#美国终止政府停摆危机 On the path of contracts, those who have stepped in the pits understand: 100x leverage feels great for a moment, but Get Liquidated only takes a second. $ALLO



Last month, when I met A Ru, my account only had 3000U left. I had blindly followed trades and lost 40,000, and I was completely numb, saying this was the last bit of money.

I didn't let her open the position right away. The first thing: split the money. 300U for trial and error, 2400U for preparation, 300U for emergencies. Sounds cowardly? This move directly saved her life—at least she wouldn't lose everything all at once.

Later she was able to roll up to 200,000 U, relying on a few ruthless tricks:

**Stop-loss is not just for show, you need to know how to play with double insurance**
If there is a fixed loss of 2%, cut it off, but for positions with floating profits, set a trailing stop loss. In April, during the sharp drop of BTC, she had a position with an 8% floating profit, and in the end, she locked in a 5% profit during the retracement. Those who stubbornly held on lost everything back, but she did not.

**Don't panic over mistakes; reviewing is more important than stopping.**
After she made three mistakes in a row, I asked her to check the reason—was it that she didn't clearly see the death cross of EMA10 and EMA20? Or was it that she didn't notice the funding rate soaring above 0.1%? Later, she made it a point to check two signals before opening a position: EMA golden cross + trading volume increased by more than 20%. This raised her win rate from 40% to 70%, all thanks to that.

**Don't get carried away after making money, there's a method to withdrawing profits**
For every 3000U earned, withdraw 1500U, and then allocate this 1500U: 1200U into stable financial management (to guard against black swan events), and 300U reserved for adding to positions (only to be used at key support levels). In June, she earned 4500U and withdrew 2250U, of which 1800U was locked in. In July, during the BTC correction, she used 450U to add to her position, without touching the principal.

**Don't open positions recklessly, follow the market trends**
When BTC is ranging between 65,000 and 70,000, the position is compressed to 5% (opening a position of 15U); only when it breaks 72,000 and the volume doubles, will it increase to 10% (opening a position of 30U). In the past, regardless of the market conditions, she always held a 10% position, which resulted in paying a lot of fees during the sideways period. Now, by adjusting according to market conditions, she loses 2000U less each month.

Now Aru can open a maximum of 3 orders every day, and each order has a record sheet: why it was opened, where the stop loss is, and how much the take profit is set. She said that she used to think that contracts were about luck, but now she understands that it is about using rules to calculate probabilities clearly.

When the account was stable at 200,000 U, she told me: "Losing 40,000 taught me more than earning 200,000."

Only after losing everything did I learn to cut my losses.

Stop loss is more valuable than everything.
