When many people talk about contract trading, their first reaction is: difficult, high risk, easy to liquidate. But in my years of practical experience, I found that the ones who really make money are not those whose charts are filled with technical indicators, but those who can understand structure, catch the right rhythm, and execute effectively.
In my contract trading, I don't rely on complex systems or mysterious signals. My trading system is very simple: only one direction, one structure, one rhythm.
Using this, I stabilized my capital to 5 times within 7 days, not by gambling, but by a complete set of repeatedly refined models.
My trading method consists of only three rules:
Trade short-term along market sentiment.
No predictions, no counter-trend, only trade in the direction that the current market has already made clear.
Strictly enter at structural points.
Understand the structure, wait for trend confirmation before taking action.
Do not fight single trades, do not add to positions, and do not fantasize about doubling.
For each trade, seek efficiency, do not be greedy, first protect profits, then consider adding to positions.
A real case: ETH trend-following rolling position.
Last week, ETH broke through the platform, with 15-minute candlesticks continuously climbing and increasing in volume. I judged that the sentiment was being released, and immediately chased long positions with a light position to test.
The market quickly surged, and I took half of my profits to lock in gains. Subsequently, ETH slightly retraced without breaking the previous support, and I added to my position when it stabilized during the pullback.
As the market started its third wave, I exited directly, going with the trend, without pressure or hesitation.
No bottom fishing, no hard resistance, and no full positions hoping for a double.
But every step has logic, and every trade has a plan.
Why do you always lose?
To put it simply, it's not that you're not smart, nor that you haven't looked at candlesticks, but rather:
If you can't understand the structure, you won't know 'when to enter and when to wait'.
Without a sense of rhythm, chasing when the market is fast, panicking when it's slow, not knowing when to enter or exit.
Chaotic positions, no stop-loss, betting on emotions rather than plans.
I have guided too many friends who lost money; some have been liquidated more than ten times, and some have lost hundreds of thousands. They do not lack enthusiasm; what they lack is a 'practical execution system'.
What I teach them consists of only two things:
15-minute candlestick structure recognition: Learn to judge whether the trend is valid, no longer guess tops and bottoms.
Trend-following rolling position strategy: confirm the trend → test entry → add to position on pullback → take partial profits.
This way, they gradually recovered from a liquidation state. It's not about luck, but about 'rhythm + execution'.
To summarize in one sentence:
A single trend-following structural trade can outperform six months of frequent trial and error.
Stop relying on emotional trading.
Only trade in clearly defined structural segments, strictly control position size, pace, stop-loss, and adding to positions, and you will naturally discover:
Making money doesn't have to be quick, but it must be steady.
In the cryptocurrency world, what truly helps you turn your situation around is not luck, but understanding and discipline.
