I learned something by doing contracts with a newbie in the crypto world #数字资产市场洞察 .



The day before yesterday, a friend sitting opposite me threw a sentence at me:
"The last time I did a trade with someone, I almost lost everything."
In the crypto market, you can hear this sentence a hundred times.

He actually has placed orders before, and it's not that he lacks courage; the real problem is only one – when trading, there’s no one around to help him manage the risks.

Later, he gathered the courage to find me and said just five words:
"Can you help me turn the situation around?"
I didn't promise him any big dreams, nor did I suggest he go all in to turn things around. What I did was one thing: explain the trading discipline thoroughly and set the stop-loss line in advance.

This time in the contract operation, how did we do it:
Light position entry
Confirm direction near 4.3
Set the stop-loss position first.
What I focus on is the structural patterns, not the emotions caused by market fluctuations.

The market has been a bit twisted, and it even surged to 4.6 in between. He couldn't sit still and asked me if I had misread it.

I just asked him one question:
"Is your stop-loss still there?"

He said yes. I said: That's enough.

The results of the upcoming developments are clear to everyone. The price has fallen, and the profits in the account have virtually disappeared. This is the most comfortable and secure income he has had in his contract career.

His original words are:
"This time I made the most money."
"I really don't know how to express my gratitude."

Actually, there's nothing to be thankful for. To be honest:

The crypto trading market is never lacking, what is truly lacking is:
Someone is holding your hand when you want to heavily invest.
Someone forces you to set a stop loss before opening a position.
Just because someone tells you that you are trapped doesn't mean the game is over; the opportunity to turn things around will always come.

I can never guarantee that you will make a profit on every trade, but I will firmly adhere to one principle: as soon as you are wrong, immediately accept the loss and never hold on stubbornly. The money you win must always be taken out.

Many people think that bringing others into trading relies on shouting about market trends and recommending coins. In fact, the core skill is something else—pulling people back from the edge of the abyss at that moment when they are most easily consumed by greed and most eager to go all in.

Whether you can turn things around never depends on how bold you are, but rather on whether there are people around you who can support you at critical moments.

That's not wrong, but very few people can actually execute a stop loss; most just agree verbally while their actions tell a different story.

To be honest, stop loss is really a matter of life and death; it's not optional. I've seen too many people get liquidated because no one pumped them up, which is really infuriating.

To be honest, stop loss is the lifesaver, not those flashy analyses. Light Position, discipline, and accepting losses—these three words are worth more than any technical analysis.
