#美国就业数据表现强劲超出预期 Contract trading is not as simple as you think $BTC $ETH



For traders losing money, this article might be helpful. I’ve summarized my years of experience into these points:

**Stop profit and stop loss are a must**
Market changes rapidly, greed makes people lose money the fastest. Taking profits is to prevent greed, and stop loss is to admit defeat. The crypto world is tempting, but a small mistake can wipe out your account. Every trade should leave room for reasonable volatility.

**Frequent trading is a fast track to being weeded out**
Trading too often won’t make you money; instead, trading fees eat into your profits. High leverage can cause a 1-2% loss with each trade. It’s better to wait for confirmed opportunities than to buy and sell frequently.

**Don’t trade if you don’t understand**
This is the hardest to learn. The market is very tricky; sometimes holding no position requires stronger mental resilience. Impulsive actions are often the most costly.

**Steady growth with small amounts**
Want to turn your account around overnight? Don’t dream about it. Real gains come from long-term accumulation, gradually increasing profits through moderate leverage and small-scale trial and error.

**Don’t go all-in with high leverage**
Leverage of ten or twenty times is like gambling with your life. When the market reverses, your principal can disappear instantly. Stay calm; any luck-based mindset will come at a price.

**Knowledge must be applied**
Talking about theory and actual trading are two different things. Even experienced traders sometimes can’t execute perfectly.

Honestly, when I first entered the space, I was a rookie too—didn’t understand the rules and opened trades recklessly, paying a lot of tuition fees.

But over these years, I’ve gradually understood the logic of this market.

I hope you won’t repeat my mistakes after reading this, and can navigate the crypto trading path more steadily.

You are right, frequent operations are indeed a suicidal behavior, the transaction fees can be crippling.

ngl the "don't overtrade" part is literally just efficient frontier optimization dressed up as wisdom... most retail just lack the discipline to sit in cash when spreads are garbage anyway

Setting stop-loss and take-profit is correct, but when it comes to actually executing, there’s still trembling hands—that’s human nature.

No problem with what you said, but the execution is really outstanding... I'm the kind of person who understands after reading, but forgets everything once I get started.

It's the same old story again. I've heard about take profit and stop loss a hundred times, but the key is that I can't execute it, buddy.

The thing about stop-losses, everyone is right but just can't do it. I am the opposite example myself, haha.
