To be honest, the scariest thing in the crypto market is not the losses, but getting liquidated and being knocked out.

I have seen too many newcomers entering the market with a few thousand U, staying up all night to watch the market, following community signals to trade, and going all in when they see a hot trend. What’s the result? Three days of excitement, five days of account zero, ten days of disappearing without a trace. They thought they were fighting for a comeback, but in reality, they just became the ATM of the market.

I once fantasized about doubling my 20,000 USDT overnight. Chasing highs, panic buying, and various reckless operations left my account with only a small balance. That liquidation woke me up.

Later, I figured out three lines of defense for my funds, steadily advancing to 100,000 U in four months, during which I did not get liquidated again.

**Rule 1: Never exceed half of your position**

No matter how tempting the opportunity is, you should not stake all your capital. This market has never lacked opportunities; what it lacks is whether you have the bullets left when the opportunity arises. Gradually increase your position when the market is favorable, and withdraw immediately if something feels off. Never fall in love with a losing position.

**Article 2: Take Profit and Stop Loss Must Be Executed**

The most common mistakes for beginners: holding on through losses waiting for a rebound, and being greedy wanting a surge when in profit. In the end, either getting liquidated or giving back all the profits. Set rules and strictly follow them; this is not being timid, but a professional quality to survive in this field.

**Article 3: Don't touch what you don't understand**

Most of the "hundred times potential coins" shouted in the group, recommended by big influencers, or hyped in short videos are traps. Buying without even understanding the basic logic of the project is not seizing an opportunity, but jumping into a pit. It’s better to miss out than to step on a landmine.

When the market comes, keep a steady mindset; when it's in a sideways fluctuation, be patient. Hold onto 10,000 U, and you may have the chance to earn 100,000 U; maintain discipline, and the market will reward you.

There are many people in the crypto market who make quick money, but few who can hold steady. If you want to play for the long term, focus on preserving your capital before talking about getting rich—market trends won't run away, opportunities are always there, provided you are still in the game.

These three lines of defense represent the underlying logic for progressing from a novice to a stable player.

You are not slow, you are just stumbling around in the dark. Have you ever been Get Liquidated because of following the trend or greed? Only by following the right rhythm can you break out of the deadlock.
