Over the years, I've traded contracts, made money, suffered huge losses, and been taught countless lessons by the market.
Later, I finally understood that surviving in this market doesn't rely on talent, but on three things: protecting profits, cutting losses, and buying back positions.
Brothers, remember this; these three things have saved me countless times.
First rule: Profit isn't about earning it, it's about protecting it.
Don't spend all your time trying to catch the top; that's an illusion.
If a trade rises 10%, be cautious.
If it rises 20%, lock in half the profits; don't be greedy.
If it rises 30%, keep at least 15% in your pocket.
You don't need to guess the high point; you just need to make sure you always have "capital" to keep rolling.
The market doesn't reward the smartest people; it only rewards the most disciplined.
Second rule: Lose money faster than others.
If it drops 15%, cut your losses. Don't hesitate.
If you don't use stop-loss orders, the market will help you—but at a greater cost.
Some say "have faith," but I've seen too many people whose faith eventually becomes just an empty promise.
Will it really rebound? That means you missed the mark; you can try again next time.
Don't expect to be right every time; longevity is the real skill.
Third rule: Those who know when to sell must also dare to buy back.
Sometimes you sell at the right time, and the price does indeed drop. Don't just be happy then.
If the trend is still there and the logic hasn't changed, then buy back at a similar price.
Don't be afraid to pay a few more transaction fees. Money in the market isn't saved, it's earned through skillful trading.
The worst thing is "watching it go up but not daring to chase it"—that's true heartbreak.
Finally, I want to say:
Short-term trading isn't about randomly counting money, and hot topics aren't like the lottery.
True masters don't try to buy at the bottom or sell at the top every day; they can steadily capture the middle segment.
The end of futures trading isn't about getting rich quick, it's about mindset.
Discipline and understanding the rhythm will already put you ahead of 90% of people. $BTC
