#数字资产动态追踪 From frequent liquidations to monthly stable profits, it took me two years to realize one truth—the secret to making money isn't about trading talent or prediction skills, but about surviving long enough. Those seemingly "dumbest" risk management methods are actually the underlying logic that allows accounts to grow continuously.

**First Line of Defense: Capital Must Stay Alive**

No matter how fancy a strategy is, a single liquidation can wipe it out. This is not alarmist; it’s a true reflection I’ve seen in too many people.

Position sizing is the most basic lesson. For an account with 100,000 capital, only allocate 10,000 per trade, keeping total position below 20%. What’s the benefit? Single mistakes won’t cause serious damage, and it gives you room to test and adjust.

Stop-loss must be mechanically executed, without emotion. Close the position immediately if loss reaches 2%, don’t negotiate or expect a rebound. It sounds harsh, but it’s this "timely stop" that preserves your firepower for the next trade.

Leverage—novices should avoid it altogether. If experienced traders must use it, keep position size below 10%. Most liquidation stories I’ve seen start with a "try leverage."

**Second Layer of Logic: Comparing Longs and Shorts, Longs Are More Profitable**

The market isn’t short of trading opportunities; what’s lacking is your ability to grasp high-quality ones. A common flaw is greed—wanting to trade more, faster, or to eat all profits at once. The result? Half of the fees are eaten up, and the rest gets repeatedly cut.

The correct approach is unidirectional—pick a direction (only long or only short), stick to one strategy, and don’t flip-flop. This significantly improves success rate because your mindset becomes more solid, and execution more pure.

Trading plans must be set in advance. Stop-loss at 3%, take-profit at 5%, and don’t change them during the session. This "mechanical discipline" sounds boring, but it often outperforms those who rely on on-the-spot "flexible" judgments.

Regarding trading frequency, an interesting phenomenon—your first 1-2 trades of the day are usually the highest quality, while more than 3 trades tend to just give away money in fees. Greed leads to fatigue, which causes decision errors, ultimately shrinking your account.

**Third Layer: Those Who Have Stepped Into These Pits Regret It**

Adding to positions against the trend is a suicidal move. Every time you add, you’re not "averaging down," but actively approaching the cliff of liquidation. The math is simple, but many people rationalize losses and just shut down when losing.

Meaningless trading is another invisible killer. Frequent opening and closing of positions can eat up a week’s profit in fees. True experts trade the least.

"Should still go up"—how many have gone broke because of this phrase? If profits aren’t taken in time, they’re just numbers on paper. Many liquidations stem from this kind of luck-based mentality—telling yourself "wait a bit longer" again and again.

**Data Speaks**

Suppose two people each have 100,000:

Wrong approach: full position trading + high leverage + adding positions mid-trade + holding through losses → results in liquidation during a certain drop.

Correct approach: only 20,000 in base position + 3% stop-loss discipline + 5% take-profit execution + only 2 carefully selected trades per week → monthly stable returns of around 8%, with compound annualized returns over 150%.

This isn’t just ideal data; it’s practically reproducible.

**Final Words**

The futures market is never a casino, though many come in with a gambler’s mindset. Using living expenses to gamble on the future usually ends badly.

The real logic of making money is simple: protect your principal → survive long enough → let compound interest work → qualify for big gains.

Use idle funds, stick to discipline, trade unidirectionally.

Reject all-in bets, reject holding through losses, reject two-way traps.

Stick to these six words, and your account will grow steadily.
