Recently, many fans have asked Brother Xia: How to turn the tide on contracts? How to operate with small funds?
Brother Xia just wants to say one thing:
The key is not to go all out, but to "extend the period."
I've lost money before, and I've climbed back up.
The following points are what I’ve gained through real money. $SIREN
First: Split the principal and trade
1000 US dollars per trade? One round of retracement and you're gone.
I’ve always been 200 US dollars at a time, gradually extending forward.
Direction correct → slowly add
Direction wrong → exit immediately
Always leave a hand for yourself.
Second: No stop-loss = account closure
You lose money not because of bad luck
But because you didn’t set a stop-loss.
Cut losses when wrong, don’t hold on to dead money.
The market doesn’t tolerate emotional trading.
It took me 100k yuan to fully understand this.
Third: Take only half of the profit, use the other half to extend
Withdraw everything? Then how do you play?
I only take half of the profit each round,
The other half continues to roll.
It’s not greed, but not wasting the opportunities the market gives.
Fourth: Don’t chase hot topics, only play what you’re familiar with
Today chasing AI, tomorrow chasing new coins
In the end, you’ll find—there’s no pattern.
I focus on one or two coins,
Over time, I can see which are fake moves at a glance.
Fifth: Three conditions met before entering
Not chasing after a rise, buying after a fall.
Volume + sentiment + structure
If one is missing, don’t act.
Better to miss a couple of bites,
Than to give away a piece of meat for free.
Sixth: If retracement exceeds 15%, force shutdown
When emotions take over, all operations are useless.
As long as the account retraces more than 15%,
I force myself to rest for three days.
Better to miss out than to act recklessly.
Seventh: Write a plan before placing an order, write a summary after finishing
If you lost today,
It’s probably because you didn’t record yesterday.
Stop-loss, logic, mentality, structure—
Write them down one by one.
Stick to writing, progress is unavoidable.
Eighth: Don’t ask if you can double your money, first ask if you can avoid blowing up
Contracts are not a printing press,
They are risk amplifiers.
If you can extend steadily for three months,
Your account will change itself.
Want to make big money?
Learn two things first: survival + extension.
I will point the way,
But you have to walk it yourself.
