In the past few years of trading contracts, let me say a few straight truths.
Leverage is either a tool when used well, or a gamble with your life when used badly. 200x itself isn’t the problem—the real question is whether you’ve prepared for it to go to zero. Before I enter every time, I ask myself one must-answer question: If this trade loses, can I hold up? If I can’t, I don’t do it.
Floating profit is the most deceptive thing. No matter how happily the numbers jump, before the position is closed, it’s just the market “letting you play” with it. I’ve developed a habit: once I reach my target, I scale out in batches. I don’t get greedy for the last slice—I’ve suffered too many losses from doing that.
Does technical analysis work? It does, but don’t worship it too much. I look at K-lines, volume, liquidity—things like that. But the final decision of whether to do the trade is, in fact, emotion: when retail traders panic, I look for opportunities to enter; when retail traders rush in, I look for opportunities to exit.
For stop-loss, many people think it’s admitting defeat. But professionals know it’s about staying alive. Before entering, think through what you’ll do if you’re wrong—this habit has saved me countless times. In the end, it’s not who makes money the hardest that wins; it’s who survives the longest.
After doing guided trading for so long, what I think about every day isn’t really how to make more—it’s how to help the friends following my trades lose less. If you control drawdowns, making money becomes a side effect.
Lastly, here’s something I often remind myself: the market is always open. If your principal is gone, it’s really gone. Take it slow, it’s fine—just don’t fall down. $BTC #夏日创作营
