The cryptocurrency contract market is a blatant game of wealth transfer, where smart individuals are using mathematics to harvest emotional gamblers. Do you think those myths of getting rich rely on luck? Wrong, they rely on a cold-blooded trading system. The reason most people get liquidated is simple—they are not trading; they are gambling.
Position size determines life or death. Newbies love to say, "This wave feels stable, go all in!" The result is a reverse fluctuation that brings them back to zero. Real experts calculate before opening a position: How much am I willing to lose on this trade? If I can afford the loss, I play; if I can't, I step back. Remember, for newbies, a single trade exceeding 5% of their capital is playing with fire; the market specializes in punishing those who don’t comply.
Stop-loss is like buying insurance. Those who get liquidated and jump off buildings, 99% of them didn’t set a stop-loss. Not setting a stop-loss is like driving without a seatbelt; it seems fine until something goes wrong. If you lose 5%, you can cut your losses and recover; if you wait until you lose 50% to cut, you’re basically done for.
The win-loss ratio is the key. Retail investors love to take small profits and run, but hold on through big losses, resulting in ever-thinner accounts. Experts do the opposite: they run faster than anyone when losing money and let profits run wild when making money. If you lose 5% on a trade, but aim to gain 50%, that’s the mathematical advantage.
The market is always right. You think it should go up, but it goes down? Don’t argue with the market; you are always wrong. Those who stubbornly insist on holding out end up as martyrs on the candlestick chart.
Execution determines everything. No matter how good a trading system is, without execution, it equals zero. Starting today, eliminate three deadly habits: don’t go all in at the slightest chance, set proper stop-losses and don’t play dead, and only engage in trades with high win-loss ratios. If you can accomplish these three points, you’ve already outperformed 90% of gamblers.
Remember, there are no saviors in the cryptocurrency world, only the survival of the fittest.
Whether you want to be a retail investor or a harvester depends entirely on what you do now.
