Don't remind me again today

#数字货币市场回升 To be honest, when I first got into contracts, I really felt like I had found the key to wealth.



Going long when bullish and going short when bearish, the logic is as clear as an elementary school math problem. I even calculated the dream of making ten times my investment within six months.

$ZEC evaporated completely in the account's 80,000 within three days.

I remember it very clearly, that day at two in the morning, I was refreshing my positions while holding my phone - I had clearly judged the trend correctly, yet my account balance seemed to be dropping at double speed. The red numbers were bouncing on the screen, and with each bounce, my heart tightened.

Later I realized that contracts are not just about betting on direction.

It hides a sophisticated liquidation mechanism: if the leverage is slightly aggressive, slippage can cause your execution price to deviate by several points, and the transaction fees under high-frequency operations are like ants moving their home. The setting of the liquidation line is also a hidden mystery among various exchanges. You might think you've captured the market trend, but in reality, you could just be dancing on the edge of a knife.

Watching that 80,000 slowly turn into four digits and then three digits, I felt completely numb. It wasn't just about being upset over the money—of course, I was upset—more so it was the sense of defeat from being beaten down by reality. The so-called "get-rich-quick" scheme is essentially a death game that tests the weaknesses of human nature.

After reflecting on my pain, I set three strict rules for myself:

First, if your capital is not thick enough, don't dream of turning your fortunes around; starting with a small position and learning through trial and error is the right way. Control each position to be within 10%-15% of your total capital; you can only play if you can afford to lose.

Second, the stop-loss line is a lifeline, not a decoration. I must set the stop-loss level before opening each position; if triggered, I accept the loss and will not hold on with an unrealistic hope.

Third, don't touch unfamiliar altcoin contracts. Those wild coins with daily fluctuations of 30% can be exciting, but the rate of liquidation is faster than a roller coaster. Stick to mainstream coins like $ORCA $IRYS $SOL, at least you can understand the fundamentals.

To speak from the heart: The lessons brought by losing money are a thousand times more profound than the euphoria of making money. It made me understand that being on the right path is just a passing grade; surviving is the real truth.

Looking back at that 80,000, it feels like the most expensive tuition I've paid to the market. Fortunately, I didn't recklessly invest all my principal at the time; otherwise, I wouldn't even have the opportunity to sit here and analyze.

The crypto market never believes in luck, and contract trading is even more so. Understanding the rules, sticking to discipline, and gradually building a snowball is the only path that ordinary people can take.

I spent more than half a year climbing out of that pit. If you are also experiencing similar hardships, remember this: Don't rush to turn things around, first learn not to be kicked out of the market.

80,000 disappeared in three days, this is really unbelievable. Contracts are something that devours people without spitting out bones. If you don't set a stop loss properly, you'll eventually crash. Light position allows you to survive, heavy position means waiting for death, nothing else. BTC ETH SOL are still attractive, really don't touch obscure coins. Surviving is much harder than making money.

80,000 went away in three days, this spending is indeed fierce --- Contracts are just something that devours people, I've been bitten before --- Stop loss sounds easy to say but hard to do, once the mindset collapses, nothing works --- I'm currently only focusing on mainstream tokens, no matter how exciting the altcoins are, I won't touch them --- What this brother said "surviving is the hard truth" really strikes a chord --- Ten times in half a year? Are you dreaming? I'm just grateful if I can break even --- The feeling at the moment of getting liquidated is unimaginable unless experienced personally --- Why must it be so big? A light position and taking it slow is not better? --- Looking at his review, he's indeed serious, unlike those who always talk tough --- Leverage is just an amplifier, amplifying both profits and losses, there's nothing good about it --- I just want to know how much capital I have left now --- Even if a stop loss is set, it cannot be executed. Watching the orders drop makes you want to recover, human nature --- Altcoin contracts are truly a reckless way to play --- Whether 80,000 tuition is worth it, I can't say, anyway, I don't have the capital to experiment --- Understanding the rules and keeping discipline is true, but once you actually do it, everyone is a poor student

Damn, 80,000 in three days, this leverage really is ruthless. This is the real contract course, much harsher than any celebrity advocate. Living with a Light Position is better than dreaming with a Heavy Position.

80,000 gone in three days, this is the contract. --- Stop loss is really the key; I’ve been liquidated when I didn’t set it. --- Light position, light position, light position, saying it three times isn’t enough. --- Staying alive is more important than making money; this sentence hits hard. --- Mainstream tokens are just mainstream tokens; I won’t touch altcoins anymore. --- Slippage and liquidation lines, a set of combos that make you doubt life. --- Watching the red numbers drop at 2 AM, that feeling is truly something. --- 80,000 in tuition; is it cheap? Actually not cheap, but still good that I didn’t invest all in. --- Even when the direction is right, still losing money; that’s the hardest part. --- Understanding the rules and keeping discipline; easy to say, hard to do... uh.

Laughing to death, this is my daily life, the cross talk material exchanged for 80,000 tuition fees. Three days evaporated? I can understand that feeling of being worse than dead. The contract is like a meat grinder; even if the direction is right, you have to stay alive. Light Position stop loss is really a lifesaver, it's not just talk. Now I'm focusing on Mainstream Token, I won't touch altcoins no matter how exciting they are. Only after being beaten up by the market did I realize that staying alive is more important than being right. Looking back at that 80,000, I am grateful it taught me what rules are. Don't rush to turn things around; learning how to survive first is the way to go.
