#BTC资金流动性 Many people enter the contract market and fall into the same illusion: as long as you have the right direction, you can win effortlessly.



That's how I messed up in my first year.

After being in the market for half a year, I lost 600,000. The irony is that my direction was almost all correct. Only when I took out all the delivery slips did I understand - it wasn't losing to the market, but being systematically stripped clean by the tactics of the main players.

**The first thunder: entering too hastily**

The market shakes a bit, and my mind automatically fills in "It's about to break out." Immediately, I go all in.

The next moment, the main force counterattacks with a bearish candlestick—margin gone.

**Second Thunder: Setting Stop Losses Rigidly**

A fixed stop loss of 3% or 5% sounds very professional, but in a highly volatile market, it just gets precisely swept away. I was hit by "false breakdowns" three times in a row, and as a result, the market turned around and soared in the direction I had predicted. Looking at the candlestick chart, at that moment, I really just wanted to curse.

**Third thunder: Full warehouse hard resistance**

In the moment of going all in on a contract, you have actually already lost half. Even if the direction is completely correct, a few reverse fluctuations in the K lines can wipe your account to zero.

After that liquidation, I set three strict rules for myself:

1. Never go all in, split your position into three parts.
2. Stop-loss follows market fluctuations, not emotions.
3. Not understanding, feeling uncertain, feeling uncomfortable - being out of the market is the strongest decision.

After sticking to this strategy for a year, the account has tripled.

The true winners in the crypto world are never those who see the clearest—but those who are least likely to die.

You're absolutely right, Full Position is a sophisticated way of giving money to the market maker.

Wow, that's me! Even with the right direction, it's that kind of despair of losing 600,000... Now I'm sticking to a three-part Position strategy, really living is worth more than winning.

This guy is right; even if the direction is correct, it’s still futile. In the end, it’s still a game of mindset and Risk Management.

The direction was right but still played people for suckers, this is the magic of contracts... To put it bluntly, it's just that the mentality and risk control didn't keep up with the mind.

yeah saw this coming from a mile away. dude gets liquidated three times on stops then acts like he cracked the code... classic. position sizing isn't some revolutionary insight, it's just not blowing up immediately. the real tell? he's still in leverage trading thinking he's won. 3x gains year one screams survivorship bias to me, ngl.
