My name is Bin Ge. After many years of trading, my deepest insight is one sentence: survive to see tomorrow.



Recently, I met a friend who used a seemingly "conservative" strategy and managed to extract 5 million in the market. The craziest part is his track record—almost 80% of his trades were losses. It sounds unbelievable at first, but this guy has survived the longest and earned the most steadily with this approach.

**Why has he survived? Two words: capital**

This is not just hype. He never fully commits his position; he only uses up to 10% of his total funds for each trade. Stop-loss? Strict execution, never exceeding 5%. After three consecutive losses, he stops trading, takes a day off, and then comes back. And those who mock him for being "too cautious"? Most of them have already exited the market.

The rules of the crypto world are brutally simple—surviving longer is always more valuable than earning quickly. Many beginners go all-in right away, regret when prices dip slightly, get excited during rebounds, only for the market to turn again, and finally panic and cut losses. Such people change every year.

**My own strict rule is: risk no more than 2% of total funds per trade**

This is not conservatism; it’s mathematics. For example, in short-term trading, I first set the stop-loss level, then work backwards to determine position size. This way, even large fluctuations can't fundamentally shake the position. Controlling position size rhythmically helps keep calm amid market madness.

Position management is the defensive line of trading. Hold this line, and no matter how many opportunities the market gives you, you can seize them all.

That's right, as long as you're alive, there's hope; otherwise, that 5 million would just be a mirage.

That's right, principal is the key. I've seen too many all-in gambles, and now they're all gone.

This guy's got a point, I'm just a bad example... The group that went all-in with full positions has long been wiped out.

A 2% risk control threshold sounds simple, but most people tend to break it when actually implementing it... The ones who experience a series of liquidations are often those who are confident in reverse-engineering their positions.

Eighty percent loss can still result in a profit of five million? This is really not just empty talk; it's the art of living. Once you master position management, no matter how fierce the market is, it can't break your surfboard.

You're absolutely right. I've seen too many people go all-in and end up as casualties of the market. Principal is the key.

My buddy is right, but I've still had my setbacks. 2% risk control sounds simple, but when the market crashes, it's really a test.
