#美SEC促进加密资产创新监管框架 Losing big on contract trading? Maybe the problem is here. $ZEC $BTC

To be honest, a lot of people jump into contracts without understanding them at all. I’ve seen too many cases where accounts go from five digits to two digits. Today, let’s talk about some of those brutal lessons.

First, let’s talk about take-profit and stop-loss. The market won’t wait for you to react—when it’s time to exit, you have to go. People ask me why they always make small profits but take big losses. It’s because of greed. You can make money in crypto, but the money in your account is limited—one liquidation and it’s game over. Before each order, think it through: how much volatility can you handle?

Frequent trading is an even bigger pitfall. Do you feel itchy fingers watching the candlesticks bounce up and down? Calm down—fees can eat up half your profits. Especially with high leverage, you’re down 1-2 points the instant you open a position. You need each order to truly make money. Want to profit both long and short? Unless you’re a god.

Here’s something counterintuitive—learn to stay out of the market. When you can’t read the trend, the best strategy is to do nothing. Many people think not trading is a waste of time, but protecting your principal is a hundred times more important than taking blind trades. The market will always be there, and so will opportunities.

About making money fast—stop fantasizing about turning it around in one shot. This is investing, not gambling. Start with small capital and slowly snowball—that’s the real path. Those who go all in with high leverage, nine out of ten end up liquidated, and the last one is on their way there.

What’s the hardest part? There’s a gap between knowing and doing. I started out as a newbie taking random trades too, and I’ve made just as many mistakes as you. But there are real opportunities in crypto—as long as you survive first.

These words might sting a little, but if they help you lose a little less, it’s worth it.
