You must have heard the old suckers chant "Don’t touch contracts" like a mantra, but do you know why they say that? Because they were all taken down by contracts back in the day!
For example:
Last year, the neighbor Old Wang used 10,000 to trade spot, and now he has 6,000 left in his account. Downstairs, Xiao Li used the same 10,000 to trade contracts and took advantage of Bitcoin's 20% fluctuations three times, now having 80,000 lying in his account – the difference is that Xiao Li treated every profit as new principal to keep rolling, like a snowball.
But don't get jealous! You must engrave these bitter lessons on your mind:
1. Treat contracts like gambling, operating 20 times a day (the fees are enough to buy an iPhone).
2. When you make a profit, you want more; when you incur a loss, you want to recover it (in the end, it basically all goes cold).
3. Opening a position is like gambling, with leverage maxed out and everything on the line (the speed of liquidation is faster than food delivery).
Do you know why I am still alive today? The life-saving mantra I gained from three liquidation experiences:
Only focus on 3 types of market conditions: sharp decline rebound/breakthrough sideways/extreme panic
A maximum of 30% position each time (even if it blows up, there are still bullets)
Do not watch the market for more than 3 hours a day (the longer you stare at the market, the faster you die).
How to operate specifically? For example, if Bitcoin drops to 50,000:
First, take 10,000 principal to open 3x leverage, and when it rises to 53,000, close half of it, taking the principal first. Let the remaining profit continue to roll, and set a stop-loss line at 52,000. If it hits the pressure level at 60,000, liquidate directly.
Remember two numbers:
Principal loss exceeds 30% - stop immediately for half a month
Profit drawdown exceeds 50% - Lock in profits now
What's the most paradoxical thing about this line?
Those "masters" who post profit charts every day might go bankrupt and exit the circle tomorrow. Meanwhile, the real profit-makers are quietly following the discipline of "only opening 3 trades a month."
The choice is now in your hands:
Should we continue to be suckers, or learn to harvest using institutional thinking? Remember, the crypto space is never short of opportunities; what it lacks are smart people who hold onto their principal waiting for opportunities. #PI #BTC #ETH #DOGE #PEPE
