#数字资产市场动态 The speed of the crypto world is truly crazy—thousands of dollars can turn into millions in just a few days, but the rate of reverse losses can be just as suffocating. It sounds like a gambler's story, but in reality, it's supported by a set of disciplined trading rules.
The contract market is exactly like this. It can make you rich overnight, but it can also wipe out your account in the blink of an eye. My approach is quite aggressive—small funds diversified, ultra-light positions, high leverage. If the direction is correct, profits will spread like a virus; if wrong, admit defeat immediately and never entangle. But there's only one premise: rules must be strictly followed.
Over the years, I’ve summarized five bottom-line principles that have kept me alive:
**First: If you're wrong, run—no hesitation.** Exit as soon as the stop-loss is hit; a lucky psychology is a breeding ground for liquidation. Those who can cut losses in time live much longer than those who procrastinate until liquidation.
**Second: Stop after consecutive losses.** When the market is unclear, the more you trade, the easier it is to step on mines. After a few consecutive losses, close the app, give yourself a day, and wait until the market reveals its direction again before acting.
**Third: Take out the profits.** The numbers bouncing in your account don’t equal real money. Every time you hit a small goal, withdraw at least a part of it. Otherwise, these profits will eventually be spit back out by the market, turning into paper wealth.
**Fourth: Follow the trend, avoid consolidation.** Leverage in a trend amplifies gains; leverage in a sideways market is a knife. When I don’t see the clear direction, I prefer to stay in cash and wait rather than gamble on oscillations.
**Fifth: Keep your position size light.** Each trade should only occupy a small part of your capital. Staying calm helps you judge clearly and prevents panic when floating losses appear.
Honestly, leverage trading is not an elevator to wealth, but a brutal survival competition. Thousands come in, but few survive. Want to live longer and truly understand how to apply these rules in practice to avoid forced liquidation? Let’s talk.

Hey, you're right, stop-loss is life... I've suffered too many lucky escapes before.
Having a light position is something I deeply understand; mindset is the biggest chip.
I only now understand the rule of resting after consecutive losses; before, I often got more eager the more I lost.
Withdrawing funds is too critical; how many people have a million in their account but end up withdrawing nothing in the end?
The difference between trend and consolidation is really huge; doing the opposite is a sure way to kneel...
This set of rules sounds simple, but how many can truly stick to them?
The difference between a gambler and a trader is right here: one relies on luck, the other on discipline.
Feeling like you're earning slowly with a light position? Actually, this is the way to survive until the end.
Leverage in a consolidating market is really a double-edged sword; once stabbed, it leaves lingering fears.
The most torturous days are those of consecutive stop-losses, but living like this really lasts longer.
Emptying your account and blowing it up are just a thought apart...
Waiting in a flat position is the hardest, like watching others make money while sitting still.
The hardest of the five is the second one, the inner demon.

No problem with that, stop-loss is really a watershed; many people fall into the trap of wishful thinking.
---
It sounds very professional, but in actual operation, it's still too easy to be driven by emotions.
---
The key is execution ability. No matter how beautiful the rules are written, they are useless unless truly implemented.
---
I have deep experience with the rule of stopping trading after a loss; frequent trading is truly a self-destructive move.
---
The point about trading with a small position is spot on; maintaining a calm mindset is the foundation for survival.
---
These five principles seem simple, but there are very few who can follow all of them.
---
Profits must be withdrawn; otherwise, you're just giving money to the exchange.
---
All are correct, but the reality is that most people simply cannot follow the first rule.

It should be noted that the five principles in this article are essentially an empirical restatement of the Kelly formula, but the author fails to reveal the information-theoretic basis behind it from its mathematical origin—obviously, this exposes the cognitive blind spot of most traders.

The phrase "wealth on paper" hits hard... The thrill of the account numbers fluctuating is nowhere near as satisfying as actually withdrawing the funds.

Hmm... That's quite right, but the most difficult of these five principles isn't actually stop-loss, it's truly being able to withdraw the money and not get back in.

Haha, these five points are really spot on, especially the one about taking profits. I was a typical paper-rich person before, and I lost everything in the last wave of correction.
However, talking about light positions is easy, but actually doing it is hard. When the market is good, it's really difficult to resist...
