#数字货币市场洞察 has been trading contracts for years, and I've seen friends come and go—those who stick around aren't the most talented, but the ones who follow the rules the strictest. Today, I’m sharing a few hard-earned lessons—no empty talk, just real pitfalls I've encountered.
**First: Always Plan Your Exit Before Entering a Trade** Many people focus on potential profits but never think about when to get out. My habit: before placing an order, I run through it in my head—at what price do I take profit? At what point do I cut my losses? If I haven’t figured out these two levels, I don’t even touch the mouse. Take-profit limits your greed, stop-loss saves your account.
**Second: Don’t Try to Catch Every Move** When I first started, I loved to trade frequently—seeing the candlesticks move made me itch to act. But with high leverage, chasing small swings just lets fees eat up your profits, not to mention a single pullback can wipe you out. Now, I only follow the big trends. Small waves? Let them pass.
**Third: There's No Shame in Being Flat, Only in Reckless Trades** If you don’t understand the market, forcing a trade is just giving away money. Missing out only means lost profits, but your account stays alive; one reckless move can wipe you out completely. Those who can resist trading are the ones who’ve truly started to master the game.
**Fourth: Don’t Dream of Getting Rich Overnight** The contract market isn’t a lottery. Anyone who doubles up on luck eventually gives it all back. Small, steady profits compounded over time are far more reliable than chasing so-called “10x opportunities.” Slow is fast—especially true in leveraged trading.
**Fifth: Light Positions Are Dignity, Heavy Positions Are Gambling With Your Life** The market can slap you at any time. I’ve seen too many people go all-in and never recover. Now, I never let any single position exceed 20% of my total funds. I build positions and take profits in batches—I’d rather earn slowly than gamble it all on one shot.
**Sixth: Your Biggest Opponent Is Yourself** You can master all the technical analysis you want, but when emotions take over, it’s useless. Panicking leads to reckless stop-outs, greed makes you hold on too long—these habits are more destructive than any market move. Only those who stick to their plan even when emotions run high deserve to survive in this market.

Really, I've seen too many people go all-in and lose everything in one shot; they end up worse off than those chasing quick money.

Honestly, just surviving already means you've won—that's more effective than any technical indicator.

Absolutely right, I’m exactly the type who lost my first pot of gold because I didn’t follow the rules.
Now I realize that staying alive is more important than making quick money.
I went all-in that time and took a heavy loss—I still remember the moment my heart stopped.
It’s true, after being out of the market for a while, I always want to trade, but every time I force a position, it turns into an ATM (for others).
Once emotions kick in, stop-loss levels mean nothing—that’s the hardest part.
Brother, your summary is spot on. I’m also invincible now with only 20% of my funds in play.
Great article, but the thing is, most people just can’t do these things. Greed really can kill.

Bro, this combo really hit home for me, especially the sixth point. I'm still repeatedly stumbling over emotional control.
Thinking back, I also tried that "I'll just scalp a little for some fees" approach before, but ended up getting slapped by a pullback. Now, whenever my hands start itching, I just walk away—that's how you survive.
The key is to admit you're not a genius. Most people who can survive for 3 years have already won.

Honestly, the sixth point really hit home for me... No matter how good you are at technical analysis, if your emotions explode, everything falls apart. I'm a bloody example of this myself.
