On a leading exchange platform, there is a feature that allows users to observe trading experts, enabling ordinary people to see the real-time operations of seasoned traders. By analyzing their data, you will find that there are strategies behind market fluctuations—not just luck, but a methodology.



Recently, there is a trader in the community called Dongbi Mao, who has achieved impressive results. In November and December 2025, he dominated the charts: first on the weekly leaderboard, second on the daily, third on the monthly in November, and multiple first places on the daily in December, also ranking high among the top traders of the year. He earned approximately 15 million in two months, which indicates growth on a large capital scale, showing it’s not small-scale trading.

This guy mainly trades BTC and ETH contracts, and also looks at traditional assets like gold and silver to gauge the overall trend. His trading style is trend-following, in simple terms, waiting for the market to clearly define its direction before taking action, focusing on candlestick patterns and volume-price relationships.

Looking at his recent operations: he built a long position around $88,000 on BTC, and also has a long bias on ETH, with some positions held for quite a while. The key is, during consolidation periods, he stays on the sidelines and doesn’t trade frequently; once the trend becomes clear, he decisively adds to his positions. This approach helps avoid large drawdowns, with preserving capital being the top priority.

He often shares some very insightful points: First, the market is too complex; no one can predict accurately all the time. The focus should be on whether the decision-making process is correct. Second, risk management is life; if the capital is preserved, profits can be accumulated slowly. Third, only trade when the structure is clear; absolutely avoid emotional trading. Fourth, regularly review your trades, including those that result in losses.

From this logic, Dongbi Mao represents the mindset of traders who have survived in the long run. Contract trading involves high risk, and going all-in with a single trade can easily lead to liquidation. This steady trend-following combined with strict risk control is why large funds can sustain and grow.

But to clarify, use this kind of information as a learning tool for ideas, not for copying trades directly. Contract trading is inherently risky, and with leverage amplifying the effects, you must adjust according to your own situation. Just because others are making profits doesn’t mean you will too. The market is always teaching us how to behave.

Risk control is much more important than returns, and there's no wrong in that. However, most of us haven't reached the level where we can consistently follow the trend. Knowing that CoinMao's 15 million in two months sounds impressive, but the review mechanism and discipline behind it are hard for ordinary retail investors to learn. Futures trading is like that—chasing highs easily leads to liquidation. Wait, does this guy really hold positions that long and still rank first on the daily list? Can he really resist trading during volatile periods... I find that hard to believe. Actually, the main thing is to protect the principal, and the rest can come gradually. There's no need to chase that 15 million. Risk management is indeed the key, but with such market volatility, who can truly only act when clear structures appear? Easier said than done. Not copying trades, just viewing it as a way to understand ideas—that's correct. When others' methodologies are applied to your account, leverage amplifies the risk and can cause a crash.

Risk control is truly the top priority, no doubt about it. Otherwise, no matter how much you earn, you're just working for the market. Wait, is this guy really consistently placing orders or is it just another survivor bias? Your principal needs to stay alive to see the next opportunity. That hits hard. I really respect the strategy of not trading during volatile periods. Most people just can't sit still. As for contract leverage, watching others make profits is tempting, but one tremble and you're liquidated. Truly. No one can predict precisely—that's the wake-up call, more practical than any technical analysis. It's really difficult not to trade frequently, especially when watching market fluctuations. Trend following + risk management is indeed the secret to lasting success. Knowing CoinMao can earn 15 million also depends on their capital size. Copying it blindly is just asking for death. Reviewing losing trades is the most valuable lesson; everyone wants to revisit the winning trades.

Good morning, it's exactly 3 a.m... I just saw another story about "living long," but it still can't compare to the rapid profits of those sandwich-eating robots. The idea of protecting the principal is not wrong, but you need a sufficiently large principal to see the difference. Small retail investors face a direct wipeout with just one drawdown, so it's not really about risk control... it's just luck that it hasn't hit you. The real secret is: out of the 15 million he earned, how much was market dividends, and how much was avoiding liquidity traps? It's all just a gift of luck.

Risk control > Profit, this is a principle all active traders understand, but few actually do it. Looking at this guy’s logic—don’t chase quick money, just make money to stay alive. --- Wait, 15 million in two months? I need to review my recent trades; why do I feel like I’m still on the edge of losses... --- Trend following sounds simple, but it requires extremely strong mental resilience. Not acting during volatile periods is the most torturous part. --- That’s right, but how strong must one’s willpower be to truly do "not act when you don’t understand"?... Anyway, I can’t do it. --- 15 million was achieved with a large capital scale, and that’s the key. Retail investors can’t replicate it, leverage use can lead to margin calls in minutes. --- Risk management is truly life itself; only with capital can there be stories afterward. That hits hard. --- Only copying ideas, not trades—that’s correct, but which novice didn’t learn to lose while copying...

Damn, Tongbi Mao made 15 million in two months. This is the real way to play contracts. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so frequent with my trades. It's really a mindset issue. Following a steady trend is easy to say but hard to actually execute. Just analyzing the K-line structure alone takes half a year of practice. But this guy is right, not predicting, just following the trend—sounds more reliable? The principle that capital stays alive is more important than anything else. Only those who survive until the end say that. However, I still want to know, what is the current holding ratio of his 88,000 long position? The kind of thinking represented by Tongbi Mao truly is about longevity. If I keep trading so frequently, I will eventually be taught a lesson by the market. I want to copy his trades but really lack the ability, and my risk control awareness can't keep up. When it comes to critical moments, most people tend to trade emotionally, and that's the hardest part.

Risk control > profit, this is the true principle of survival. Too many people are still dreaming of a big gamble to turn things around. If the principal is lost, everything else is meaningless; it's unbearable. Reviewing losing trades is crucial. Most people forget their losses quickly and repeat the same mistakes. At the level of 15 million, it's not just luck; there is indeed a method. Act only when the trend is clear. It sounds simple, but it's extremely difficult to execute. Don't rush just because others are making money. Contracts can wipe you out overnight.
