#数字资产市场动态 The Truth About Contract Trading: Turning 5,000 into a Hundredfold of 1 Million, Only to Lose It All in One Day
There are countless magical stories in the crypto world, but none as outrageous as this: someone started with 5,000 and grew it to over 1 million in half a year; another person's account increased by 50,000 in one day, only to be wiped out the next. This is not fiction, but the daily reality of leverage trading markets.
Having fallen into traps for years, I’ve summarized my core trading principles with real money, and today I’ll lay them all out. Why are most people destined to lose money in contracts? It all boils down to six words: not knowing how to wait. Going all-in, frequent trading, and daily liquidation—these are the standard for beginners, but they guarantee losses.
The secret to successful position rolling lies in "patience." Waiting for a truly violent market to arrive is the right moment to act. The most fatal mistake for beginners: taking small profits and then unable to resist adding more. A single correction can wipe out your account entirely. The proper approach is this—after the first profitable trade, withdraw the initial capital, and only use the remaining profit to continue rolling. When your mindset relaxes, the risk naturally decreases.
My own trading bottom line is simple: whenever profits reach 50%, immediately set the stop-loss at the cost price, operating risk-free from that point on; after doubling the account, withdraw at least 30% of the profit to lock it in. These seemingly trivial details determine how long you can survive in this market.
In the end, the issue is never about whether you can make money, but whether you can preserve your capital. Not taking profits when it’s time to do so is actively giving your gains back to the market. Don’t wait until the market reverses to regret; when opportunity arises, act decisively.
This market waits for no one. When it’s time to be decisive, don’t hesitate. To change your trading results, start by mastering this hardcore strategy.

That's true, but I just want to ask—how many people can actually lock in profits? Everyone talks nicely, but when the market starts to rise, isn't it all in?

ngl this whole "100x then liquidated next day" cycle is just watching validators get slashed in real time... except worse because you actually lose the stake lmao

No matter how nicely you put it, it doesn't help. The key issue is the mental barrier: wanting to run when you make a profit, holding on stubbornly when prices drop. If you can't fix this problem, just wait for a margin call.

No matter how nicely you put it, it doesn't change anything. 90% of people will still lose everything in that moment of greed.

Listen, listen, it's that same old "I've been坑ing myself for years" argument. Every time, I say I made a million and then lost it all. Next time, am I going to double down again?
