In the HYPE market, I've seen too many people go all-in from full position to zero out. To survive, I’ll share what I’ve learned over the years.
From the worst times when I lost sleep over losses, to now earning a stable monthly income in the millions, it’s not about some genius intuition. It’s about repeatedly tinkering with a set of methods that seem "stupid" but are effective—so simple that beginners can copy, and so brutal that they can turn from being chopped by the market into disciplined traders.
**Level One: Staying Alive for Tomorrow**
No matter how clever your strategy is, without capital backing it up, it’s useless. Staying alive is the baseline for any trading. How exactly to do this? Start with 100,000, only invest 10,000 per trade, and keep your total position within 20%. When losses happen, be even more ruthless: if a loss reaches 2% of your total funds (for example, 2000), exit immediately—no second thoughts. Leverage is something beginners should never touch; experienced traders must keep it below 10% of their total capital. Locking this in can reduce the risk of liquidation by 80%.
**Level Two: Focus is Key to Making Money**
In this market, profits depend on "what you did right," not "how much you did." Focus on one direction at a time—either go all-in long or short, don’t bet both sides simultaneously. This can boost your success rate to around 60%. Before placing an order, set your stop-loss and take-profit points: exit after a 3% loss, take profit at 5%, and then execute mechanically—don’t think "wait a bit longer for more gains." The first two trades of the day are the most stable; trading more than three times a day is basically giving away your fees.
**Level Three: These Pitfalls 99% of People Have Fallen Into**
Counter-trend adding is absolutely forbidden—adding to a losing position triples the risk of liquidation. High-frequency trading is also a no-go; the fees will eat up half your profits. The most heartbreaking thing is seeing your account show floating gains, only to turn into losses after a "wait and see" mentality—this illusion kills 93% of those who get liquidated.
Compare these two approaches to understand better. The first: using 100,000 capital to go all-in with 10x leverage on long positions, adding more during dips—resulting in liquidation. The second: using only 20,000 as a base, strictly adhering to 3% stop-loss and 5% take-profit, and trading just two high-confidence setups per week—this can yield a steady 8% monthly return, with a compound annualized rate of 151%.
**Final Words**
Veteran traders always say: use spare money, follow discipline, trade unilaterally; no all-in, no holding through losses, no double-timing. Contract trading is not a casino. Those who gamble with living expenses end up completely drained. Only with real spare funds, strict discipline as a rule, and surviving without losing everything, do you have the right to talk about making big money.

It's the same old story, claiming to earn millions a month so easily. Why not do a live demonstration of the trading?

Really, I've seen too many people go all-in and wipe out overnight; staying alive is more important than making money.

Another month of earning millions with textbook-like copywriting. No matter how beautifully it's said, you still have to step into the pit yourself to believe it.

It's the same story again. I've heard it more than once, but how many people can truly stick with it?
