#密码资产动态追踪 Leverage trading is a game of heaven or hell in an instant. Want to come out alive? These 5 bottom lines must be deeply ingrained in your mind.



Crypto leverage trading is like dancing on a tightrope—one misstep and you're shattered. Stories of liquidation happen every day. If you don't want to become a leek (small investor), you need to learn how experts stay alive and make money.

**Choose multiples wisely**
The maximum for beginners is 3x, no debate. If you have 1000U and open a 3000U position at 3x, you can still sleep peacefully. But if you go 10x and turn it into a 10,000U position, a small market fluctuation could stop your heart. Crypto is a place to make money, not a death-defying race. Preserving your principal is more important than anything.

**Stop-loss must be clearly set**
The first thing when opening a position is to set a stop-loss—that's the premise of survival. If you expect BTC to hit 100,000U, then set your stop-loss at 98,000U. Taking a small loss and exiting is a thousand times better than being ruthlessly liquidated. The market has no feelings; it won't show mercy just because you feel sorry for yourself.

**Margin ratio is a life-and-death line**
If the system warns you're approaching liquidation, don't pray—add margin immediately. Experienced traders always reserve 3-5 times buffer. If the market suddenly drops and you have no funds to add, liquidation is imminent. The front wave dies on the beach—no one thought of this scenario.

**Liquidation heatmap: see the deadly zones clearly**
Why does a certain price range always lead to liquidation? That's the exchange's "death map." For example, in the BTC 98,000-100,000U range, liquidation orders pile up like mountains. Smart traders will avoid it; fools will stubbornly crash into it.

**Don't go all-in; diversification is king**
Want to turn 5000U around? Split it into 2500U for BTC and 2500U for ETH, and also diversify your leverage. A big bearish candle can drop 30% in minutes—high leverage leaves no chance to turn things around. Save your bullets; surviving to the next wave of the market makes you the real winner.

Using leverage to make quick money is indeed possible, but only if you stay alive. Learn to cut losses, understand risk control, and respect the market—only then can you last until the end in this game.

Another article titled "This is How You Must Live to Survive," I laughed because I am the case that didn't make it out alive.

Those who didn't set their stop-loss properly have to pay tuition fees. I am the fool who paid the most expensive tuition fee.

Everyone's right, but I just want to know how many people can really stick to stop-loss without greed... It's easy to understand but hard to practice for myself.

Sounds nice, but 99% of people will still go all-in, including myself.

Honestly, I've seen people using 10x leverage, and now the graveyard grass is two meters high. Stop-loss is really the dividing line between heaven and hell, there's nothing more to say.
