Many people lose money trading contracts, and I did too........
Until later, I only did these two types of trades.
In the first two years after entering the crypto world, the money I lost, if I told you, you would laugh——
At one point, even my family advised me not to touch contracts, saying it was gambling.
But do you really think the losses were because the market was bad?
Looking back now, the real reason for losing money was that chaotic chasing and killing, frequent operations, and all-in betting on my fate.
Later, I only focused on two assets: BTC and ETH.
I only traded two directions: large-scale short + key support long.
Don’t underestimate this seemingly “slow” strategy.
Last year, I relied on this.
In one year, I steadily grew my account from less than $20,000 to over $180,000.
The maximum daily loss in between was no more than 5%.
In these two years, I had one principle: the market isn’t available every day, but opportunities are only given to those with patience.
For example, last month’s ETH, the 4-hour MA60 kept pressing the price down.
Many people wanted to catch the bottom, but I kept shorting one after another, building my position in three trades—then taking profits in batches at the support level.
Some laughed at me for not daring to go heavy or placing all my bets at once, but I prefer this steady approach.
No heavy positions, no adding positions, no holding onto losing trades.
Go with the trend, control the drawdown, and once the stop loss is hit, the day is done.
I’ve seen too many people who just got stopped out and then panicked, doubling down to enter again, and lost everything.
Actually, they don’t not understand stop loss; they just can’t control themselves.
This article is just to remind my brothers who are still recklessly trading contracts:
Your lack of profit is not because you’re not smart, but because your rhythm is too chaotic.
I can’t help many people,
But as long as you really want to change that “wanting to trade every day” habit,
Maybe I can help you see some direction.
