#Strategy加码BTC配置 The fairy tale of getting rich quickly with contracts was shattered by my blood, sweat, and tears bills.



Honestly, choosing the right direction is just the first step. Half a year ago, I believed in this too — but after losing 800,000, I realized that the market isn't about whether it kills you or not, but how it kills you. After reviewing my liquidation records, I found that those seemingly guaranteed winning trades actually fell into three classic trap setups used by the market makers.

**The first lesson: The market favors those who rush in fast and get out fast**

Jumping in with full position as soon as the trend starts? Market makers love this kind of prey. A single spike, and your account is wiped out. I've seen too many people firmly believe in their judgment, only to be taken out by a reverse K-line.

**The second lesson: Fixed stop-loss is a feeding mechanism**

A 3% stop-loss in highly volatile Bitcoin contracts is just a target. Market makers love these round numbers when sweeping the order book. A fake break below, and you're out. The market then immediately reverses sharply. I was hit by this move three times in a row — watching the price rise in my predicted direction while I was already liquidated — that feeling is just like being played in front of everyone.

**The third lesson: Going all-in with a single trade is leaving your fate to luck**

Even with perfect predictions, a few reverse candles can wipe out your account instantly. That night, I stared at the screen, watching my balance go from tens of thousands to zero, my fingers icy cold.

The three rules I developed afterward completely changed my trading rhythm: diversify positions instead of going all-in, leaving room for recovery; follow the volatility with stop-loss adjustments, don’t stubbornly stick to fixed levels; if the market is unclear, stay out — not losing money is the top priority.

With this approach, I went from a liquidation maniac to tripling my annual income. In the crypto world, the real winners aren’t those who just predict the market correctly — but those who survive the longest.

800,000 tuition fees, this is the ultimate contract textbook. Looking in the right direction is useless; the key is to stay alive. Going all-in is really exhilarating, but only when you get liquidated do you realize what regret truly means. Setting fixed stop-losses is indeed a brilliant move. I've been wiped out countless times, it's unbelievable. Position segregation has really saved my ass several times; otherwise, I might still be in debt now.

Oh no, that really hits home. I've also been liquidated like that before. Getting stopped out by a sudden spike is truly despairing, it feels like the market maker is watching your order. But not closing my position has definitely saved me; as long as you're alive, you're a winner.

800,000, man, that's a pretty heavy price. But to be honest, after watching this segment, there's definitely some substance, especially the part about fixed stop-loss being wiped out by the sweep. I've fallen for that trick too, and it's absolutely despairing. The concept of position sizing should have been understood long ago, but it's easy to get caught up and go all-in.

800,000 is the starting point, and I later lost over 120,000... Really, no matter how clear the technical analysis is, it’s useless. Once the liquidation price hits, everything is lost.

Are you still daring to summarize after losing 800,000? I don't believe you, next time it'll be the same trap.
