Can contracts really make money? Yes. But how much you can earn and how much you can keep depends, to put it bluntly, on your personal ability.

I have seen too many examples. Some people started with a capital of 1000U and gradually rolled it up to tens of thousands; I have also seen a guy enter the market with 5000U and manage to reach almost 100,000, only for a sudden market shift to wipe him out, bringing his account back to square one. The most heart-wrenching question arises: having clearly made a fortune, why can’t one just hold back their fingers?

The truth is quite harsh. Making money can inflate desires, while losses drive people to desperation. Greed and fear tug at the heart, and human nature struggles between these two extremes. The real traps often aren't the market itself.

In summary, the three points that can usually ruin an account are:

**Cognition is insufficient.** I can't understand the fundamentals of the project, and I can't figure out how the market really works; I just rush in based on feelings and gossip. Doing this is like being led by the nose by others, and you can't imagine how high the probability of stepping into a pit is.

**The mindset is full of twists and turns.** Lacking patience and determination, one wants to make a move whenever the market fluctuates, resulting in increasingly chaotic positions. When it's time to cut losses, one is reluctant, but when it's time to secure profits, one is daydreaming, fantasizing about a tenfold return.

**Technical skills are inadequate.** Judging trends often leads to failures, and after incurring losses, one becomes timid and repeatedly reduces positions. The more one reduces, the less opportunity there is, and the account is slowly worn down through repeated trial and error.

When trading contracts, strategies are indeed important, but I want to say that mindset is the bottom line. Being able to calmly review after a loss and maintaining a clear mind when making a profit, these two things are harder than any advanced technique.

The contract itself is nothing untouchable, but it acts like a mirror, magnifying both your discipline and your weaknesses. How far you can go ultimately depends on your own determination and execution.

Opportunities in the cryptocurrency space are indeed frequent, but there are just as many pitfalls. Those who can consistently make a profit are always in the minority. If you want to survive longer in this market and earn more steadily, you must first recognize your own greed and fear, and then make corrections step by step.
