In the world of futures trading, heaven and hell often only separate by a single candlestick.



When I first entered the futures field, I boldly invested 8,000 USDT without any knowledge, stepping into this perilous battlefield. Choosing 100x leverage, a slight market fluctuation within just fifteen minutes wiped out half of my funds.

Faced with the constantly jumping red numbers on the screen, my heart pounded fiercely, and my mind froze completely. At that moment, I truly realized: getting liquidated is not an accident but a "special baptism" the market gives to beginners. Since then, I have begun to genuinely respect the power of the market.

No longer dreaming of overnight riches, no longer letting emotions drive my trading decisions. I gradually understood: futures trading is not about betting your life but an art of meticulous risk management.

I have witnessed too many traders' fates: making a small profit and thinking they are "destined winners," only to have their accounts wiped out three days later; suffering severe losses that make sleep impossible, staring at charts all night, ultimately defeated by their own inner demons.

They don't understand that true trading masters spend 70% of their time patiently waiting and 30% of their time executing precise moves. A single accurate operation can bring substantial returns.

Last year, I successfully captured the main upward wave of SOL using the Bollinger Bands indicator: while others mechanically watch candlesticks, I observe the market rhythm—when the indicator tightens, it signals a buildup phase; when it opens with increased volume, it indicates an opportunity is coming; I build positions in batches at the lower band, setting stop-losses at previous lows. Over three weeks, I achieved a thirtyfold return.

This is not luck or prediction, but the result of strictly following trading discipline.

Today, three ironclad rules are deeply embedded in my trading system: no single loss exceeding 2% of the account; no more than two trades per day; when floating profit reaches 50%, immediately adjust stop-loss to break even. These rules may seem rigid, but they are key to my survival in the market.

The market is never short of brave adventurers, but what is truly lacking are wise traders who can survive long-term. If you are still driven by emotions and led by market trends, please stop first—if you want to double your funds, learn how not to get liquidated first.

The abyss of trading always exists, but the light of experience has already been lit for you.

Whether to keep moving forward or to stop and stand still—your choice is in your hands.
