#数字资产动态追踪 Many people think that making profits with contracts is very simple—just get the direction right, and you'll make steady money.

I have to be honest with you, this idea is too naive.

The year I first entered the market, I lost 730,000 in just half a year. What's the most heartbreaking part? All my market judgments were damn accurate. Yet, my account kept declining and eventually shrank to almost zero.

Later, flipping through my settlement records repeatedly, I realized—I wasn't losing to the market trends; I was being beaten badly by three classic tricks used by the market manipulators.

**Trick 1: Impatient, rushing in too early**

When the market just started moving, I couldn't help but want to open a position. Seeing a breakout pattern, I would go all-in, only to be stopped out by a spike before I even got comfortable. What kind of thing is this?

**Trick 2: Stop-loss stuck, like a piece of wood**

Many traders are used to fixed stop-loss points of 3% or 5%, but they don't realize that contract volatility can sometimes start at ten times that. Your small stop-loss space is just a snack in the eyes of the market manipulators. I was once swept out three times by "false breakouts," watching the price surge in my predicted direction, but I was already kicked out of the game.

That was when I realized: stop-loss can’t be a fixed number; it must be adjusted according to the volatility rhythm, not driven by your fear or greed.

**Trick 3: Going all-in, betting with your life**

Going all-in, in simple terms, is putting your account’s fate on one single bet. Even if your direction is 100% correct, just a few reverse K-line movements can wipe out your balance, and the notification of zero balance will float over you. That night I got liquidated and saw my account go to zero, I was nailed to my chair, unable to move.

After that, I set three ironclad rules for myself:

1. **Never go all-in, always split your position into three parts**—so even if you hit a trap once, you won't die.
2. **Follow the volatility with your stop-loss, don’t stick to fixed points**—learn to breathe, don’t always hold your breath.
3. **Don’t open a position without a clear plan; holding cash is also a position**—the most expensive mistake I made was being forced to act.

Following this framework, I managed to escape the nightmare of continuous liquidation and now can consistently place profitable trades. It took about a year. My account then tripled in size.

The real winners in the crypto world are not those who are the best at reading charts. It’s those who can survive until the end and still smile while watching the market. Staying alive is always the top priority.

In the contract trading path, it’s easy to go astray if you just blindly work alone. Finding the right mindset and method is the key to avoiding unnecessary detours.
