Many people think that contracts rely on courage and luck, but that's a big misconception. Those who truly make money rely on vision and discipline.
Leverage amplifies both profits and risks. In this market, certainty is always more valuable than passion.
**First Tip: Get the direction right, and choose the right coins**
The strongest in a bull market are long positions; avoid trash coins. In a bear market, short positions are the weakest; prioritize major coins—they decline steadily, unlike small coins that can be hit by bizarre rebounds and wipe you out. The entry price determines whether you can sleep well at night.
**Second Tip: Run when you have money**
Once there are unrealized gains in your account, withdraw half of your principal immediately. Also, move your stop-loss to the cost price. This way, the trade becomes a "free gamble," using the profits to bet, and the market can't hurt your principal.
**The six final iron rules**
Only follow the major trend, don't fight small fluctuations. Add to positions only at three times: trend breakout, sideways consolidation for direction, and steady pullback. Let profits run fully, pyramid-style adding (smaller and smaller later), and only close when the trend reverses. If the market shows you're wrong, cut losses immediately.
It's easier said than done; the hardest part is discipline. Contracts are never gambling; they are a game of probability and risk management. The road is long, and steady growth always beats overnight riches.

Discipline is one of those things that, when spoken about, will get you slapped in the face. Most people simply can't do it.

It sounds good, but how many can truly do it?

Discipline... You're so right. It was because I was missing those two words that I went all-in on the digital collectibles wave, and I'm still on the way to recovering.

Discipline is something that’s a hundred times easier to talk about than to do.
---
Take half of the unrealized gains and run—that’s a trick I have to remind myself of repeatedly.
---
That rebound of small coins can really trap people into life and death situations.
---
Certainty vs. Passion, the market teaches us this lesson every day.
---
Moving the stop-loss to the cost basis is when I finally feel at ease.
---
The step of cutting losses during a trend reversal truly tests human nature.
---
Pyramid-style position adding sounds simple, but who doesn’t want to be greedy when executing?
