The cryptocurrency world has never been about 'winning by all means', but rather 'surviving through understanding'! Too many newcomers, upon first encountering cryptocurrency, treat perpetual contracts as a shortcut to 'quickly doubling their money'. The reality is: those who trade based on emotions and go All in at a moment's notice ultimately fall victim to 'greed' and 'impulsiveness', leaving them with no chance to turn things around.
I have been struggling in the cryptocurrency world for many years, relying on no secrets to get rich quickly. The reason I have been able to survive through bull and bear markets until now is entirely thanks to these 4 fundamental principles. They won't double your money overnight, but they can help you avoid 90% of the pitfalls — in the cryptocurrency world, simply 'surviving' is the greatest victory.
1. No all-in: position size is the bottom line, not courage.
Going all-in the moment the market moves is the most fatal pitfall for beginners. There has never been a '100% certainty' in the crypto world; even if your analysis is spot on, a market pullback could lead to a margin call, leaving you with no chance to recover.
Remember: always leave enough room for trial and error with your capital. True trading experts never rely on 'all-in' bets for profits, but instead control risk with reasonable positions. Those who are stable in their positions, even if they miss a few opportunities, can stand firm in critical market conditions and go much further than those who 'charge aggressively'.
2. Follow the trend: don't clash head-on with market rules.
The weakness of human nature is 'fear of rising, love for bottom fishing,' but those who can truly make money are always those who follow the trend. When the trend is upward, pullbacks give you an opportunity to get in; don't guess the top before the trend breaks, and definitely don't bottom fish against the trend—market inertia is always more reliable than your 'subjective judgment.'
The core of trading is not 'fighting against the trend,' but rather 'following the trend.' When the trend is clear, even if you only capture a portion of the profit, it is much stronger than repeatedly trialing in a volatile market; counter-trend operations may seem like picking up bargains but actually go against human nature and market rules, ultimately leading to harsh lessons.
3. Control profits and losses: taking profits and stopping losses is your moat.
Making money in the crypto world is not difficult; the challenge is 'holding onto profits.' Without stop losses or take profits, no matter how good your market sense or analysis is, it's all in vain—one uncontrolled loss could wipe out all your previous efforts.
Remember these three iron rules: ① The loss on each trade must not exceed 5% of total capital; ② Each profit should ideally cover losses (target ≥ 5%); ③ Maintain a long-term win rate above 50%. If you can achieve these three points, your capital curve will naturally trend upward, and even if you occasionally incur losses, it won't be devastating.
4. Trade less: learning to 'be idle' is the advanced wisdom of trading.
The biggest problem for beginners is not being 'too lazy,' but rather 'too diligent': placing five or six orders a day, operating dozens or hundreds of times a month, the busier they get, the more they lose, ultimately not only losing their capital but also exhausting their energy.
Trading is never a physical activity, but rather 'the art of waiting.' The market is always there; you don't need to rush in every second. Limiting yourself to 2-3 planned trades a day is far better than mindlessly clicking a hundred times—precise actions are much more profitable than frequent trial and error and can help you avoid traps in volatile markets.
Summary: The core of long-term winning in the crypto world can be summed up in four words.
No all-in, follow the trend, control risk, trade less.
The crypto world is never short of overnight wealth myths, but it lacks winners who can navigate through bull and bear markets. Those seemingly enticing 'shortcuts' are all traps you can't see; while these seemingly 'conservative' principles are the strongest armor protecting your capital.
If you are still anxious about contract losses at this moment and being repeatedly harvested by the market, it would be better to engrave these four principles in your heart. As long as your capital is there, opportunities are there; being able to stabilize, wait, and survive is worth more than any wealth-building secret.
