#2026年美国股市展望 Eight years ago, I started with 8,000 yuan, sharing a rental with two others. During the day, I watched K-line charts; at night, I took turns guarding the trading desk. The worst time was a week when I didn't eat a hot meal. Now, my account has three zeros more. Some say it's luck, but those who truly understand know—it's the result of two margin calls, countless all-nighters, and lessons learned through blood and sweat.



Every week, I receive similar private messages of complaints: "I've had my third margin call, my wife threw all my stuff out..." Contract trading, many beginners treat it as an ATM, but they don't realize it's actually a meat grinder. It comes fast and goes even faster.

My trading philosophy is simple—divide the principal into ten parts, and only use one part at a time. No matter how tempting the market, I don't leverage more. This is an iron law I've summarized after eight years of falling on my face:

**Stop-loss must be decisive**
Once, out of luck, I didn't cut my losses as planned. After finishing a bowl of noodles, my account was wiped out, and I owed money. That moment, I realized: the stop-loss line is a life line.

**Close after five losses**
Set a circuit breaker: after five consecutive losses, immediately shut down the computer and walk away. The market won't show mercy just because you try harder. Only those who learn when to stop can survive longer.

**Withdraw profits immediately**
The numbers on the K-line are fake. As soon as I make 3,000 yuan profit, I transfer half to my bank card. Hearing the deposit notification sound, I feel truly secure.

**Don't touch markets you don't understand**
When you can't see the direction clearly, leverage becomes a death sentence. Missing one opportunity isn't a big deal; getting harvested is what’s tragic.

**Always keep a light position**
My position is controlled at 30% of total funds. This isn't cowardice, but leaving enough space for calm thinking. Heavy positions only let emotions override reason.

The underlying logic of contract trading is: opportunities for fools are plentiful. High leverage, tempting markets, human greed—any of these can push you into the abyss. This isn't a casino for overnight riches; it's a long-term battle requiring discipline and patience.

If you want to survive longer in the crypto asset market, think less about turning things around and more about how to stay alive and leave. The right methods, strict execution, and enough humility—these are the most practical wealth secrets.

That's so damn true, bro. This summary is excellent. I used to be the kind of idiot who went all-in at once, and as a result, I got wiped out twice. Now I always tread carefully. The worst feeling is seeing a series of stop-losses, but you're right—being alive is more important than making money.

Really? From 8000 to now... Just hearing this experience makes you feel that suffocating sensation. But to be honest, compared to those who boast about "getting rich overnight" every day, at least this guy isn't making up stories. The part about stop-loss hit me the most—after eating a bowl of noodles, the account was gone. That must be incredibly despairing. I've experienced this myself, and now when I see an enticing market, my first reaction is—turn off the phone and calm down before acting. A light position of 30% is quite good; although I tend to be more aggressive myself, it really can save your life. Those who are heavily invested are really playing with fire; when emotions take over, the brain just stops working.

To be honest, this set of theories sounds flawless, but very few people actually implement them. I've seen too many who say, "I also want to hold a small position, I also want to cut losses," and they talk a good game, but as soon as they leverage, they forget everything.

A bowl of noodles' worth of effort is wiped out, this is truly amazing... I need to reflect on my leverage ratio.
