$币安人生 Not long ago, a fan came to me: "Chestnut, I want to trade contracts, to make a fortune in one deal."
$GIGGLE Upon seeing this, my heart tightened because that was once me.
With passion, I thought I could get rich in one deal, but within three days, my dream was shattered, and my principal was lost first.
$4 What truly made me realize was that night after the liquidation.
I stared at the zero balance, feeling like the world had pressed my head down.
At that moment, I understood: trading contracts is not a quick way to get rich; it's losing money faster than you can blink.
I flipped through my liquidation records, thinking repeatedly.
What exactly killed me?
It wasn't the market, it wasn't the skills, but: ignorance, impulsiveness, blind confidence.
Until I met a senior in the circle.
With one sentence, they woke me up: "You can't even set a stop loss, and you want to trade contracts? This is playing with fire."
At that moment, I realized that the past me was not trading at all; it was self-destruction.
From that day on, I learned only one thing: survive.
And the three rules that every newbie must engrain in their bones:
1: Leverage is a knife; you are either the chef or the meat.
I used to think 10x leverage was stable, but looking back now, it was like running naked.
If you can't handle the volatility, high leverage will only make you die faster.
The market doesn't care who you are; if you lose everything, it will liquidate you directly.
2: Stop loss = life protection.
I used to love holding positions, but the deeper I held, the worse it got, until I was forcibly liquidated by the system.
Now, when trading with fans, I won't enter a position without a stop loss.
A stop loss is not cowardice; it's a qualification.
3: The only real reason for liquidation is — emotions.
Chasing highs, holding positions, selling in a panic…
All your losses fundamentally come from losing control.
The market doesn't kill the strong; it only kills the emotional ones.
To be honest: contracts are not demons, but they are fire.
Those who know how to use them light up the kitchen; those who don't will burn down the whole house.
The market always has opportunities, but it only leaves them for: those who survive.
If you are about to enter the market, or if you are already dizzy from being slapped by the market, don't bear it alone.
Survivors in the crypto world all crawled out of the newbie grave.
The difference is: some continue to self-destruct, while others start to learn how to survive.
Once, I was stumbling alone in the dark; now the light is in my hands. The light is always on; will you follow?
