#数字资产市场动态 Many beginners think that as long as they choose the right direction, contract trading can achieve stable profits.

I teach you with blood and tears—that's wishful thinking.

The year I first entered the market, I lost 730,000 in just half a year. What's the most heartbreaking? All those trades were in the right direction.
But my account was still wiped out.

Later, after repeatedly studying the settlement slips, I realized a cruel fact: I wasn't losing because of market judgment, but because I fell into the three major traps set by seasoned traders in the market.

**Trap 1: Impulsive Entries**

When the market just starts moving, I couldn't hold back and would rush in full position at a breakout candle. And then? The market would reverse slightly, and I’d be washed out. I’ve seen too many people get wiped out this way— the direction was ultimately correct, but you were already out.

**Trap 2: Setting Stops Too Tight**

Many people are used to setting fixed stops at 3% or 5%. It sounds like risk is controllable, but contract volatility is ten times that of spot trading. That small space is like candy to institutions.

I’ve experienced the pain of three "false breakouts"—being swept out at the bottom, only for the market to suddenly surge in the direction I predicted. Watching profits slip away from my fingertips was more painful than a liquidation.

Later, I realized: stop-loss isn't a fixed point; it should be dynamically tracked. It needs to float with market volatility, not be hostage to your fear.

**Trap 3: Going All-In**

Betting everything in one shot means handing your account over to the market. Even if your judgment is perfect, a few reverse candles can wipe out your account. The day I got liquidated, I stared at the "0" on my phone screen, and I was stunned.

After that, I set three iron rules for myself:

**Rule 1**—Never go all-in. Positions must be divided into at least three parts, with risk per trade never exceeding 10% of total funds.

**Rule 2**—Follow volatility. Adjust dynamically based on different cycle volatilities, rather than sticking to a fixed number.

**Rule 3**—Don’t trade if you’re unsure. Holding cash and waiting for signals is also a form of position management. Sometimes, doing nothing is the best trading decision.

This methodology sounds simple, but executing it requires discipline. But just with these, I climbed out of the abyss of consecutive liquidations. In a year, my account tripled.

Those who can laugh last in the crypto market are never the geniuses who predict perfectly, but the traders who survive the longest and have the most patience.

In this market, going solo makes it too easy to fall into traps. Sometimes, a clear mindset, a proven system, and a group of like-minded people can help you avoid many detours.
