《Playing with Crypto Contracts is Easier than Stock Trading? My Honest Experience》
Recently, someone said: "It feels like crypto is much easier than stock trading. Is it just the illusion of the inexperienced?" I want to say that there is some truth to this, but there is also real skill behind it.
I use a small position to trade crypto contracts and in three days I multiplied my principal by more than six times, and last time it even surged to ten times. When the market is strong, I give up on shorting and don't mind earning a little less. The operation of BTC contracts is simple enough; just focus on the bare candlestick chart, strictly follow take profit and stop loss, maintain reasonable position sizes, and repeatedly open orders to steadily accumulate profits.
In contrast, stock trading involves too much fragmented information: fundamentals, news, stock picking, speculation, and investment interweaving, slow operation rhythm, less leverage, and frequent gaps in auction prices, resulting in just a few points of profit after a long time. While trading in US stocks 24/7 is convenient, the overall threshold and interference are still significant.
BTC contracts are different.
1️⃣ Strong liquidity and smooth trading
2️⃣ Most of the time, you can stay in cash and wait for opportunities without anxiety
3️⃣ No need to study a bunch of news; just look at the candlestick chart to make trades
4️⃣ Strict risk control, small losses, and steady profits
From my personal experience, when I can't sleep at night, I casually open a few orders, which serves both as a diversion and a way to accumulate practical experience. Even if I get liquidated, it's only a partial profit retracement, and it doesn't affect the overall safety of my capital.
I'm not a novice; all operations are conducted under strict discipline and risk control:
Fixed position sizes
Strict take profit and stop loss
No greed, no chasing highs
After a few hundred orders, there are definitely losses and gains, and some liquidations, but losses are limited and gains are stable. Proper risk control is the foundation of long-term profitability.
Of course, if you are a gambler who wants to rely on sudden wealth to turn things around, desperately increasing your position to snowball, a total liquidation to zero is inevitable. My strategy is to use a small amount of contract principal as a supplement to my wealth management account, aiming to outperform bank interest and steadily accumulate wealth.
In the past two days, my funds have already multiplied by 12.3 times (with leverage controlled at 20 times or below). In the face of some doubts and condescending comments, I just want to say:
During severe market fluctuations, both profits and losses are normal
Those who value trading discipline will not be easily crushed by the market
The tuition I paid is proven by real results
In the end, why should the inexperienced make things difficult for each other? We are all exploring in this game, and I am willing to share my experiences to help you avoid pitfalls and earn more.
