I've seen too many stories of doubling overnight and then turning around to zero. The rules of the game in the crypto futures world are brutal — it's not about who makes the fastest profit, but who can survive the longest. I grew my initial capital from a few thousand to six figures, and there's no secret trick — just a survival rule learned at the cost of five liquidation events.

**Cut losses harshly, don’t fight the losses**
I’ve been liquidated twice early on, both for the same reason — always thinking "just a little longer, it will rebound." The market doesn’t move in your favor just because you mentally prepare for it. Once the price breaks support, cut it immediately. Hesitating even half a second can put more of your capital at risk. There’s no concept of "being trapped," only "liquidation." Admit mistakes and cut losses immediately; only then is there a chance to turn things around. Now, before every trade, I set a stop-loss line. Even if I get stopped out and the market reverses, I never regret that decision.

**Take a break after consecutive losses, don’t fight the market**
When the market is volatile, even the most sophisticated technical analysis can fail. I set a "circuit breaker" rule for myself: after three consecutive stop-losses, I shut down the software and take a whole day off. Forcing myself to keep trading only gets my emotions involved, and I end up becoming a cash machine for the exchange. Real profit opportunities only come once or twice a week. Instead of trading frequently, it’s better to stay on the sidelines and wait for the right opportunity.

**Withdraw profits once earned, digital numbers are just virtual**
No matter how good the numbers look in your account, if you haven't transferred the money to your wallet, it’s still just a reflection on the screen. My habit is to withdraw at least half of the profits once they reach a certain amount — for example, if I make 5000 yuan, I must transfer 2500. The volatility in the futures market is too high; only by actually taking profits can you prevent "waking up to find yourself back at the poverty line."
