In the contract market, most people losing money actually don't have a problem with their skills—it's about overcomplicating things. A bunch of indicators stacking up, increasing trading frequency, constantly pondering how to precisely buy the dip and sell at the top, ultimately leading to emotional breakdowns and shrinking accounts.
Traders who can survive long-term and continue to profit tend to use very disciplined strategies:
**Only trade mainstream coins** — risk screening must be strict **Follow the trend, not against it** — go where the market is headed, don't guess **Set stop-loss quickly and decisively** — admit mistakes immediately, control small losses **Always operate with light positions** — use profits to compound, don't gamble with the principal
The essence of contracts is not a gamble to get rich overnight, but rather about who can better control risk and make fewer mistakes. Frankly, surviving long enough already means you've won against many others. In this market, the length of survival determines the final returns.

Basically, greed kills people. Those who are always thinking about perfectly bottoming out have already bought the dip.

Honestly, I'm the kind of person who overcomplicates things as a negative example haha. Now I realize that keeping a small position is the real way to survive longer.

Hey, you're so right. I used to be that kind of fool with indicators all over the screen, and in the end, my account was gone.

Really, no matter how many indicators there are, they can't save a heart that just wants to get rich. I've seen too many people who look at a dozen indicators every day, and in the end, they all lose money. It's better to honestly follow the trend and trade lightly to survive.
