I have paid quite a few school fees in the contract market in 2025. During that time, my trading style was too aggressive, frequently adding leverage. Only after multiple liquidations did I realize — being aggressive doesn't necessarily mean making money.

Later, I gradually developed my own rhythm. The most important point is that after making a profit, you can't bet everything; you must lock in some of the gains. My approach is: split the earned money proportionally, with one part continuing to be used for contract trading, and the other part converted into spot assets or financial products. The benefit of this approach is very straightforward — even if I get liquidated later, I still have available funds to turn things around.

The gains and risks of contracts have always been twins. 2025 has become a thing of the past, and the goal for 2026 is very clear — be more cautious, and the rewards will come naturally.

Damn, this is true enlightenment. Unlike me, who is still recklessly adding leverage. I just want to go all in when I make a profit, but I ended up losing everything in one shot. I really need to learn how to secure my gains. You're right, being cautious really allows you to last longer.

This guy is really on point. I was also educated by a liquidation, and now stability comes first. Really? The result of betting everything is losing everything. You need to lock in profits first. That's right, by 2026, I need to change my temper. Being aggressive should have been stopped long ago. I was also leveraging every day last year. Thinking about it now, I was really a damn fool. This approach is good. Take out a part of the profit after earning, which is safer than anything else. Learned my lesson, but it still depends on who can truly follow this rhythm.

Really, I've truly understood this time. It took a few liquidations to learn to leave some room. Hmm... I've also gone all-in before. Thinking back now, it’s quite frightening. Locking in profits in batches is indeed a brilliant move. I've started doing that too. Being cautious really earns more than being aggressive. Keep at it through 2026. But to be honest, this market trend will once again test our mentality. Manage your positions well, and most importantly, don’t be too greedy.

Those liquidation moments were really exhausting. Now I finally understand that greed is the biggest enemy. Honestly, not many people take profits in batches to secure their gains; most are still dreaming. This strategy is indeed reliable. Being steady is the key to longevity, isn't it?
