The Truth About Contract Trading: Going Solo is Doomed to be Cannon Fodder
I once started with 8000 yuan, struggling countless times on the edge of liquidation. Surviving is not about luck, but finally recognizing a fact: liquidation is not accidental; it is an inevitable result of insufficient understanding.
You think high leverage is an "accelerator"; in fact, it is a "suicide button." Just like some people gamble on direction with 20x leverage, winning is accidental, losing is the norm—every increase in leverage multiplies the risk exponentially.
What’s even scarier are the hidden costs: transaction fees, slippage, frequent trades, all silently eroding your capital.
Losing money is easy, recovering it is as difficult as reaching the sky
Losing 50% requires doubling to break even; losing 90% requires multiplying by 9! How many people are caught in the cycle of "re-investment—liquidation—re-investment" until they hit zero.
Real breakthroughs rely on systems rather than feelings
I truly began to profit steadily by mastering a classic indicator: the BOLL Bollinger Bands. But its core is not simply watching for golden crosses or death crosses; it’s about understanding the market sentiment behind the "opening" and "closing":
Opening expansion (bandwidth > 15%): volatility surges, indicating the start of a trend;
Contraction (bandwidth < 5%): the market is brewing a reversal, watch out for false breakouts.
With this method, I once achieved a 30-fold return in one month. This is not about precise predictions but the victory of discipline: decisively entering when signals appear and cutting losses resolutely when risks trigger, allowing rules to replace emotional decision-making.
Going solo makes it hard to go far; what you need is a "lighthouse" rather than a "gambling instinct."
If you are still confused by trading based on feelings and repeatedly facing liquidation, what you lack is not luck, but a system that can keep you afloat. The market always has opportunities, but your capital may only have one chance. @萧哥带单日记
