Many newcomers enter the market with less than 1,000 USDT in hand, not yet understanding how to operate, and half their mindset collapses before they even get started.



Actually, surviving is more important than anything else. Let me speak plainly:

Suppose you have 1,000 USDT as your principal. Don’t throw it all in at once—split it into 10 parts, only use 100 USDT at a time, and 20x leverage is enough. What about the remaining 900 USDT? Put it in a savings account to earn interest—don’t let it sit in your trading account and tempt you.

If you lose that 100 USDT, resist the urge to immediately add more funds. Take a break for a day or two, figure out what went wrong, and then come back. After you return, split the remaining 900 USDT into 10 parts (90 USDT each), take small, quick steps, withdraw profits after each win to keep your mindset stable.

With contracts, it’s never about being bold—it’s about position management.

If you’re on the wrong side, even 10x leverage can liquidate you. All-in? That’s just asking to die. Even if you have an 80% win rate, one heavy loss can wipe out all your previous gains.

So always keep your positions light. Be alert if you lose 2%, and if you lose 6%, close everything and take a break. Don’t chase pumps, don’t add to positions emotionally—if you’re going to add, do it at the beginning, or wait until after a pullback when things are stable. When profits exceed 200%, set a trailing stop for some and move the rest to your break-even price—lock in your profits.

If you’re in a bad mood, your life’s a mess, or you’re on a losing streak—don’t touch the market. Don’t go against the trend either. Keep your base position—good trends can keep making you money.

For beginners: start with 30 to 50 USDT; use 20x leverage; stop loss if you lose 20 to 30 dollars; take profit if your gains pull back by 30%. Remember to withdraw profits, deposit 500 to 1,000 USDT at a time, go slow—don’t go all in at once.

First, practice your feel and sense of the market—focus on profits later.

There are plenty of opportunities in crypto; what’s lacking are calm minds and execution. Only when you take the initiative can we have stories to tell.

Damn, this position management is intense. Going all in is just asking for trouble—I know that from experience.

Going all-in is just giving your money away, that’s really true. I used to get impulsive and go all-in too, but one reversal wiped me out completely. Now I always split my positions into 10 parts—profits come slower, but I survive much longer.

Light position, light position, light position—three times is still not enough. Going all-in is really asking for trouble.

Damn, this position management explanation is spot-on. Going all-in really is a recipe for disaster.
