#数字资产市场洞察 $BTC On December 15th, the price once dropped below $88,000, and in 24 hours, 110,000 traders were liquidated—these numbers are truly painful. The most heartbreaking case: a beginner used 1,000 USDT with 20x leverage, and was liquidated in just 5 minutes.



Such lessons are brutal. Combining on-chain data, I’ve come up with a few practical strategies that are truly useful for beginners.

**The Opening Strategy is Crucial**

Divide the 1,000 USDT into 5 parts; the first trade only uses 200 USDT with 10x leverage—that’s the passing line for perpetual contracts. Honestly, with 50x leverage, a 2% market fluctuation can wipe out your maintenance margin.

Invest the remaining 800 USDT into passive income products for steady returns. This is especially important because most beginners lose due to impulsiveness. I’ve seen a follower lose all their initial 200 USDT in the first position and still refuse to cut losses, and within a few days, only scraps remain from the 800 USDT.

After a loss, take 1-2 days to cool down and review: Was the trend judgment wrong? Or was your stop-loss triggered by a sudden spike? Bitcoin’s monthly volatility exceeds 4%, so opportunities are never scarce.

**Profits Require Knowing When to Let Go**

The most stable approach I’ve seen is: after earning 500 USDT, transfer 300 USDT out and keep 200 USDT to continue trading. In contrast, some become greedy—after profits, they don’t pyramid their positions but chase high and go all-in; a single correction can wipe everything out.

Veteran traders with a 60% win rate are considered good, but the real key to success is position management.

**Three Survival Rules**

If daily losses exceed 2%, be alert; if losses reach 6%, close all positions and take a break for a few days. When profits exceed 200%, use 40% of the gains to set a trailing stop for partial take-profit, and keep the rest to protect capital.

Starting with 1,000 USDT is enough for practice; the key is to stay alive until the next bull market.

In one go, 110,000 people got liquidated, this is the magic of leverage... Newbies' dreams shattered in 5 minutes, it's really reality. I don't even dare to touch 5x leverage, let alone 20x, my life is precious. The key is still the mindset, run when you make a profit, lie down when you lose, it sounds simple but is hard to do.

Liquidation really is just paying for lessons. The biggest problem for beginners is acting quickly but thinking slowly; it’s gone in 5 minutes, serves them right. But honestly, I agree with the logic of position management—diversification is the key. Wait, making a 200% profit and still reducing positions—how much discipline does that require? Most people can’t do it; at the moment of greed, they’ve already lost.

Bankrupt in 5 minutes... How bad is that, 20x leverage is basically asking for death --- Haha, another "I want to get rich overnight" story, this --- Position management is truly a matter of life and death. It's easy to say but depends on who can resist the urge --- After watching for a while, one sentence: don't be greedy, staying alive is the real winner --- Using full margin with 20x leverage and still mocking beginners? Haha, this is the self-cultivation class for chives --- Oh my, 110,000 people liquidated, how much capital has been completely lost --- A 60% win rate is impressive, so what about my 50% win rate... is it euthanasia? --- Dividing into 5 parts and risking only 200U... sounds safe, but how many can really follow through? --- Make a profit and then run, that's the secret to lasting the longest. Everything else is nonsense

5 minutes of total loss... That's why I always say that beginners should never go all-in right away. Staying alive is the real key.

I've seen 20x single trades blow up too many times; you still have to stay alive to make money.

20x leverage liquidation in 5 minutes, this guy is really clueless... I told you, the biggest enemy for beginners is never the market, but those damn hands.
