#美国核心物价涨幅不及市场预估 The most heartbreaking lesson in trading contracts:
You have to think the other way around — set your loss limit first, then consider how to make money. Many people do it the wrong way.
In the short-term contract game, it seems to be about selecting coins and judging trends, but actually it boils down to two things: discipline in stop-loss and emotional stability. Win rate doesn't need to be very high; even 60% can be very comfortable as long as each loss is within the plan. The problem is that most people can't withstand days of consecutive losses; when emotions collapse, they start recklessly adding positions. One out-of-control order can wipe out three months of profits.
That's why some traders double their accounts annually, while others keep getting liquidated repeatedly. Good technical skills are actually secondary; the real test is whether you can mechanically execute stop-loss orders when your account is in the red and signals are chaotic. This is more difficult than any technical analysis.

The core is mindset; technical skills are actually superficial.
---
Stop-loss discipline is truly more valuable than reading candlestick charts.
---
Those who start making reckless moves after losing three days in a row are basically not far from liquidation.
---
Anyone who doubles their annualized return understands one principle: risk control > pursuit of profit.
---
In simple terms, it's the courage to admit defeat; most people simply don't have it.
---
I've seen too many technical experts ultimately ruin themselves due to emotions.
---
A 60% win rate is enough to survive; the key is whether you can hold on when losing.
---
One out-of-control order can wipe out three months of profits—that's a bloody lesson.

Really, if you can't get past the hurdle of stop-loss, then don't play. I only understand this after experiencing the loss.

That was too harsh; the stop-loss hurdle really traps a lot of people.

Stop-loss discipline is really the bottleneck; it sounds simple but is deadly to implement.
