Contracts are like a rope that can pull ordinary people ashore, but it can also be a chain that drags you into the abyss.
I've seen too many people enter the market with a few thousand, their minds filled with the illusion of "getting rich overnight." As a result, after just a few days, they are awakened by the margin call pop-up, starting to doubt whether they are fundamentally unsuited for trading cryptocurrencies.
In fact, I was also a typical case of being a "professional at getting liquidated." Starting with 8000, my account has been wiped out countless times, and my balance has often remained in double digits. Surviving was not due to good luck; it was the result of insights gained through experience and a set of tenacious strategies.
You must understand: liquidation is never accidental; it is just a matter of time.
Many people mistakenly believe that setting stop-loss orders secures their position; in reality, it's just a "suspended sentence" for their account. The higher the leverage, the risk is not merely doubled but exponentially magnified. Fees, spreads, and frequent trades—these seemingly inconspicuous factors can gnaw away at your principal like termites eating wood.
What's deadly is that the vast majority of people focus on a single trade wanting to double their money. But trading is such that a single mistake can lead to irreversible consequences. Want to make back after losing 90%? It’s not about gaining 90%, but rather needing to multiply your capital by 9 times. That's almost like a rebirth.
My later turnaround relied on one indicator: BOLL.
Mastering its "opening and closing" allows you to predict when trends will change direction. The entry point must be as precise as if equipped with GPS, and the exit can avoid sharp declines. During one market wave, I multiplied my capital by 30 times in a month—no exaggeration—that's not some mystical art, but the result of a system and discipline.
As for how to analyze patterns, capture signals, and judge rhythms—these need to be taught through practice. But you must understand that contracts are not won through intuition; they are won through logic and systems.
If you are still stuck in the cycle of "liquidation → recharge → liquidation" think for a moment: what game are you really playing?
Understand the rules, and you can survive; learn the rhythm, and you can win.
Can't understand candlesticks? Always trading in the opposite direction?
Don't force yourself to hold on.
