Understand how to operate it, and it becomes an ATM; if you don't understand, it directly turns into a loss machine.
Think about it carefully, why do you always get trapped at critical moments? Why does liquidation happen precisely when you are most confident?
The root cause is actually quite deep: it's not the market that is the problem, it's that you haven't really entered the field.
I don't use any mysticism to deceive, nor do I sell anxiety. This set of ideas is the hard-won truth that I have gradually refined after being beaten, washed, and overturned repeatedly in the market.
Following this, the account may not necessarily get rich, but it will stabilize significantly.
The most crucial conclusion is this: the essence of contract trading is not courage, but rhythm.
Why? These two are fundamental, have deep liquidity, and their volatility is clean.
What about altcoins? With one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake, before I even realized it, my account evaporated.
**Short Position Portion.**
It's not about blindly shorting just because you see a drop. When the moving averages on the four-hour chart have consecutively pressed down three times, the market has already given a signal—it's not going to go up from here. At this point, when you enter the market, set a looser stop-loss to avoid awkward operations.
**Long positions are actually simpler.**
Never try to bottom out halfway up the mountain. Only take action when there are early low points on the daily chart combined with oversold signals, that is the real "opportunity". Other positions? They are just using real money for stimulation.
And one more thing, how many people have fallen for this: after a loss, you must stop immediately.
The pullback for the day has become significant, it's time to call it a day. The more I think about turning it around, the faster I get killed. This is a bloody lesson.
The pace of entering the market must be slow. Start with a small position to test the waters; if the market is favorable to you, then increase your stake. Those who go all in from the start are not bold, they have no way out.
**Profit management is equally critical.**
The profit from contracts comes from volatility. If you don't take profits in time, the market will liquidate you in minutes. Does a trailing stop loss seem conservative? That is actually your only moat.
Withdraw at least half of what you earn every month. Once the money enters the account, it feels reassuring. Those numbers in the account can be the most deceptive.
Finally, there is a lifeline: if your operations are unsuccessful twice in a row, immediately stop trading. Many people are not defeated by the market, but by the thought of "not willing to stop."
The current market is particularly prone to repeated wash trading. Breakouts without volume support are often traps; the lows created by panic selling, on the contrary, hide real opportunities.
Remember this: it's not fate that contracts depend on, but timing. If you rush, you become someone else's opponent.

To be honest, I've pretty much understood this stuff after repeatedly getting liquidated. The key is really about timing and stop-loss; greed will get you killed the moment it takes over.

That's really heartbreaking. How many people have died because of the idea of "turning it all around" with one bet.

Really amazing, this is exactly what a contract should teach. I used to be that kind of fool who went all-in right away, and now I think I’ve lost everything.

It feels like what was said is quite on point, but how many can actually achieve it?

Well, that's spot on. It's just that these people always think about going all in, and then they get stood up by the market.

That's right, it's all about the rhythm. I went all in two months ago, and I'm still recovering losses now.

Indeed, the most heartbreaking phrase is the thought of "not willing to stop." I have seen too many people fall into this trap, losing everything and still wanting to try again, resulting in their account being completely emptied.

Wow, this is the truth, unlike those who brag about their positions every day.

There is always a misconception: treating contracts as a gamble.
$GIGGLE is actually incorrect.
A contract is just a tool.

**Choosing the battlefield is very important.**
I only focus on two - $BEAT and ETH.
Why? These two are fundamental, have deep liquidity, and their volatility is clean.
