#特朗普撤销欧盟关税威胁 The first day entering the crypto world, treat "staying alive" as the goal; making money comes afterward.
In contracts like $RIVER, there's one common pitfall for beginners: failing to see the bigger picture and risking all their funds at once. Before understanding market rules, their accounts are already wiped out.
How to break this cycle? Three steps:
**Diversify your firepower.** If you have 1000 USDT in your account, split it into ten parts. Only use 100 USDT for each operation, and keep the remaining 900 USDT in cold storage. This 900 USDT isn't emergency funds—it's the cost of reflection and adjustment. After losing two or three times, you'll start to understand where you went wrong.
**Maintain your bottom line.** For each 100 USDT operation, the maximum single-loss limit is 2% of your total funds. If you lose three times in a row? Close the software and take a forced two-day break. This isn't quitting; it's about living long enough. When making profits, don't be greedy—take some profits off the table and turn paper gains into real money.
**Wait for the wind.** Most of the time in the contract market, your patience is being tested—sideways trading, volatility, uncertain direction. At these times, do nothing. True opportunities often come when everyone else is exhausted, and because you’ve saved ammunition, you can strike at the critical moment.
Many ask, "How can I turn things around?" The answer is simple: when you stop rushing to turn things around.
Remember this— in the contract market, the ones who last the longest are never the most aggressive, but those who know how to survive. Bull markets will cycle, but your principal may not last that long. Stay alive first, then win.

Really speak honestly, don't put all your eggs in one basket. When I first entered the crypto world, my account was hacked twice before I understood this principle.

There's nothing wrong with that, but how many people can actually do it... Most people just like the post after reading, then turn around and go all in again.

Really, this is the survival rule of the crypto world. I've seen too many newbies go all-in and then have their accounts wiped out.

Damn, this sounds like a last words, but it really hit the mark. The 900U cold storage isn't just emergency funds—I need to write it down and post it in the office.

actually... the 2% rule hits different when you've already blown up once. reminds me of UST in May—everyone thought they were diversified until they weren't. statistically speaking, most contracts traders violate position sizing within their first week, correlation with liquidation is basically 1.0.

Damn, isn't this my blood, sweat, and tears? I went all-in on $RIVER and was completely sleepwalking back then.
