In the game of the cryptocurrency market, every day a magical drama unfolds: some people boast about making “10 times a day,” only to be pressed down by the market; some cry out saying “this is the last time entering the market,” yet secretly roll 3000U into 200,000U. As an analyst who has witnessed the alternating bull and bear markets for over 8 years, today I must uncover this truth — the core of making money from contracts has never been about “daring to gamble,” but rather “being able to survive.”
Two months ago, a private message from a fan left a deep impression on me. The voice message was filled with sobbing, saying that he followed the trend and lost 40,000U, and the remaining 3000U was his savings for paying rent, “if I lose it all, I’m completely out, going to the construction site to carry bricks.” In fact, 90% of contract players have gone through his predicament: losing money and getting dizzy, with their minds full of “the obsession to make a comeback,” the more anxious they are, the more chaotic it gets, and the more chaotic it gets, the more they lose, falling into a vicious cycle.
I didn’t provide any 'sure-win indicators', just threw him a 'survival operation manual'—not some profound theory, even conservative enough to make him feel 'too timid', but precisely this logic allowed him to showcase a 200,000 U account two months later.
First, establish a 'trial and error position': take out 10% (300U) from 3000U as 'tuition', and a single position should never exceed 30U. Even with 100 times leverage, only bet on 1% of the certain fluctuations. If the direction is right, small funds can double; if the direction is wrong, the losses are completely within the bearable range and won't affect judgment.
The iron rule does not touch the red line: the stop-loss line is the lifeline. As soon as it is touched, leave immediately; never bet against the market leaders. If you get it wrong 5 times in a row, close the software. Trading in a chaotic market is equivalent to giving away money; it's better to wait for opportunities.
Profits must be 'cashed out': every time you earn enough 3000U, withdraw half to your spot account. The numbers on the screen are all virtual; what truly goes into your pocket is what belongs to you.
Always 'leave room' in your positions: the total position should never exceed 10%. Holding a light position is not cowardice; it allows you to maintain your composure during market fluctuations and calmly assess trends.
Many people have a fatal misunderstanding about 100 times leverage: they think the higher the multiple, the faster they can 'get rich quickly'. But in my eyes, 100 times leverage has never been an elevator to wealth; at the elevator door, all you see are the 'remnants' of greed and luck. I have seen too many people treat leverage as an ATM, heavily betting on chasing highs and selling lows, only to be clearly educated by the market—the essence of contracts is 'betting small for big', not 'betting big for foolishness'.
This fan later told me that at the beginning, he wanted to 'increase the position to earn faster' several times, but when he thought of the pain of previous liquidation, he forced himself to hold back. He gradually realized that not chasing highs and lows, not being greedy for more, could instead seize more certain opportunities. This is actually the counter-intuitive nature of contracts: the more you want to win, the easier it is to lose; the more you understand 'surviving', the easier it is to win.
As an analyst who has witnessed countless people go from riches to rags, I must say this honestly: the crypto world has never been a 'gamblers' paradise' but rather a 'wise men's playground'. Those who shout 'all in for doubling' every day are unlikely to survive the next round of corrections; meanwhile, those who understand risk management and stick to discipline, even starting from a low point, can gradually wait for the wind to come.
If you are still anxious about losses and blindly following trends, it’s better to stop and think: do you want to 'gamble for quick money', or do you want to 'earn money in the long run'? Follow me, and in the next issue, we will talk about how to judge trends without stepping into pitfalls and how to leverage small funds for big opportunities—after all, in the crypto world, being alive means infinite possibilities; you can’t let the wind come, and you’re already cold, right?
