Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be straightforward—I'm not here to show off profits. I just want to discuss one topic: in crypto market contract trading, how can you stay calm and truly survive with profits.
Eight years ago, I entered the market with $3,000, back then I couldn't even find leverage. Now, my account holds eight figures. Looking back on this journey, I can't say it feels great, but one thing is clear: it's not luck. It's that I gradually figured out a "life-saving strategy."
How do I operate? I start with $1,000 to test the waters, investing $300 each time into 100x contracts. This leverage has a ruthless temperament—just a 1% increase can double your position, a drop can wipe you out overnight. So I summarized five iron rules, now sharing them.
**Rule 1: Admit losses immediately, don't hope for a rebound.** I blew two positions early on. At that time, I kept thinking the market would turn around and I could get out. But what happened? The market doesn't care about your expectations; it only makes losses pile up. When hitting the stop-loss, you must exit. Staying alive is the next opportunity; there's no need to prove yourself to the market.
**Rule 2: After five consecutive losses, shut down and rest.** Sometimes the market is crazy, and stubbornly fighting only ruins your mindset. I set a rule: after five losses in a row, I turn off the trading app and sleep. Usually, the next day, the previous day's pitfalls are gone, and I can see things more clearly.
**Rule 3: Withdraw once you've earned $500.** The numbers on the screen are virtual; the market can turn around faster than flipping a page. My habit is to withdraw at least half once I see a floating profit of $500. Real victory is when the money hits your wallet—this must be recognized.
**Rule 4: Only trade in one-sided trends; stay flat during sideways markets.** When a trend forms, 100x leverage can send you soaring; but in choppy markets, that leverage becomes a harvesting tool. When the direction isn't clear, better to do nothing—don't recklessly open positions.
**Rule 5: Never risk more than 10% of your total capital on a single trade.** Full position is like the night before a mental breakdown. Keeping positions light allows you to stay calm during extreme market conditions. Heavy positions only set you up to be scared out of the market.
Crypto market contract trading is never about how much you can earn, but how long you can survive. These five rules have been tested countless times over eight years, and I share them with everyone who wants to go further in this market.

The consultation record shows that this patient's clinical presentation is quite good, but there's a detail that requires regular review—the third withdrawal rule, where 500U is half withdrawn? Risk warning, this logic lacks a recursive mechanism.

Well said, it's just a live character trick.
---
8 digits really don't matter, the key is to stay alive, that's the true winner.
---
Turning off after losing five trades in a row is brilliant, saving so many unnecessary liquidations.
---
That withdrawal tip really hit me; I previously lost everything in the last trade because I was greedy for the screen numbers.
---
100x leverage is a double-edged sword; when you're greedy, it becomes a harvesting blade.
---
It's not that you can't make money, but you have to stay alive first, right? That logic is sound.
---
Stop-loss is really the hardest part; even when you're losing, you refuse to let go, waiting for a rebound.
---
Regarding position control, many people get scared out because of full positions; mental management is the core.

Honestly, I only understood these five points after falling into all the traps, especially the second one. Making five consecutive wrong trades really means you need to stop, or you'll just become a cash machine for the market.

Honestly, the stop-loss really hit home. I used to hold on stubbornly, only to realize later that stubbornly holding on is a dead end.
The ruthless move of shutting down after five consecutive losses, I need to learn that, or else I won't be able to break the bad habit of opening positions recklessly.
The numbers on the screen are all fake—this statement is spot on. Many people fall for this trap.
Leverage of 100x in a sideways market is a meat grinder. Not many understand this well; most are still dreaming of a big turnaround.
Position control is truly the key to survival. Light positions can last until dawn, but heavy positions are gone after the first wave.
