Family, who understands! After mixing in the digital asset contract market for 5 years, I've seen too many people earn a fortune from 'divine predictions', only to lose it all because of 'no rules'! The reason I survived through the dark markets of 312 and 519 is not due to precise predictions, but because I engraved 'survival' into my DNA. Today, I'm sharing my three iron rules, all of which are hard-earned lessons. Newcomers can avoid three years of detours after reading this!
First rule: Profit is only your 'lifesaving money' once it's in your pocket.
Stop dreaming of being a 'top-picking master'! The market is harder to grasp than a scumbag. Just when you think you've hit the ceiling, it turns around and opens a basement for you. When I first entered the industry, I watched a certain digital asset rise from 100U to 120U, and in my excitement, I went all in, thinking I'd sell when it hit 150U. The result? It dropped to 98U, turning a 20% gain into a 2% loss, and I ended up slapping my thigh all night!
Later, I established strict rules:
When an asset rises by 10%, immediately raise the alarm! As long as it retraces to the cost line, don't hesitate, withdraw immediately—even if it continues to rise the next second, it's better than being stuck;
If profits surge to 20%, decisively close half of your position! Let the remaining profits 'grow freely', but remember, this part is 'unexpected wealth', so you won't feel heartbroken if you lose it;
Once it rises to 30%, you must lock in a 15% profit and transfer it to a cold wallet! This is not being conservative; it's locking up your restless 'greed'—the market never lacks rising opportunities, but it lacks those who can hold onto profits.
To put it bluntly, contract trading isn't about 'who earns more'; it's about 'who can pocket the profits'. If you leave profits hanging in your account as decoration, the market will wipe it out in no time!
Second rule: Cut losses at 15%, don't be a 'gambler-like leek'.
I've seen the most tragic brother; an asset dropped by 15% and he couldn't bear to cut losses, saying 'I'll run when I break even', but it eventually fell to -60%. In the end, he could only passively lie flat, watching his account balance go to zero. Brother, stop deceiving yourself! 'Waiting to break even' is the self-delusion of a gambler; the market will never reverse just because of your unwillingness!
My stop-loss rule is just one sentence: if it drops by 15% after buying, cut losses and leave immediately, with no excuses! Even if it skyrockets the next second, I will never regret it—if the operation rhythm is wrong, just do it again; but if the capital is gone, you won't even have a chance to recover your losses.
Remember: Trading without a stop-loss is not serious operation; it's like running naked in the market! The market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks are survivors holding capital—'As long as the green mountains remain, you need not worry about firewood' applies more in the contract market than ever!
Third rule: Selling assets that you dare to 'bend down and pick back up' at a lower price.
Many people have made this mistake: When an asset sold for 20U drops to 18U, they hesitate to buy back, fearing 'catching the bottom halfway'; as a result, they watch it rise back to 20U and stubbornly refuse to buy, only to see it rise to 30U and slap their thighs in regret!
Please! The market doesn't care about your face! If an asset sold for 20U drops back to 18U and the trend hasn't changed, decisively pick it back up— the number of assets hasn't changed, and your account directly adds 2U of real cash, isn't that better than just holding on? Even if you hesitate and it rises back to 20U, what's the big deal about buying back at the original price? The transaction fee is so little that it can't even buy a cup of milk tea, while the loss from missing out could be your monthly salary!
I relied on this operation last year; I sold an asset at 25U, bought it back at 22U, and then sold it again at 30U, using the extra money to buy a new phone—what's the value of face? Making money is the way to go!
In the past 5 years, I've seen too many 'god-tier operations' from big shots, and they ultimately failed because they didn't follow the rules. Contract trading is not about prediction accuracy; it's about survival time. If you can survive round after round of market fluctuations, you will naturally wait for profitable opportunities.
