I was once an ignorant explorer, driven by a desire for wealth, stepping into the mysterious realm of contract trading. However, this is not a road paved with roses but one filled with thorns and traps. After experiencing countless setbacks and reflections, I finally exchanged thirty thousand in tuition for the following unforgettable lessons.
1. Position Control: The Lifeline
In the world of contracts, position control is the foundation of survival. I have learned that the margin ratio must never exceed the critical limit of 20%; this is my cornerstone for standing firm in the market. Every light position operation is my reverence for risk and respect for life.
2. Stop Loss: The Brilliance of Wisdom
Stop loss is the most valuable lesson I have learned from countless failures. It is like a lighthouse in the dark, guiding my way forward. I understand that stubbornness will only lead me deeper into the mire, while timely stop-loss is the key to protecting myself from greater losses. I tell myself, no matter how painful, I must decisively exit before the stop-loss price arrives because that moment of decision could be the chasm between me and liquidation.
3. The Art of Stop Loss: Stability and Flexibility Coexist
Setting a stop-loss price is a profound art. I have learned that it cannot be too extreme, or it will easily be swallowed by market fluctuations. I understand that a stop-loss price 10% or even more before the liquidation price is a safe harbor. At the same time, I have learned to be flexible; when the stop-loss price is 2-3% below the opening price, I will decisively retreat or change direction, because market changes are always instantaneous, and only by staying alert can I remain undefeated.
4. Refusing Stubbornness: The Firmness of Rationality
In contract trading, I gradually understood a principle: do not resist, do not be stubborn. Sometimes, we may fall into an irretrievable situation due to momentary greed or stubbornness. I have learned that even if I am confident in a particular cryptocurrency, I should not blindly ambush and short it in advance. Because market trends are always full of variables, only by maintaining rationality and setting a good stop-loss can I remain steady in the market's storms.
5. The Temptation of Leverage: The Abyss of Desire
Leverage, this seemingly magical tool that can amplify profits, is actually a demon that devours wealth. I have learned that regardless of whether the current deposit is in the right direction, I should not fully leverage. Because a small rebound can lead me to the brink of liquidation. I understand that accelerating is for making quick money, but since I have already gotten on the fast track, I should not accelerate further. Because haste makes waste, only by moving steadily can I go further.
This is my inner monologue, hoping to help everyone.
