99% of Traders Lose Due to One Mistake: Will You Survive Until the End?

In the world of cryptocurrency, most investors do not lose due to a lack of knowledge, but rather because they lack survival discipline. The market is not short of opportunities, but capital is always limited. Just one poorly timed “all-in” can wipe out all previous efforts. The story below is not to brag about profits, but to emphasize something more important: survival first, then think about getting rich. The Three “Survival Rules” That Must Not Be Broken Two months ago, an investor was left with only 1,800 USD. After reflecting on all his mistakes, he decided to simplify everything and strictly adhere to three hard rules – no bargaining, no exceptions.

1. Capital Division – Never Go All-in A total of 1,800 USD is divided into 3 equal parts, each part being 600 USD, for completely different purposes: Do not pour in capital Do not go all in Do not let one mistake destroy the entire account In the crypto market, liquidation ( is like “chopping off a hand.” You can lose a hand and still live, but losing your head means everything is over.
2. Short-term Trading – Earn Less But Live Longer The first 600 USD for short-term trading: Maximum of 2 orders per day. Exit immediately if there is profit or if stop-loss is hit. No holding, no hoping. The goal of short-term trading is not to get rich quickly, but to: Create small cash flow Maintain market sentiment Do not let the account “starve” when the trend is not clear.
3. Trend Trading – Only Act When the Market Allows 600 USD for second trend-based trading in the medium to long term: No upward trend on the weekly frame → stay out Don't guess the bottom, don't catch falling knives Only enter orders when the market proves it wants to go up. Core principle: “If you don't see the rabbit, you don't draw the bow.” Patience in the crypto market is a huge advantage, as 90% of traders fail due to impatience.
4. Emergency Fund – The Thing That Keeps You in the Game The final 600 USD is not used for regular trading, but as reserve capital: Use when the market is highly volatile Supplement immediately on the liquidation day to maintain the position Ensure you are not knocked out of the game In crypto, as long as there is capital = there is opportunity. A Simple Yet Ruthless Trading Signal System No need for dozens of complex indicators. The system revolves around a few clear principles: The daily moving average is not trending upwards → do not enter the trade. Trading volume breaks the old peak + daily candle close confirms → enter the first trade. When the profit reaches 30% of the capital: Withdraw 50% of the profit. The remaining part sets a trailing stop of 10%. This is not a way to maximize profits, but rather a way to minimize mistakes. Before Placing an Order, Write “Death and Life Declaration” Every trade order must have a plan beforehand: Loss of 5% → cut the order immediately, no negotiation Profit of 10% → pull stop-loss to the break-even price Remaining part: let the market decide Once the plan is written, emotions no longer have a say. The Market Always Has Opportunities – But Do You Still Have Money? Crypto is like a meat grinder. Most investors get caught up because: Too many transactions Not managing capital Letting emotions lead the way Remember: “The market always has the next bus. Don't rush out the door before it's time.” Conclusion: Rich Slowly But Survive From 1,800 USD to 30,000 USD is not due to a magical transaction, but thanks to: Make fewer mistakes Maintain discipline Manage capital strictly In the world of cryptocurrency, assets do not belong to the fastest runner, but to the one who can survive the longest. Survive first, then talk about wealth. If you don't survive, you are just a transaction fee for others.
