In 4 months, I only want to share 5 sentences.
Let’s start with the result: entered with 3000 USDT, made it to 300,000 USDT in 4 months; then I gave back 50,000, and that’s when I truly learned 'to escape with profits'. The following 5 sentences are my talisman earned through four account blow-ups, and today I’m compressing them into notes to give to you who are still battling in contracts.
1. Rhythm is more important than entry points.
The sharpest knife in contracts is not leverage, but 'itchy hands'. I once opened and closed 12 trades in a single day, burning 800 USDT in fees while the market remained stagnant. Later, I set strict rules for myself: open positions ≤ 3 times a day, and I must write down—reasons, stop loss, target—on paper, only after writing all three can I click the mouse. With fewer trades, my win rate actually increased from 38% to 71%. Remember, the market is waited for, not rushed.
2. Write down profit-taking before opening positions.
Don't use 'let's take another look' as an excuse. My approach is simple: set two levels before entering the market—first level for capital protection, second level for the target. When the price reaches the first level, pull the stop loss to the breakeven line; when it reaches the second level, sell half at once and set a trailing stop for the remaining half. This way, you lock in profits while leaving room for the market to run. The word 'greed' starts the journey to poverty.
3. Only profits can take risks; the principal only guarantees the bottom line.
I divide my account into two parts: 70% is considered 'coffin money', only opening low leverage with distant stop losses; 30% is considered 'gambling chips', used to test breakthroughs with high risk-reward ratios. Even if the chips go to zero overnight, the coffin money remains, and I can continue to survive at the poker table. Many people blow up their accounts because they treat all their capital as chips.
4. Don’t put all your eggs in one candlestick.
The position for a single trade should always be ≤ 30% of total capital, diversifying across different varieties and cycles, with at least three baskets. Last year on the night of LUNA's flash crash, I shorted ETH while going long on BTC for hedging; the profits from ETH covered the losses from LUNA, and my account only retraced by 3%. Diversification isn’t just about spreading profit, it’s about preventing catastrophic loss.
5. Discipline precedes judgment.
Every time I want to change my stop loss or increase my position, I force myself to leave the computer for 3 minutes and go pour a glass of cold water. If I still want to act when I come back, I will rewrite my trading reasons. 90% of impulsive decisions are extinguished in the cold water.
Let me say one last thing: contracts can take you to heaven but can also push you to hell. The true key to profit is never 'how many times you can multiply', but 'how to safely bring profits back home'. Write down the above 5 sentences and stick them on the side of your screen. When the next big bullish candle arrives, you'll have the qualification to say—'I am ready.'
