Contracts have never been a place to gamble recklessly for me; frankly, it's just a tool—if you know how to use it, it becomes an ATM; if not, it turns into a debt repayment system.
Have you ever wondered: why do you always get pierced by a needle? Why does liquidation always happen when you're most confident? The answer is actually very painful—it's not that the market has a problem, but that you haven't even entered the door yet.
I don't talk about metaphysics, nor do I sell anxiety. This method is a set of hard rules I developed after being beaten down, shaken out, and overturned in the market. Follow them, and your account may not become wildly rich, but it will definitely stabilize significantly.
**Fighting in contracts is never about courage, but about rhythm.**
**Rule 1: Only trade BTC and ETH**
These are the foundations. They have enough liquidity and clean volatility. Altcoins are different—they accelerate and brake unpredictably, and before you realize it, you're gone. Instead of betting on luck with altcoins, it's better to refine your skills on mainstream coins.
**Rule 2: Short positions are not to be taken at the first sign of a decline**
Wait until the four-hour moving averages are repeatedly pressed down more than three times—that's the market telling you—it's not going higher. Only then, when you act, loosen your stop-loss a bit, so your operations won't be awkward. Many people see a downward candle and rush to short, only to be swept out by a rebound.
**Rule 3: Never chase longs halfway up**
A daily low plus oversold signals—that's a real "trap." Other positions? They're all gambles for feelings. Sitting halfway up looks comfortable, but in reality, it's where the most people take over the high positions.
**Rule 4: Stop loss immediately after a loss**
If there's a big retracement in a day, stop right away. The more you try to recover, the faster you'll die. This isn't negativity; it's being responsible for yourself. The market is never short of opportunities; what's missing is how much capital you still have when the opportunity arrives.
**Rule 5: Enter slowly, add precisely**
Start with a small position to test the waters, then add when the market shows friendliness. Those who go all-in immediately are not brave—they simply leave no retreat for themselves.
**Rule 6: Actively manage profits**
Contracts profit from volatility; if you don't take profits, the market will eventually liquidate you. Moving stop-losses to lock in gains isn't conservative—it's your only moat.
**Rule 7: Withdraw regularly to your wallet**
At least half of your earnings should be withdrawn. The numbers in your account can be deceptive, but what's in your wallet is real. This is mental preparation and risk management.
**Rule 8: Stop after two consecutive losses**
Many people lose to the market? No, they lose because they refuse to stop. Once rhythm is broken, the more you do, the more mistakes you make. The market now loves to shake out repeatedly—breakouts with insufficient volume are often traps, but panic lows may actually be opportunities.
**Final words: Contracts are not about risking everything; it's about timing. If you panic, you become the best gift to your opponent.**

That's right, but execution is too difficult, and I still tend to be repeatedly washed out.

Article 8 at the top, make two mistakes in a row and you'll have to stop; this is the secret to lasting longer.

That's so right; these few points are the bottom line for survival.

That's so true. The worst are those who go all-in with their entire position and still want to turn the tide.

Well... it's quite heart-wrenching, but I still have to keep risking it.
