Having been in the crypto trading industry for many years, I’ve heard too many tragic stories. The most heartbreaking aren’t the complaints during market crashes, but the despair of fans whose accounts are wiped out—"I was all in, now I have nothing."

Last week, a trader learning from me used all his savings of 6000U accumulated over three months, and added 5x leverage to go long on a leading coin. Just a 6-point correction, and his account was liquidated. The most painful part was that he didn’t even set a stop-loss, reasoning that "it will definitely go up."

I hear stories like this several times a week. In the crypto world, there’s a group of people who treat "going all-in" as the only way to turn things around, but they don’t realize that market volatility in crypto is several times greater than in traditional finance. The so-called "fast track to wealth" is essentially a bottomless pit.

I’ve never believed in stories of "getting rich overnight by going all-in." Those who truly survive in crypto are not gamblers, but people who embed risk control into their trading habits.

**Position Management Rules: The Divide Between Losses and Stable Profits**

After three years of reviewing thousands of real trading accounts, I’ve found that traders who have come back from repeated liquidations all follow the same set of rules. This approach has helped my students turn from continuous losses to stable profits:

**Rule 1: Never risk more than 5%-10% of total funds on a single position**

This is an ironclad rule. No matter how confident you are in a trade, your position size should never exceed this ceiling. This way, even if several trades go wrong in a row, your account can still survive. Many people think this makes money too slow, but slow and steady beats rapid liquidation every time.
