Having been in the contract market for so long, I've seen too many accounts go from full position to zero. Upon closer inspection, those who truly lose money are often not due to poor skills, but because they make trading too complicated.

They pile up dozens of indicators, never leaving the chart during the day, eager to precisely catch the last bottom and escape at the last top. In the end? Emotions collapse first, and the principal shrinks accordingly.

The traders who truly survive longer and earn steadily use quite simple methods.

A few bottom-line principles I’ve figured out myself: only focus on mainstream coins, filter out those with too much uncertainty to avoid trouble. Follow the market rhythm, don’t guess where the top or bottom is; just follow where the market points. Be ruthless with stop-losses, exit immediately when wrong to cut small losses; when right, let profits run freely, don’t always try to catch everything. Always operate with a light position, use the profits to grow the account, and never gamble the principal on tomorrow.

The biggest test in contracts isn’t who can double their account overnight, but who can always keep risk under control and avoid critical mistakes. The longer you survive in this market, the more valuable you become.
