You've definitely heard the old hands saying like a mantra, "Don't touch contracts," but do you know why they say that? Because many of them have been taken down by contracts in the past!

Here's an example 🌰:

Old Wang next door used 10,000 yuan to play spot trading last year, and now he has 6,000 left in his account. Little Li downstairs also used 10,000 yuan to trade contracts, capturing three 20% fluctuations in Bitcoin, and now he has 80,000 lying in his account—the difference is that Little Li treated each profit as new capital to continue rolling, like a snowball.

But don't get too envious! You need to engrave these hard lessons in your mind:

1. Treating contracts like gambling, operating 20 times a day (the transaction fees are enough to buy an iPhone)

2. Wanting more after making a profit, wanting to break even after losing (most end up losing everything)

3. Opening positions like gambling, fully leveraging everything (the speed of liquidation is quicker than food delivery)

Do you know why I’ve survived until now? It’s because of the life-saving mantra learned from three liquidations:

Only trade in 3 types of market conditions: sharp drop and rebound / breakout of consolidation / extreme panic

Max 30% of capital per trade (even if it blows up, there’s still some bullets left)

Watch the market for no more than 3 hours a day (the longer you stare, the faster you die)

How exactly to operate? For example, if Bitcoin drops to 50,000:

First, take 10,000 yuan as capital and open 3x leverage, when it rises to 53,000, close half to secure the initial capital, and roll the remaining profit, setting a stop-loss line at 52,000, and if it hits the pressure level of 60,000, liquidate everything.

Remember two numbers:

If capital loss exceeds 30%—stop immediately for half a month

If profit retracement exceeds 50%—lock in the profits immediately

What’s the most paradoxical thing in this industry?

Those "gods" who flaunt their profit charts every day might be liquidated out of the market tomorrow. Meanwhile, the real money-making veterans are secretly following the discipline of "only opening 3 trades a month."

Now the choice is in your hands:

Will you continue to be a tender leek, or learn to harvest using institutional thinking? Remember, there will always be opportunities in the crypto world; what’s lacking is the smart people who keep their capital to wait for the right opportunity.
