【Old Trader's Truth: You Can Survive in the Crypto World Without Leverage】
Newbies always want to go all in, but experienced traders live longer with their capital + stable strategies. Last year, a buddy got excited when ETH hit $4000 and immediately opened a 20x leverage! Three days later, he got liquidated and had nothing to eat but instant noodles.
Survival Tips:
1️⃣ 1x Leverage: Never exceed 1x, the liquidation leaderboard changes daily, stability is more important than excitement;
2️⃣ Invest Spare Money: Don't trade with your life savings, or you'll be the next one to get cut!
3️⃣ Diversify Risks: Players who mine and stake in DeFi will lose everything, only 1x leverage with proper position control can ensure stability!
4️⃣ Long-term Thinking: The survival rate in the crypto world is less than 5%, those who survive are experts at risk management, keeping the mountains green means having firewood to burn.
Don’t believe in “hundredfold or thousandfold” nonsense; keeping your wallet safe is the hard truth!
Everyone says $TRUMP can't be played anymore, but in the past 7 days, a 1x long-short quantitative strategy can still stabilize returns, with low drawdowns; if drawdowns are too high, you can't play either!
Brothers, pay attention! This is the real case of stable low-leverage trading!
Relying solely on quantitative 1x leverage, it achieved a 7-day return of 18.56%! Focus on these two numbers: Sharpe ratio 46.15%, and maximum drawdown only 5.45%! The conclusion drawn from painful experience: those who dare to use 10x leverage, not a single one survives this drawdown line!
Calculate it yourself, a 10x leverage liquidation only requires a 5% loss of principal to go to zero, while I can bear a 5% drawdown with 1x leverage and still make a profit. This is a typical 'never seen before' approach! Look at those projects with a lot of followers, 99% are playing with high leverage, where is the long-term survival?
This is the way smart people do it—using low leverage to steadily build, with accounts climbing every day, just like rolling a snowball. Unlike some people who want to multiply their money tenfold in one day, only to end up feeding their principal to fees! I say, this 18.56% return may not look exciting, but when calculated with compound interest... it can double in half a year, and reach astronomical figures in a year!
Look at these 26 profitable positions, win rate is not important, anyway the drawdown is tightly controlled!
This is the survival rule of a true contract trading veteran:
Always keep enough margin, using time to outlast those who chase highs and cut losses!
