#加密市场回调 #美联储重启降息步伐 #ETH巨鲸增持
At two o'clock in the morning, my phone vibrated like it had a small motor inside. The moment I answered, I was drowned out by a crying voice: "Brother! The principal is gone! It clearly just dropped a bit, how did the account get wiped out?"
Opening the screenshot he sent, I instantly understood—he went all in with his entire position and added twenty times leverage, without even setting a stop-loss. This wasn’t being harvested by the market; it was clearly him handing the sickle to the main player.
After eight years of crawling and rolling in the cryptocurrency world, I have long understood: going all in is not the original sin; reckless operations are the fatal flaw. I often use an all-in approach, but it’s never a do-or-die gamble; instead, it relies on three iron rules that can double the principal in six months.
## Iron Rule One: Do not exceed 15% of total funds in a single transaction
For example, with a principal of twenty thousand, the maximum I would invest in a single transaction is three thousand. Even if I make a judgment error, it only costs me a bit of skin; leaving enough ammunition allows me to wait for the next certain opportunity. Those who go all in seem brave, but they will sooner or later become cannon fodder for the market.
## Iron Rule Two: Limit single losses to a hard cap of 2%
Take a position of three thousand as an example; set a stop-loss of about 1.3% in advance. If I lose four hundred, I immediately cut my losses without hesitation. Even if I make five mistakes in a row, I can still keep over ninety percent of my principal. The prerequisite for making money in the crypto world is to stay alive; only by staying alive can one have the capital to turn things around.
## Iron Rule Three: Stay out during fluctuations, and do not be greedy with profits
In a sideways market, I firmly control my hands and don’t get tempted by small fluctuations; only upon clear breakthrough signals do I act decisively. After making a profit, I must remain sober, set a trailing stop-loss, and take profits when they are good, never blindly increasing my position. Remember: only what is truly in your pocket is your money.
My friend A Jun used to blow up his account every month, but after following these three iron rules with me, his three thousand principal grew to five thousand eight in three months, with a maximum drawdown of only 1.8%, and he no longer had to stay up all night anxiously watching the charts.
In the end, the cryptocurrency world is not about who makes money quickly, but rather who survives longer. As long as your positions are orderly and your discipline is strict, you will always be at the table. If you can’t sleep tonight and want to trade recklessly? Listen to me, turn off the software and get a good night's sleep. When you wake up and find your principal still intact, you've already won against ninety percent of those who blindly gamble their lives.
