3. The Survival Philosophy of Earning 'Dirty Money'

When the first position gains 20%, it is essential to initiate anti-humanity actions:


  • Principal Withdrawal Mechanism: As soon as 500 U turns into 600 U, immediately withdraw 500 U of principal. During the surge of PEPE in June, it was this 'profit naked running' strategy that allowed me to preserve all my principal before the coin price halved.

  • Reverse Hedging Technique: Open a 25 times reverse position with 100 U profit. This move seems contradictory, but it is actually 'using profit to gamble for a double kill' - when PEPE rose from 0.00012 U to 0.00045 U, my long position gained 275%, and the reverse hedge position gained 19% in pullback profit, ultimately achieving a compound profit of 268%.


Hidden Defense Mechanism: When perpetual funding rate > 0.12%, 10% of the position must be converted into stablecoins. This rule, validated by the blood and tears of liquidated traders, originated from a pinpoint explosion in April 2025 - at that time, the funding rate reached 0.15%, and after lasting for 4 hours, long traders were pushed to liquidation due to rate erosion.

Leverage Safety Value Formula: The code for survival gained from 9 liquidations

This formula combines on-chain staking rates and futures open contracts:
Safe leverage multiple = (1 - liquidation risk coefficient) × (staking rate / open contract ratio)


  • Liquidation Risk Coefficient: Calculated from Coinglass's liquidation heat map based on the pressure value of the 5% support level below;

  • Staking Rate: The staking ratio of the top 100 addresses shown by Nansen, when above 35%, the market resilience increases;

  • Open Contract Ratio: When the long-short ratio > 1.8, the leverage safety threshold is reduced by 30%.


In the 9 severe fluctuations of May 2025, this formula allowed me to accurately avoid all liquidation points. For example, on the eve of May 17, when BTC plummeted from 28,000 U to 23,000 U, the formula calculated that the safe leverage multiple was only 12 times, while the market generally used 20 times leverage, ultimately leading to 85% of long positions being liquidated.

The final words of the heart

In this industry, the most valuable thing is not the strategy, but turning oneself into an emotionless execution machine. Among the traders who entered at the same time, only I survived, simply because I adhered to two iron rules:


  1. No Pain in Stop Loss: When the price touches the preset stop loss position, even if it means a 50% loss, you must close the position immediately. During the SOL crash in March 2025, timely stop loss allowed me to preserve 60% of my principal, while those who hesitated ultimately went to zero.

  2. No Greed in Profit: Whenever profit exceeds 30%, 50% must be transferred to a cold wallet. This action is not to lock in profits, but to cut off the heart demon of 'getting rich by adding positions'.


When you start to feel pain over the stop loss money, when you fantasize about changing your destiny with a single bet, you are only one step away from going to zero. In the meat grinder of cryptocurrency, surviving is more important than any strategy - because only by living can you wait for the wave of market that belongs to you.#比特币2025大会
