Is it possible to turn things around? Yes, but only if you're smart.

The first pitfall is the contract. It's best not to play at all, and if you do, don't be greedy—3x or 5x leverage is enough, and the risk of liquidation is cut in half. My early lessons were profound: chasing low-market-cap coins with dreams of dozens or hundreds of times returns, only to end up empty-handed, with nothing left but regret. Later, I realized that coins with high market cap, high liquidity, and high consensus are the real way out.

The multiples may not be as outrageous; gains of 3x or 5x can extend the cycle, but they are more reliable. Truly expected opportunities only appear once every two or three days—that's the reality.

The key is the risk-reward game. Suppose your stop-loss is set at 30% to 40%, what does a 3 to 4 times profit mean? An 1:10 risk-reward ratio. It means you can lose 10 times before your gains offset those losses. The actual market ratio is more moderate, usually fluctuating between 1:3 and 1:5. As long as you're not greedy and take profits at a certain point, you can exit decisively and maintain stable profits.

In plain terms, market opportunities are everywhere; the problem is whether you can seize them. This tests not only luck but also your judgment. Following the right strategy and the right people is much better than blindly rushing in.

That's right, 3x, 5x returns are indeed stable, but greedy people will never learn.

Honestly, I've already tested the idea of 3x or 5x returns. It's stable, but indeed slow. The problem is that most people simply can't wait.

You're right, the key is still to come out alive

Can 3x or 5x make money? The prerequisite is to戒贪心 (control greed). I've heard this too many times. But to be honest, I've also tried that approach with low market cap coins, and now it's all tears.

3x and 5x are really the ceiling; the greedy ones have already gone to the hospital.

3x 5x profit, a hundredfold dream is just a losing dream. --- That's right, the profit and loss ratio is the real thing, everything else is虚的. --- Following the right people can really save ten years of detours, I am a living example. --- Contracts are like this, greed can cause爆仓 in a second and bring quick happiness, lessons learned血的教训啦. --- I will never touch low market cap coins again, deserved to lose. --- Opportunities are indeed many, but few can seize them, honest advice. --- Setting stop-loss properly is more important than anything else, this is the only way to stay alive and exit. --- Not playing contracts is really the best advice, but unfortunately no one listens. --- High market cap coins are stable, although slow, but at least not to return to the previous state overnight. --- Two or three days for a real opportunity? I feel like it's two or three months haha.

That's right, greed is indeed the killer. I used to fall into the trap of low-market-cap coins, but now I only focus on mainstream ones.

It sounds like storytelling, but making real money still depends on mindset. --- 3x or 5x gains may sound dull, but being alive is better than anything, understand? --- Contracts are just machines for cutting leeks; I've never seen anyone make big money from them. --- I agree with the logic of risk-reward ratio, but the problem is most people can't stop losing. --- It's easy to say, hard to do; market opportunities are indeed plentiful, but you need to distinguish which are opportunities and which are traps. --- Matching with the right people is more important than anything else. I agree, but 90% of the people on the internet are scammers. --- Not being greedy is more difficult than all technical indicators combined. --- I've also played with low-market-cap coins before, and I still want to smash my phone when I think about it. --- How many truly achieve stable profits? Stop bragging; most are just luck and self-deception.
