The core to guaranteed success in contract trading: it's not about catching more waves, but about holding onto what you have

In the contract market, the secret to long-term profit has never been about catching as many market swings as possible, but about holding onto your profits and controlling acceptable losses.

I've seen too many people who, despite making money in the market, end up losing everything due to greed-driven reckless operations, giving back all their gains in vain.

My ability to steadily profit amid the big fluctuations in the crypto world relies on three rigid but highly effective rules, which basically mean learning to "stay put"—not making reckless moves, and not being swayed by emotions.

✅ Take Profit: Segment your profits and refuse to be rich on paper
When a single trade profits over 10%, immediately set a break-even stop-loss to prevent profitable trades from turning into losses!
When floating profits reach 20%, lock in some profits to ensure at least 10% can be taken home in the end;
When floating profits hit 30%, the bottom line is to secure at least 15% guaranteed gains.
Even if you don't sell at the highest point, so what? Real money in your pocket is true profit—don't let greed lead you astray.

✅ Stop Loss: Decisiveness is always more important than "holding until reversal"
Set your stop-loss range before entering—generally between -10% to -15%. Once the stop-loss signal is triggered, never hesitate or stubbornly hold!
Losses are part of trading; using a small loss to protect most of your capital is how you stay in the market for the next opportunity—this is the bottom line of risk control.
Even if the market rises again after a stop-loss, it just shows your entry point was wrong. Accept it calmly—don't dwell or look back.

✅ Re-entry: Don't lose big over small mistakes; maintain rhythm and avoid missing out
After taking profit and the price pulls back, if you still believe in the future trend, re-enter the position with the same amount—your holdings stay the same, but you have more cash on hand, effectively lowering your cost!
If the price hasn't fallen after selling and instead rises, decisively re-enter near your cost price—even if it costs a bit more in fees, don't completely miss out on the subsequent trend.
Remember: maintaining your trading rhythm is 100 times more important than obsessing over short-term gains or losses!

These principles may not seem "smart," but it is precisely this discipline that has allowed me to survive the big waves in the crypto world.
Short-term contract trading is never about gambling on size based on intuition, but about earning from volatility within a fixed framework. Stick to discipline, know when to enter and exit, and you can win in the long run!
