#内容挖矿升级 Many investors mistakenly believe that as long as they can correctly judge the trend in Futures Trading, they can consistently make profits. But my personal experience can attest to this—a dangerous misunderstanding.



The year I first entered the futures trading market, I lost 730,000 in just six months. Ironically, in those failed trades, my predictions about the market direction were almost entirely correct, yet I still suffered a complete loss.

After reviewing my trading records, I found that I was not defeated by market volatility, but rather fell into three traps set by market manipulators.

Trap one: Acting too hastily.
As soon as the market shows any movement, I can't wait to enter; I go all in when I see the price break through a certain level, but often I find myself facing severe price fluctuations and getting forcibly liquidated right after entering.

Trap 2: Improper Stop Loss Strategy.
Most traders are used to setting fixed stop-loss points of 3% or 5%, but in the futures trading market with ten times leverage, this margin is negligible for the market makers.

I was once consecutively taken out by so-called "false breakouts" or "false breakdowns" three times, and then I watched helplessly as the price moved strongly in the direction I had originally predicted, while I was already out.

Later I understood: effective stop-loss should not be a fixed point, but should be dynamically adjusted according to market fluctuations, rather than following short-term emotional swings.

Trap Three: Over-leveraging Risk.
Investing all your funds at once is equivalent to handing over your fate completely to the market. Even if you judge the overall direction correctly, as long as there are a few K-line fluctuations in the opposite direction along the way, your account will also face the risk of being wiped out.
I have experienced the pain of having my account balance reduced to zero during a liquidation; that feeling can instantly paralyze you.

After experiencing these lessons, I have set three iron rules for myself:
First, never be fully invested; manage your funds by dividing them into at least three parts.
Second, flexibly adjust the stop-loss strategy according to market fluctuations, rather than sticking to fixed points.
Third, maintain a wait-and-see approach when the market is unclear, considering short positions as a positional strategy.

After adhering to these principles, I transformed from frequent liquidation to stable profits, and my account value tripled within a year.

In the cryptocurrency market, the ones who ultimately succeed are not those who are often correct in their judgments, but those who can survive amidst market fluctuations.

The risk is always present like an abyss, and I can only provide limited guidance. Whether to adopt and change trading methods is up to each trader.
