#数字资产市场动态 1200U to 66 million: My Crypto Survival Rules and Risk Awareness
Many people enter the crypto market, and many dream of getting rich quickly. But most end up losing their principal due to fatal mistakes like heavy positions, anti-positioning, and no stop-loss.
I'm not from a big account background; I started with just 1200U, a typical retail investor. Now, my account is stable at 66 million. I'm not bragging, just want to illustrate a logic: I never pursue maximizing single-trade profits, only ask myself "Should I open a position at this point?"
The experience accumulated over years of rolling positions, I will now share with you in detail.
**Stage One: Staying Alive for the Future**
Divide 1200U into 6 parts, each 200U for trading. It sounds conservative, but this is the foundation of survival.
· Every trade must have stop-loss and take-profit; no luck-based psychology
· No chasing, no counter-trend trading, no emotional trading
· Only participate in opportunities you understand; earning a little each day is fine
After the account exceeds $1200, then I move into true advancement.
**Stage Two: Riding the Trend**
When the account reaches around 12,000, I start the second approach. Keep each position within 30% of the total funds, no more.
Once the trend is confirmed, add positions gradually rather than all at once. The goal is clear: steadily capture the middle part of the trend, let profits run naturally, and avoid greed at the start or end.
Mainstream coins like ETH and BTC have relatively clear volatility patterns and offer the most opportunities.
**Stage Three: Withdrawal is a Must**
When the account surpasses 300,000, I change my strategy—start locking in profits and withdrawing weekly.
It's not because I fear further losses, but because I fear that a sudden accident could wipe out all the gains. Taking profits and securing them is not conservative; it’s the only way to ensure continuous compound growth. Only by rolling over like this can the account grow larger and larger.
**Three Inevitable Pitfalls Leading to Margin Calls**
Most people encounter these pitfalls:
- Chaotic position management, ending with a heavy position all-in and getting wiped out
- Never setting stop-losses, letting small losses turn into huge ones, ultimately losing everything
- Correctly reading the big trend but being worn out by anti-positioning
The crypto market has always been a game of collective effort. Without reliable information channels, risk awareness, and coordinated operation, even the smartest traders can easily fall into traps.
