As someone who started with 50,000 yuan in the crypto space and achieved financial freedom, I am increasingly convinced of one fact: If you have sufficient awareness of the crypto space, spot trading is a market where it’s extremely difficult to lose money.
Of course, this also depends on the person. Newcomers who accidentally buy at high positions and trade based on emotions are likely to lose; but once you have experienced two rounds of bull and bear markets and truly understand the market, you will find that spot trading is the real way to steadily make money.
📌 I've been thinking about a question lately: Why do most people who make money trade in spot rather than contracts?
I've summarized the following key reasons:
① Awareness level determines the approach:
Those who trade in spot are mostly people who have already 'found the way' outside the market.
They have large amounts of capital, are not in a hurry to succeed, and can do well whether or not they have cryptocurrencies.
So you can hold on and see clearly, and won't lose your footing due to short-term fluctuations.
People who trade contracts often have funds below $100,000, making it easy for their mindset to become imbalanced.
Wanting to reach the sky in one step or thinking of multiplying tenfold can easily lead to starting over from zero.
Leverage trading without risk tolerance is essentially gambling.
② Different cycles have vastly different tolerances for error:
Spot trading is long-cycle investment with a high tolerance for error. No matter how significant the correction, as long as the asset is of high quality, it is likely to return or even double in a few years.
Contracts are short-cycle trading with extremely low tolerance for error. Funding rates are high, stop-loss points are small, and you must judge the direction correctly within a short period; once wrong, it results in real losses, or even direct liquidation.
③ The psychological pressure difference is enormous:
Can't sleep well at night, even dreaming of liquidation.
Watching the market makes my eyelids twitch, and adding margin feels like paying a 'life fee.'
What spot trading offers is time and freedom:
Sleep when you want, do whatever you want.
Looking back, I surprisingly made quite a bit while 'lying flat.'
So the question arises: How to steadily make money in spot trading?
1. Achieve 'understand before you invest': Don't be an emotional investor.
Many people heavily invest in Ethereum, and when they see it not rising, they curse—this shows you really don't understand what you've bought.
You need to genuinely study its mechanism, logic, development path, and core value to understand where its long-term growth drivers lie; otherwise, you won't be able to hold on.
'Don't invest if you don't understand' is not just a slogan, but the first principle of surviving in spot trading.
2. Patiently waiting for the right opportunity: Don't blindly chase just because 'it's good'.
Chasing a good project when it is skyrocketing will only lift others.
True opportunities are always born in low emotional areas.
When others throw it away like a 'hot potato,' you dare to catch it steadily;
And not join the frenzy when everyone else is scrambling.
Investment is not based on emotions but on cost-effectiveness. A truly excellent hunter knows how to wait for the prey to come close.
🎯 In summary:
The core of making money in spot trading is the combination of awareness and timing.
Understanding what you buy is 'value';
Finding the right entry point is 'price'.Only when both overlap can you have the chips to navigate through bull and bear markets.
