(Warning: All lessons are blood-soaked lessons)



Brothers, we need to understand the market thoroughly—contracts may look simple, but in reality, it's a knife's edge job. The happiest times are when your investment doubles, and the worst is when you get liquidated. I've seen it many times: bragging in the group in the morning, only to be wiped out by the afternoon. To put it bluntly, if you can't even protect your principal, then no matter how good the opportunity is, it doesn't matter to you.

**Why do you always get cut? Because the main force is fixed on "emotional traders"**

The market is full of this type of person: seeing a rally, they FOMO rush in; encountering a sharp drop, they panic sell. The result? Perfectly in sync with the main force's rhythm. Recently, ETH plunged, and some guy used 5x leverage to go all-in for a bottom, only to be completely wiped out the next day with a single spike. This kind of operation is essentially a gamble on direction—no different from flipping a coin.

The main force's tactics are really clever: creating fake breakouts to lure leveraged traders in, then dropping the price sharply to clear out positions. If you follow your emotions, aren't you just handing yourself over?

**Only those who survive are winners—my three ultimate tricks**

*First trick: Wait, don’t be a "market goer"*

My principle is simple—better to miss out than to make mistakes. When Bitcoin is consolidating, unless I see a clear volume breakout or confirmation at a key level, I just sit back and watch. Don’t worry about missing opportunities; the market fluctuates every day. What you really lack is the principal in your pocket.

*Second trick: Control leverage, survival comes first*

Some say, "Not using 100x leverage is better than saving in the bank," and I just have no words. That’s because they haven't experienced extreme market conditions. Now I max out at 3 to 5x leverage, and before major events or important data, I proactively reduce it to 1 to 2x. Staying alive is the real victory.

Really, is the guy who doubled down 5x to bottom out still doing okay? That's right, as long as you're alive, you've won; everything else is nonsense. Wait, is this 3 to 5x leverage really safe? Every day we're driven by emotions, when will we grow some brains? When the market is sideways, just lie flat—I agree with that, but it's easy to get itchy hands. Not using leverage is indeed boring, but even 100x leverage would be dead. Losing the principal means you can't play anything; that's a hard truth. That moment when the needle was inserted, the person was gone instantly—just thinking about it is terrifying. That afternoon zeroing out was heartbreaking, too realistic. The main players are just betting on our impatience; there's no way around it.

Damn, that 5x all-in bottom-fishing part really hit me. I've really seen too many of these. Honestly, just surviving and coming out is already halfway to winning. This guy's point is spot on; leverage is like poison, drinking it sip by sip. If the principal is gone, there's no point in anything else. For now, sticking to 1 to 2x leverage is much better for quality sleep.

Really, that guy going all-in with 5x leverage deserves it; it's a completely suicidal move. Well said, living is winning; don't always think about turning things around in one shot. I've seen through this trick a long time ago, just waiting for the main players to give signals, and lying flat the rest of the time. Leverage is truly a poison; use it carefully to survive longer. I've heard too many stories of needle insertion and clearing positions; every time, someone repeats the same mistake. Better to miss out than to make a mistake—this phrase is worth getting a tattoo of.

Truly a bloody lesson, this morning still hyping 5x leverage to go all in, by the afternoon the person was gone --- This guy is not wrong, emotional trading is indeed the best tool for cutting leeks --- I'd rather miss out than make a mistake, I need this phrase tattooed on me --- The part about clearing 5x leverage positions really hit home, I’m all too familiar with this plot --- The key is that most people simply can't control themselves; just seeing a green candle gets them hyped --- Living > making money, this is probably the consensus among those who survive the longest in crypto --- That 100x leverage comment was truly brilliant, most people who say that have probably blown their positions several times --- Wait, this word is too simple yet too difficult, 90% of people can't do it --- I've seen too many times the tactic of the main force inserting a spike, and every time someone falls for it
