$ETH I have seen someone turn 5000 yuan into 1 million in half a year, and I have also seen someone earn 500,000 one day and lose every penny the next day.
This is not luck, but the significant difference in executing rolling warehouse tactics.
In my own 5 years of futures trading, I have really stumbled countless times, and in the end, I summarized it into two words: Guard and Ruthless.
When it’s time to guard, be as steady as Mount Tai; when it’s time to be ruthless, never hold back.
1. Wait: 90% of the time is spent waiting, and 10% of the time is spent earning $XAG
Newbies in futures always feel that "not trading is losing," and they feel uncomfortable not opening a position for a day.
But the real money makers are "snipers," who spend 90% of the time lying still, waiting for the best moment to pull the trigger.
Last year, a follower started with 5000, traded every day for the first three months, paying over 800 in fees, and lost 30% of the account. $SOL
Later, he learned to "wait for the market to move," only acting when BTC and ETH showed violent market movements:
1. Breakthrough of key levels + increased volume: BTC consolidated at 30,000 for half a month, suddenly breaking through 32,000 with 3 times the trading volume, funds rushing to grab, often fluctuating 10% within 3 days.
2. News-driven trends: such as the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates or Bitcoin halving, where the trend continues to be controllable, waiting 2 hours for confirmation, earning 30% in 5 days.
3. Sector-linked rise: DeFi leaders rise first, and other coins follow, providing higher safety.
The core is "endurance."
I have a timer on my phone, limiting myself to opening 2 positions a day, staring at the K-line for 15 minutes before opening a position, many impulsive trades have been suppressed.
Missing 10 times is not scary; losing all your capital in one impulsive trade is fatal.
2. Roll: Use profits to roll, the principal is always a safety net.
The deadliest mistake for newbies is "adding to the position after making money." I once made 50% on ETH, and in a moment of impulse, I threw all my capital and profits into it.
As a result, the market reversed, not only losing all the profits but also losing 20%. Later, I finally understood that the principal is life, and profits are just icing on the cake; the two must be kept separate.
There is a saying that goes well, "A single tree cannot form a boat, and a lone sail cannot travel far."
In the market, you will never be as good as following the big team if you fight alone.
The direction has been pointed out; it depends on whether you can keep up!
