#数字资产动态追踪 When I first entered the market, I had accumulated 8,000 USDT in my hands and impulsively opened a 100x leverage contract. The market only shook once, and within fifteen minutes, my position was wiped out halfway through. That day, I sat in front of the screen with my heart pounding like drums, eyes fixed on those flashing red numbers, feeling dizzy.



It was at that moment that I truly understood—liquidation is not an accident; it’s clearly the market’s first lesson for beginners.

Since then, I’ve learned to respect the market. No longer dreaming of getting rich overnight, no longer letting emotions drive my decisions. Gradually, I realized that contracts are not gambling but a practice in risk management.

I’ve seen too many examples: some make a little profit and think they are geniuses, only to get liquidated every few days; others lose so much they can’t sleep, staring from 10 PM to 4 AM, eventually consumed by their own fear and losing all rationality. $BTC $ETH

They all fail to understand one thing—the true trading masters mostly wait. Seventy percent of the time in cash observing, thirty percent of the time entering with the right rhythm, and making a full profit with each move.

Last year, I caught that wave of the market using the Bollinger Bands indicator. While others blindly looked at candlestick charts, I focused on one thing: rhythm. When the Bollinger Bands tighten, it’s gathering strength; suddenly expanding with volume is a signal. I built my position in batches from the lower band, with stop-loss set at previous lows. Over three weeks, my account multiplied thirty times. It’s not because I have strong prediction skills, but purely because discipline saved me.

Now, I hold three unbreakable rules in my mind:

**1. Max loss per trade is 2%**—even if the market is unpredictable, I stick to this line.

**2. Trade at most twice a day**—more than that, and emotions tend to take over.

**3. Once floating profit reaches 50%, withdraw the principal immediately**—capital preservation comes first.

It sounds rigid, but it’s precisely this “rigidity” that has kept me alive in the crypto world.

The market never lacks those who dare to rush in; what’s missing are those who can truly survive. If you’re still trading based on feelings and being led by the market, stop for a moment. Give yourself time to cool down, treat trading as a craft rather than a gamble—perhaps that’s the real starting point.

Damn, at the moment of 100x liquidation, I could feel that despair. Really, many newbies get trapped here. No kidding, discipline is the only reason to stay alive. I'm now sticking to that 2% stop-loss line. Don't talk about making a little more profit; the principal is the key. Bollinger Bands multiplied thirty times? Alright, buddy, it depends on whether you truly understand the rhythm or just got lucky. But on the other hand, your strategy of increasing the principal by 50% is indeed brilliant. Survive vs. make big money, these two things are always contradictory in the crypto world. I've seen too many stories of accounts going from zero to hero and back to zero.

The Bollinger Bands are indeed at the top, but I still have a bit of a feeling whether to believe your thirtyfold doubling... However, there's nothing wrong with the principle of capital preservation. I am now strictly implementing a 2% stop-loss; being alive is more important than anything else.

100x leverage, to put it simply, is like gambling with your life. I've seen too many people swallowed by this, with their accounts wiped out within half an hour. Discipline is indeed reliable, but to be honest, most people simply can't do it. Capital preservation is the key, and there's no mistake in that.

That moment of 100x leverage was truly hellish; in fifteen minutes, I lost 8,000 yuan. I can imagine that feeling. But on the other hand, surviving is the real skill. Rigid discipline is indeed much more reliable than flashy technical analysis.

A 100x leverage is truly a textbook-level lesson; I understand the feeling of evaporating in fifteen minutes. The discipline of the Bollinger Bands is indeed strict, but I'm just worried that most people can't hold on when they see a limit-up. Living is harder than making money. These three rules are simple to say, but it all depends on who can endure.
