Relying on intuition to place orders? No wonder you're losing more and more.
Many people trading contracts keep losing because of one core reason: placing orders based on feelings, with no plan.
I'm in my early thirties this year, entered the scene in my twenties, and doubled my account to seven figures in two years.
It's not luck, but a set of extremely simple yet almost foolproof methods.
These seven iron rules are lessons built from real gold and silver lessons:
First, allocate funds into separate accounts, lock in risk
Divide your funds into five parts, only invest one part each time.
Set a 10% stop-loss; losing once only costs 2% of total funds. Even losing five times only costs 10%. For profits, set a take-profit at more than 10%, so there's basically no chance of getting trapped.
Second, follow the trend, double your win rate
Rebounds in a downtrend are mostly trap setups; pullbacks in an uptrend are the golden dips for low buy-ins. Trading with the trend is much more stable than trying to catch the bottom.
Third, avoid coins with rapid rises, don't gamble on the endgame
Coins that surge short-term are hard to sustain in a main upward wave. When at high levels with stagnation, it will inevitably fall if it can't be pushed higher. Don't hold onto luck and gamble on the last move.
Fourth, use MACD signals, enter and exit without panic
$ZKC
A golden cross below the zero line and breaking above zero is a steady entry signal. When a death cross appears above zero, decisively reduce your position.
Fifth, volume and price are the soul, distinguish real from fake
Breakouts with increased volume after consolidation at low levels are key; if volume increases at high levels but price doesn't rise, exit quickly. Volume doesn't lie.
Sixth, only trade in an uptrend, don't waste time
Use the 3-day moving average for short-term trades, the 30-day for medium-term, and the 80-day for the main upward wave. Going with the big trend maximizes your chances.
Seventh, review weekly, correct course promptly
Regularly check your holdings' logic, see if the weekly K-line matches. When the trend changes, adjust immediately—don't stubbornly hold on.
Trading contracts isn't about gambling on size; relying on feelings will only make losses worse. Internalize these iron rules, execute them properly, and making money isn't that hard anymore. $BTC
