The harshest reality in the crypto world is right in front of us: some people turn 5,000 yuan of principal into over a million through sheer perseverance, while others make a 500,000 yuan profit in one day only to have their accounts wiped out the next. This is not a joke; it’s a true reflection of the market.



Why do some keep losing in contracts? The root cause is actually one thing—failing to grasp the importance of the word "waiting."

Most people engage in high-frequency trading daily, frequently getting liquidated, unaware that the true essence of compounding is to lie low and wait. Only when the most violent market movements occur should you take action—that’s the rule of the game. The most common trap for beginners is to start increasing their positions after making some profit, only to be wiped out in a subsequent correction. It sounds familiar, but when it happens to you, you realize how painful it is.

My reliable strategy is this: after the first profitable trade, immediately withdraw the entire principal. Use only the pure profit for subsequent rolling operations. There are two benefits to this—your mindset remains stable, and the risk is firmly locked within a controllable range.

The specific execution standard is: once profits reach 50%, immediately move the stop-loss line up to the cost price. This can completely eliminate the possibility of losses. Once you double your gains, withdraw at least 30% of the profit as a safety cushion. These seemingly insignificant details, the earlier you master them, the longer you can survive in the crypto circle.

The most critical point is: most people don’t lose money because they can’t make money, but because they can’t hold it. Profits are not taken in time, and sooner or later, everything earned will be given back. When the market reverses, you only regret it too late. Opportunities in the market never wait, and hesitation when it’s time to act only leads to missed chances.

If you’re still struggling, it’s better to thoroughly understand this set of logic and follow a mature trading framework, so you won’t be thrown into chaos by every fluctuation.

That's right, the real problem is not being able to hold on.

It sounds good, but how many can actually do it? I've seen too many people shouting "take profit" with their mouths, but their fingers just can't stop.

To be honest, I'm the kind of person who wants to add to their position whenever I make a profit, but I always suffer heavy losses...

To be honest, taking profits sounds easy, but it's really hard to actually do.

That's right, it's all about execution. The topic generates a lot of discussion... I find that most people simply can't do it.

lmao the 50% stop loss move is literally just delta hedging with extra steps. if you're not optimizing your exit calldata to compress those basis points, you're leaving money on the table fr fr
