I've seen quite a few outrageous account changes. Turning 5,000 yuan of principal into over a million in half a year, making 500,000 yuan the day before, then giving it all back the next day—these are not unusual in the crypto world. The market is just that extreme.

There's a question that has always troubled most people: why can’t they make money consistently in contract trading? The simple reason is that they don’t know how to wait. Trading every day, placing frequent orders, getting liquidated easily—never learning what true patience really means. Waiting for the most intense market conditions to act—that’s the right way.

The biggest trap for beginners is: as soon as they make money, they aggressively add to their position. As a result, a wave of correction wipes out the account. This cycle is the most deadly. The correct approach is completely different. After the first profitable trade, the first step is to withdraw the principal. The remaining profit should be used for rolling operations, which helps keep a calm mindset and better control risk.

How exactly to operate? When earning a 50% profit, move the stop-loss line up to the cost price to at least lock in the principal. After doubling the position, always reserve 30% of the profit as a safety cushion. These details may seem simple, but how long you can survive and how much you can earn depend entirely on them.

In the crypto world, nine out of ten people who lose money are not because they don’t know how to make money, but because they can’t hold it. They clearly make profits but don’t take profits, ultimately giving all gains back. Instead of regretting only when the market reverses, it’s better to plan in advance when to enter and when to exit. Being quick to respond when opportunities come is the real skill to survive.
