Gold and precious metal contract trading is actually more friendly to many traders than you might think. You don't need a deep background; as long as you've lost or made money on a contract on a certain exchange, you've basically grasped the fundamentals.

The key is to understand three things. First, understand where the limitations of the supply side are. Second, observe the current positions and scales of both the bulls and bears. Third, calculate how high the cost of a short squeeze could be. Once you understand these, learn the rules of settlement trading again, and you'll have a place to set your stop-loss.

Compared to the pure storytelling approach of US stocks, which relies entirely on VC coin spot narratives, this logic is much clearer. It removes many unnecessary noises, and more of the data and mechanisms speak for themselves.

Only after losing do you understand; there's really no fault in saying that, contracts are just like that.

There's something to it. Compared to the story marketing in the crypto circle, precious metals contracts are indeed much clearer. --- Supply ports, long and short positions, short squeeze costs... You're right, but those who truly make money are seasoned veterans who understand the mechanism thoroughly. --- I agree with this logic. Data speaks much more reliably than storytelling. --- Getting the hang of it and actually making money are still worlds apart. --- Alright, next time I'll try your approach. Anyway, spot trading doesn't have many big rise opportunities. --- The key is still the stop-loss level. Setting it wrong can lead to a blow-up. --- Compared to the story-based pump-and-dump schemes in the crypto circle, it's definitely much more transparent. At least the logic is laid out there.

Sounds good, but in practice, you still have to pay tuition fees... I only understood after losing money.

Haha, this logic is a bit over the top; reality isn't that simple. --- Losing a few trades and then claiming to have found the way, I think it's doubtful. --- The theory of supply port and forced仓成本 sounds pretty clear, but in actual trading, it's easy to get slapped in the face. --- Clearer than US stocks? Wake up, precious metal contracts can also be used to trap retail investors. Don't be too naive. --- I believe in the data, but I'm just worried about misreading the data. --- Having a place to set stop-loss is true, but the problem is how many can actually execute it properly. --- Talking as if nothing was said; at the end of the day, it still depends on market intuition and luck.

Alright, losing money indeed helps you realize things the fastest, more effective than any tutorial. --- Supply, long and short positions, short squeeze costs... understanding these three will make you a winner? Sounds a bit too idealistic. --- Anyway, it's better than those VC coin stories, at least the data is there. --- So the stop-loss level has a place to settle, right? The premise is that you have to survive until that point. --- Why does it feel like the logic is "learn once and there's no problem," but actual operation is another story? --- Clarity is clarity, but being clear doesn't mean you can make money. --- I agree that less noise is better, but how's the liquidity in precious metals? Is it really easier to trade than spot?
