As a survivor of three rounds of bull and bear markets since 2019, today I want to reveal the contract truths that the vast majority would never expect.
The following eight pieces of experience, earned with real money, may completely change your trading results.
— Especially the last two points, they are very important!!!
The risk you think vs. the real risk
New traders think "a 50% drop means it’s the bottom," but the overnight collapse of LUNA in 2022 and the instantaneous crash of FTX in 2023 tell us: there is no lower limit in the contract market.
My solution: Before placing any order, ask yourself: "Will losing this entire amount affect my ability to eat?"
90% of "technical analysis" is chronic poison.
I have seen too many people staying up late staring at MACD and Bollinger Bands, only to be blown up by a single spike. Remember: the market makers understand technical indicators better than you do.
The brutal truth: 60% of my truly profitable orders come from "counterintuitive operations."
Leverage is not a tool, it’s an amplifier.
Reviewing my trading records from last year:
100x leverage: average survival time < 4 hours
30x leverage: 62% of orders were profitable.
Now you know why I insist on using the [Three-Stage Leverage Method]...
The devil is in the details of stop-losses.
Setting a stop-loss ≠ safety! I learned the hard way after three major losses:
Slippage trap: in extreme market conditions, the stop-loss price may not trigger at all.
Blood and tears plan: use "dynamic stop-loss + time stop-loss" as double insurance (specific strategies can be discussed privately).
The most dangerous moment of profit.
When you have made five consecutive profitable trades, the next high probability outcomes are:
❌ Over-leveraging on the next trade ❌ Relaxing stop-losses ❌ Thinking "I've figured it out"
The "invisible costs" that 99% of people ignore.
Have you calculated it? If you trade five times a day:
The fees can eat up 37% of your capital in a year!
Remember: the most expensive thing in the contract market isn't money, it's opportunity. When you're ready, I’ll be here waiting for you.
