Recently, I've observed an interesting phenomenon. Many veteran traders perform poorly on contracts—especially when the market moves against them. Those who should be stop-lossing aren't, and those who should be closing positions are still holding on, resulting in increasing losses.
Some people like to watch content from welfare girls on the screen, hoping to find trading inspiration this way. In the end? When the contract position turns red, they start regretting not managing risk in a timely manner.
To put it simply, trading mindset and execution often determine success or failure. Predicting market direction is easy; the hard part is sticking to stop-losses when prices decline, rather than hoping for a rebound. As for the future movement of assets like USDT, BTC, etc., it's more reliable to rely on fundamentals and technical analysis.

Setting stop-loss sounds simple in theory, but in practice, it's a whole different story.
Once the mindset of resisting stop-loss is formed, it’s hard to stop.
Even experienced traders can blow it, which is outrageous.
Discipline in setting stop-loss is much more valuable than prediction accuracy.
Analyzing charts also requires strong mental resilience.

Fighting against a single order is exciting, but getting liquidated and burned to ashes is no joke. You really need to learn to cut losses, brother.

There are many such people. They only think of risk control when the blood turns red. Why not do it earlier?
---
That's right. Predicting the right direction is just the first step. The key is to have execution ability.
---
Looking for inspiration from福利姬? Haha, I didn't see that coming.

Contracts kill without bloodshed. If you can't get past the stop-loss, you're just waiting to be cut.
---
Mindset is really the hardest part of trading; it's more valuable than any technical indicator.
---
When a big market comes, it becomes apparent. Those who resist orders are the ones who get liquidated later.
---
A combination of fundamental and technical analysis is reliable. Relying solely on intuition will lead to losses sooner or later.
---
It's even more outrageous when an experienced trader crashes; sometimes experience becomes a burden.

Risk control always comes first. Despite saying this for so many years, some people still don't listen.

Really, seeing a bunch of people holding positions and refusing to cut losses just makes me want to laugh. Clearly they should cut losses but stubbornly bet on a rebound, ending up losing so much they doubt life itself.
When the mentality collapses, nothing can be saved. Instead of staring at the charts and those messy things, it's better to focus on the candlestick charts.
The words "stop loss" are simple, but why is it so difficult to implement? I'm also a victim haha.
Fellow holders, let's unite, we've all gone through this and cried our hearts out.
Contracts are just a psychological game. The ones who stick to discipline will win; everything else is nonsense.

To be honest, I only realized after seeing a bunch of people hold their positions until liquidation that I really can't handle it.
Watching those chaotic charts is not as practical as really learning technical analysis.
Stop-loss is easy to say, but it really depends on whether you're willing to press that button.
When it comes to contracts, if your mentality is shattered, there's no saving it. I've seen through it.
In this market, you still have to rely on fundamentals to make a living. Guesswork alone will lead to losses sooner or later.
Experienced traders actually lose more than beginners, it's hilarious.
