In the world of trading, most traders do not lose due to 'market conditions,' but because of poor risk management. Markets can move by 5% or 10% or even 20% in a single day. Using high leverage without a clear protection plan can lead to account liquidation quickly. A professional trader does not seek profit first, but focuses on staying in the market. As long as your capital is safe, you always have a new opportunity.
1️⃣ Capital first… then profits
Treat your trading balance as if it were the capital of your own business.
Do not risk your entire account in one trade.
Golden Rule: Risk only 1% to 3% of total capital on each trade.
If your account is $1000, the appropriate risk ranges between $10 and $30 only.
Avoid excessive leverage like 50x or 100x. Even 10x–20x can be risky in highly volatile markets.
The lower the leverage, the greater the safety margin and the lower the likelihood of liquidation.
✔️ Always use a stop-loss
✔️ Calculate the liquidation price before entering
✔️ Keep an additional reserve margin
Capital protection is not an option… but a priority.
2️⃣ Smart strategy for buying dips
Buying on the dip can be profitable, but the market doesn't always bounce back immediately. Sometimes it drops 8%–15% before recovering.
Instead of panicking when the price drops, you can:
Open a small hedge position (Short if you are Long)
Reducing risk size
Protect the liquidation price
For example: If you enter a buy trade and the price drops by 7%, instead of closing randomly, a calculated hedge can be opened to mitigate the loss until clarity is achieved.
The important thing is to hedge with a clear plan, not out of fear.
3️⃣ Hedge with discipline, not emotion
Hedging is a safety tool, not a means to achieve quick profit.
When the market drops sharply, a balanced hedge can offset losses.
Do not close the hedge until strong signals appear such as:
Breaking resistance
Bullish reversal candles
Clear increase in trading volume
Positive MACD crossover
Support from moving averages
The goal of hedging is survival and continuity, not doubling profits.
4️⃣ Understanding market cycles
Even in the strongest upward trends, corrections between 10% and 25% are normal.
The smart trader does:
Take partial profits
Moving the stop-loss to the entry point
Avoid chasing highs
Waiting for a retest for safe entry
The market rewards patience… and punishes greed.
5️⃣ Control yourself before the market
Most liquidation cases are psychological before they are technical:
Overconfidence after small profits
Revenge trading after a loss
Fear of missing out
Panic during a drop
Always write down:
Reason for entry
Exit point
Risk ratio
Emergency plan
A disciplined trader may lose small trades, but they do not lose their entire account.
6️⃣ Additional security measures
To increase protection:
Trade with the overall trend
Watch the larger time frames (4 hours / daily)
Avoid trading during strong news without a plan
Do not put all your capital into one coin
Keep emergency liquidity
Professionals focus on staying first… then profit later.
Summary
Liquidation is rarely bad luck. It is often the result of poor risk management.
By using safe leverage, strict capital management, calculated hedging, and patience and mental discipline, you can survive even in the most volatile markets.
A successful trader is not one who wins every trade…
But rather, those who maintain their capital and continue to trade responsibly.
