Recently, I’ve been also trading margin contracts based on the spot DUSKUSDT, and today I opened another $20 position. Honestly, this kind of self-exploration approach is quite interesting—although I often sell before a rally and buy before a dip, I’ve managed to figure out some strategies along the way.

Contract trading is like walking on a knife’s edge. The key is to have a stop-loss mindset and not get caught off guard by market reversals. I’ve seen too many loss cases where their investment approach was actually the opposite of what they should do.

For long-term goals, I’ve set a phased plan for January 2026: starting from $100, gradually increasing to $200, $400, $600, $800, $1000, and ultimately aiming for $10,000. This isn’t something that happens overnight; every step must be steady and deliberate.

Contracts aren’t afraid of losses; greed is. Planning the entry and exit logic for each trade is much more rational than blindly chasing gains or cutting losses.

Spending 20 yuan to open a order... It seems like testing for some vulnerability, but most people's trading logic should indeed be done the other way around.

Haha, starting with $20 and aiming for a $10,000 dream—your ambition is impressive. --- The awareness of stop-loss is really top-notch. I've seen too many people greedily get blown up by reversals. --- Figuring things out on your own is indeed interesting, but it's easy to develop into a high-level leek farmer haha. --- The plan for 2026 is quite detailed; the key is whether I can make it that far. --- The phrase "doing the opposite" really hit the mark. Most people indeed tend to go against the trend. --- Trading contracts is really a test of mentality. Stay steady and don't be reckless.

Haha, buy before the rise and sell before the fall—that's our daily routine.

Haha, this rhythm feels a bit familiar. I also often buy at the highest point and sell at the lowest point.

The feeling of selling high and buying low really requires careful consideration over time.

Buy before the rise and sell before the fall—that's my daily routine haha Starting with $20, aiming for $10,000, sounds pretty dreamy Stop-loss awareness is really a matter of life and death; otherwise, I would have been wiped out long ago

Hmm, opening a position with $20 is quite bold. I need to learn from your insight.

Haha, you dare to open a position with just $20? That's quite bold. I'm still in the exploration stage.
