#数字资产市场观察 To be honest, what is truly fatal in the crypto market is not the unrealized losses on the books, but the Get Liquidated that wipes you out.

I have seen too many traders with less than 10,000 U in principal rush into the futures market with a few thousand U, staying up all night to watch the market, following community signals and going all in on hot trends—three days high, five days back to zero, ten days out of the game. These people think they are fighting for a comeback, but in reality, they are just warming up the market veterans.

I have also fallen into this trap. I once held 20,000 U and wanted to double it quickly, entering the market with FOMO when prices were high, and when it dropped, I stubbornly averaged down. After a series of moves, my account was left with just a few cents. That time of getting liquidated was like a cold shower, completely waking me up.

Later, I set three iron rules for myself, and with this set of rules, I pushed my account from the bottom to 100,000 U in 4 months, without getting liquidated again during this time.

**Iron Rule 1: Never exceed half of your position.**

No matter how tempting the opportunity looks, never bet all your capital on it. The market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks is the capital to survive until the next opportunity. Keep some bullets, gradually increase your position when the market is right, and retreat immediately when it’s not. Don’t hold back.

**Iron Rule 2: Take profit and stop loss must be executed.**

Common mistakes for beginners: holding on and waiting for a rebound when losing, being greedy for more when making a profit, and in the end, either getting liquidated or giving back all the profits. Set exit points in advance and strictly adhere to them; this is not being timid, but a basic quality of a professional trader.

**Iron Rule Three: Absolutely do not touch projects that you do not understand.**

Community signals, KOL endorsements, and short videos touting the "hundredfold potential coins" are mostly traps—nine out of ten. Entering without even understanding the basic logic of the project means you're not buying an opportunity but taking on risk. It's better to miss a wave than to step into a trap.

Stay calm when the market comes, and be patient during fluctuations. Hold on to 10,000 U, and you may have the chance to earn 100,000 U; stick to the discipline, and the market will reward you.

There are many people who can make quick money in the crypto market, but few who can remain stable without getting liquidated. If you want to survive in the long term, protect your principal first before talking about getting rich quickly—market trends won't run away, opportunities are always there, provided you are still in the game.

These three iron rules are the underlying logic for evolving from a novice to a stable profit player. It's not that you are slow; you are stumbling around in the dark. Have you ever thought about whether you have fallen into the pit of getting liquidated because of following the trend or greed?

Only by following the right rhythm can one break free from the cycle of losses.
