For fren doing Futures Trading, I want to share some real experiences.
This is not some mysterious trick, nor is it a market secret; it is the experience of surviving through the volatility of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies over the years. I have come this far with a small amount of capital, relying not on good luck, but on a set of seemingly clumsy, yet truly effective trading principles that can help you survive.
**First point: Being ruthless is fine, but being reckless is not.** Small capital must be divided. Treat each order as an experiment rather than a final battle. If the price moves in your direction, let the market reward you; if it goes against you, immediately stop loss and exit. Don't go against the market; that's the fastest way to lose money.
**Second point: Stop loss must be quick.** Don't wait, don't fantasize, don't procrastinate. Once the market doesn't move according to your thoughts, every additional second you hold on increases the risk exponentially. In the Futures Trading market, hesitation is the most expensive tuition. Liquidity changes in an instant, and your paper losses can quickly turn into real liquidation.
**Third point: Stop when you keep losing.** It's not that your skills are lacking, it's that your state of mind has already collapsed. Continuing to trade is equivalent to making trades based on emotions. The smartest thing to do at this point is to turn off your phone, walk away from the screen, and come back when your mind is clear. Those who have lost three times in a row often blow up their account on the fourth trade.
**Fourth point: Profits must be realized.** The numbers in your account don't count; only what you withdraw to your wallet is yours. Many people haven't just lost money; they've earned it and then given it all back. The greed during profitable times is the fuse for account explosions.
**Point Five: Only trade with directional markets.** Trends are your fren, and volatility is your enemy. If you don't understand it, don't act. Missing out once is fine, but being worn out back and forth is the real way to die. Within Bitcoin's large fluctuations, there are opportunities.
**Point Six: Position must be strictly controlled.** Small position trial and error, you can continue even after many failures. Those traders who truly survive in the market for the long term are never all-in people, but disciplined executors who adhere to the rules.
Futures Trading is not a showcase, nor is it a tool for turning things around; it is a long-term game. When you truly execute these rules and turn off your emotions, making money becomes a natural result.

To be honest, I’ve been using this logic for ten years, back when not many people understood it. Now the funniest thing is, everyone knows about it, but among the ten people who can actually execute it properly, not a single one is doing so. They all want to go all-in and turn things around. The tuition fees for my three kids are paid with the profits from these naive investors.

Really, I have to admit that I've suffered too many losses in terms of stop loss, but now I've learned to be smarter.

The stop loss part is really, too many people can't understand it, and they all end up losing because they can't let go at that moment.

Ha, really, I have the most say on stop loss. Previously, it was all just dragging on, and I lost half a year's worth of gains in one go.
It's true that most people can't really do it. I've seen people lose three times in a row and still stubbornly hold on.
The saying about taking profits is too painful. The biggest profit I once made was completely lost when I took the opposite position. Now I just run as soon as I make a profit.
If you don't understand it, don't act. This should be ingrained in your mind; it's more effective than any Technical Analysis.
When the position is small, it really is easy. I've long given up on the All in strategy; it's pointless.
