In the eyes of the group I once led,
contracts have never been a place to gamble with lives.
It's just a tool
If you know how to use it, it's an ATM;
If you don't, it's a debt repayment system.
Think carefully,
why are you always pierced by a needle?
Why does liquidation always happen when you are most confident?
The truth is actually quite painful:
It's not the market that's bearish; it's you who hasn't entered the door.
I'm not going to talk about metaphysics with you, nor sell anxiety.
These are the hard rules I've honed after being hit, washed out, and overturned in the market.
If you follow them, your account may not necessarily become wealthy, but it will stabilize significantly.
I'll start with the conclusion:
In contracts, it's not about courage, but about rhythm.
First, let's talk about choosing the battlefield.
I only touch two — BTC, ETH.
These two are the foundation; they have enough liquidity and clean volatility.
Altcoins? With one foot on the gas and the other on the brake,
before you even react, you're already out.
Now let’s talk about short positions.
Don't short just because the price drops.
On the four-hour level, if the moving averages press down three times,
the market has already told you: it can't go up.
At this point, if you enter, loosen your stop loss,
so your operations won't feel awkward.
Long positions are even simpler.
Don't catch the midway.
Daily low + oversold,
that’s the “pit”,
other positions are just trading life for feelings.
And there's one more rule that many people die from:
If you're losing, stop first.
If there's a large pullback in a day, immediately pull back.
The more you try to recover, the faster you die.
Entering the market must be slow.
First, small positions to test the waters,
If the market is friendly to you, then add more.
Those who go all in right away,
are not bold, but have no way out.
Profits must be managed.
Contracts earn from volatility,
If you don't take the profits, the market will definitely liquidate you.
Trailing stop losses are not conservative,
They are your only moat.
Every month, withdraw at least half of what you've earned.
Once the money is in your pocket, your heart will be steady.
The numbers in your account are the easiest to deceive.
And here's the last rule, which is also a lifesaver:
If you have two consecutive failures, stop immediately.
Many people don’t lose to the market,
They lose to “not willing to stop”.
In this kind of market,
The tendency is to wash repeatedly.
Breakouts that can't keep up with volume,
Are often traps;
The lows created in panic,
Are instead opportunities.
Remember one thing:
Contracts are not about desperation; it's about timing.
If you rush,
It becomes a gift for your opponents.
