$BTC Contract “three golden rules”: protect profits, cut losses, and follow the rules.

First, learn how to “put money into your pocket” before making money.
After earning 10%, immediately set a break-even stop-loss—if it falls back to cost, you exit at once, never letting profit turn into loss.
Once you reach 20%, lock in at least 10% of profit; once you reach 30%, lock in 15%.
You don’t need to sell at the very highest—just make sure you can leave a bit of loot every time, and don’t let your account ride roller coasters.

Second, when you lose money, treat it like a “decisive severing of an arm.”
Before placing any trade, set a stop-loss in advance. For example, if you’re down 15%, cut immediately—no hesitation, no fantasy, no holding the bag.

What if after your stop-loss, the market keeps rising? Don’t bang your head—just means your entry timing was wrong, but your principal is safe.
Trading may allow mistakes, but it never allows one mistake to send you packing.

Third, if you sold too early, buy it back according to the plan.
If you’re bullish on it, buy back the same quantity when it retraces to the planned price; if it runs up without retracing, also follow through and chase it back—pay a bit more in fees is better than missing out all the way until you’re crippled by regret.

But if buying it back still gets stopped out again and again, getting slapped in the face repeatedly, then it means the current market isn’t right for you—stop, and wait for the next round.

The last hard truth:
For short-term trades, it’s the rules that matter—not fortune-telling.
Fast in, fast out doesn’t mean random messing around; chasing hot spots isn’t the same as mindlessly charging in; being in cash isn’t missing out either—if you can consistently earn your own share, you’re the winner.
Remember: protecting your principal is more important than making money; following the rules is more important than predicting.
