$ETH In the crypto world, some people lose money and run away, while others earn millions a year. Do you say that's bad luck? Actually, not at all. The real difference lies in risk management.

$FHE Having been in the crypto space for many years, my biggest insight is — trading risk is not unmanageable; it all depends on how you allocate your funds.

My approach is simple: always lock in 200,000 USDT in the contract account, while the spot account fluctuates flexibly according to the market. When there are many trading opportunities, I increase the spot account to 1 million USDT; when opportunities are scarce, I reduce it to around 300,000 USDT. No opportunities means no forcing funds in — that’s the principle.

How do you like this strategy? In good market years, I can earn over 10 million RMB. That number is enough for me.

$ZEC Even better, even if luck isn’t on my side and I get liquidated in the contract account, I won’t panic. The profits from the spot account are enough to fill that gap. Once the gap is filled, I reinvest in the contract. Years of experience tell me that spot trading rarely results in zero profit over a year — I have confidence in that.

The core logic is actually one sentence: not losing the principal is the hard rule.

My strict rule for myself is — it’s okay not to make money, but absolutely cannot lose the principal. Because of this constraint, I haven’t been liquidated for a long time. Smarter still, every time I make money in the contract, I set aside a quarter or a fifth of it separately. That way, even if I get liquidated later, I still have some profits left, giving myself a fallback.

For ordinary players, my advice is: start small, take it step by step.

If your spot account has 300,000 USDT, only use 30,000 USDT for contracts — that’s one-tenth of the amount. If you get liquidated, at least your spot profits can cushion the blow. Generally speaking, after about ten or eight liquidations, you’ll figure out the way. If after so many tries you still can’t find the feel, then maybe trading contracts isn’t suitable for you, and cutting losses early is the smarter choice.

Honestly, those who can survive long in the crypto world don’t rely on luck, but on steady operations and risk control. That’s the threshold for long-term profitability.
