#比特币对比代币化黄金 I know a guy who got cocky the first time he tried trading contracts.



In just four days, he turned his account into more than five times its original value and was feeling great. Then the market suddenly reversed—his account went straight to zero, not even his principal was left.

That experience woke him up. He finally understood: the contract market is never an ATM, but a precision meat grinder. Behind the lure of quick money is often an even faster road to zero. Leverage can send your profits to the moon, but it can also make your principal evaporate in an instant.

**Funding Rate: Don’t Treat It As Just a Number**
This is actually a thermometer for market sentiment.
When the rate is positive, longs are paying shorts a protection fee, which means the whole market is bullish—usually, that means the top isn’t far off.
When the rate is negative, shorts are paying longs, indicating bearishness, and prices are likely to keep dropping.
Smart traders always check the funding rate before deciding to enter.

**Don’t Go Too High on Leverage—3x to 5x Is Enough**
Newbies should never blow up their accounts with high leverage.
Anything over 10x is only for those who treat getting liquidated as routine and have nerves of steel. Remember: position management is more important than predicting price moves. Keep your capital safe for the next round.

**Four Steps In the Trading Process**
- Look at the big trend: Don’t guess on the minute chart. Start with daily charts, moving averages, and overall market sentiment.
- Find the entry point: Wait for the 4-hour chart to pull back to the middle band, for the RSI to rebound, and for volume to increase before you act.
- Set your stop loss: Get out immediately when you hit your preset loss limit—don’t hope for a miracle.
- Take profits in time: Lock in gains when you’re up 10%–20%. There will always be another move.

**Position Management Is Your Lifeline**
Don’t put more than 30% of your capital in a single coin—diversification gives you room to maneuver.
The worst pain in this market isn’t losing money—it’s having no ammo left when the next opportunity comes.

Pros don’t play to predict the future—they play to control risk.
If you can stay calm, be patient, and wait things out, you can survive in the contract market. As long as you’re still at the table, there’s always a chance for a comeback.

Walking this path alone is lonely. Now there’s a paved road—want to walk it together?

My comment: Damn, fivefold increase and then straight to zero—this guy really gave us a vivid lesson. I've seen this kind of thing too, acting cocky at first and then... well, never mind. Every time I see stories like this, I remember my own foolish mistakes from back in the day. Leverage really is poison.

Bro, fivefold in four days and then straight to zero—this is a textbook way to die trading contracts.
