People who can endure in the crypto world are often not trading geniuses, but those who stay the clearest about their lives.



I have also experienced the despair of account liquidation and crushing debt. Frequent trading, full-position all-in, stop-losses being ineffective—all the mistakes that beginners can make, I have made them. Until one day, I realized a harsh truth: not making money is not because the market is bad, but because my own greed and fear haven't been understood.

After that bottoming rebound, I completely changed my trading mindset. I no longer let candlestick charts control me, nor do I dream of getting rich overnight. The result? Growing an account from 1500U to 15000U became a matter of going with the flow.

Why is that? Because I found three effective rules:

**First, funds must be managed in layers**
Trade short-term with 500U separately, strictly adhere to risk control without loosening; trend trading with another 500U, only act when a clear upward pattern is present; reserve an additional 500U for emergencies to prevent passive liquidation—this way, you always have bullets and will never be swept away by a market wave.

**Second, full-position trading is the graveyard of your trading career**
Whether it's ETH or BTC, no single asset is worth risking your entire wealth. Keep enough liquidity to stay steady amid volatility, and even consider contrarian operations.

**Third, the trend is your only friend**
In short-term trading, wait for clear positive signals from the market before entering—no guessing bottoms or predicting. Trend trading is simpler—go all-in when upward, otherwise stay in cash and wait. Take profit and stop-loss are not suggestions—they are lifelines.

One last word: wealth always belongs to those who live until the end.

There's nothing wrong with that, but very few can truly achieve it. The real winners are those who make it to the end, but unfortunately, most people won't live to see that day.

Really, those who went all-in with full positions are long gone; only the ones who survive are always the most ruthless in their survival.

That's right, mindset is much more important than technical skills. Living to the end is indeed the key, but most people die because of greed. Those with full positions are all warriors, but warriors tend to die quickly. I've tried this layered management approach before, and it can indeed help you survive longer, just earning a bit slower... but earning slowly is always better than a quick liquidation. I agree with the trend friends' saying, chasing the air is the real killer.

You're absolutely right, going all-in with full position size is truly a path to self-destruction. Living is much more important than making quick money. Greed is really the biggest killer in the crypto world, no doubt. I have deep experience with capital layering, and I am doing it now. Stop-losses are often ineffective; that was a painful lesson, and I have been through it too. The dream of getting rich overnight gets old; steady growth is the true way. Losses reveal your true self the most, and reflection is key. The idea that there are always bullets saved me several times. It sounds simple, but very few people can truly do it. Clarity and greed are just a single thought apart.

Basically, it's a mindset issue. Going all-in with a full position is really asking for trouble.
