# 6 Iron Rules for Survival in the Crypto World: From 8000U to Six Figures, No Gambling, Just Steady Gains!

At one in the morning, my phone buzzed incessantly — a female fan from Guangzhou, Ali, tearfully said, “I lost 100,000U and only have 8000U left, my mortgage is overdrawn, and my credit card is maxed out. If I lose more, I’ll have to sell goods at the night market!”

Brothers, I’ve seen this situation too many times. Do you really think losing everything in the crypto world is just about market conditions? The vast majority of people have a mindset and habits that are hopeless!

I didn’t rush to help her analyze the cryptocurrencies; I first had her take three deep breaths and write down the 6 “reverse survival strategies” I summarized in her memo. Unexpectedly, two months later, her account bounced back to six figures!

This method is not some mysterious strategy; it’s all derived from countless painful experiences of liquidation. Today, I’m sharing it publicly. If it can save one person, it's worth it:

1. First be an audience, then be a player

No matter how hot the new coin is, you must wait for three “stable pillars”: a box formed over the last three days, the 5-day moving average turning upward, and trading volume increasing by over 50%. Only when all three conditions are met should you try a 5% position; if not, brew a cup of tea and watch the show, absolutely do not move.

2. A sideways market is not a graveyard, it’s a ticket booth

If someone in the group calls for “cut losses” more than 500 times, it’s a signal to add to your position! But only dare to use unrealized gains to supplement, never touch the principal — the principal is life, profits are just paper; trading life for paper will eventually lead to your downfall.

3. In a sharp decline, first reveal your cards; in a sharp rise, first lock the doors and windows

When a waterfall comes, don’t panic. First, check previous lows and the fear index; if it hasn’t broken key levels, hold on; when the rocket is taking off, sell 30% to secure profits, and let the remaining portion use a trailing stop-loss to let profits “work for themselves,” no need to stay up all night watching the market.

4. Buy on green faces, sell on red faces

If the bearish candlestick is elongated, volume is increasing but hasn’t broken previous lows, then it’s safe to buy low; if the bullish candlestick exceeds 5%, first cut half of the position, and let the rest rely on stop-loss “on duty,” don’t be greedy for the last penny.

5. Always leave some room to breathe, don’t trap yourself

Never let a single coin position exceed 20%, total position at most 70%, and keep 30% cash as a safety cushion. Going all-in is for gamblers; leaving enough margin is what true players do.

6. A nightly confession, the more you lose, the clearer you see

After a losing position, you must write down three questions: Did I get itchy and follow the crowd? Did I hesitate on the stop-loss? Did I touch the principal? After writing, turn off the lights and go to sleep — the market won’t give discounts just because you cry; reflection is the foundation for turning the situation around.
