#数字资产市场动态 Have you noticed this phenomenon?
In the contract market, the traders who stand out are often not those who chase every rise and fall, claiming to be able to "accurately bottom fish." Instead, those who can survive longer and maintain stable profits are the "steady types" who embed risk awareness in their hearts.
Many people have fallen into a big pit: thinking that making money depends on skill and judgment, and focusing all their energy on analyzing market trends and adjusting strategies, eager not to miss any opportunity.
But here’s a harsh truth— the market is inherently random.
There are no absolute rules for price movements; so-called "accurate judgment" is essentially luck showing its face. The so-called "earning based on skill"? Actually, it’s just that the market happened to be on your side this time.
Profits are never something you actively "create," but the natural result of having a solid defense in place, allowing the market to give back to you.
True trading wisdom looks like this:
Before opening a position, first assess whether your risk exposure can be handled, don’t be blinded by potential gains; set your stop-loss properly and stick to it, don’t waver even if you feel lucky; in terms of position sizing, strictly control the amount, don’t increase your position out of greed.
Every decision is driven by one goal—survival. Every move is aimed at avoiding risk.
Conversely, if you keep your eyes fixed on profits, it’s easy to be driven by desire.
To earn a little more, you might close your stop-loss; to chase higher returns, you might go all-in on a gamble. Short-term, you may see some profits, but in reality, you’re already hanging one foot off a cliff.
The biggest risk in the market comes suddenly and without warning. One irrational bet can wipe out years of gains, let alone stable profits.
Ultimately, trading is about playing probabilities.
We can’t control market rises and falls, but we can fully control our risk exposure.
When you truly dedicate yourself to protecting your safety line, resisting the temptation of profits, you’ll stay clear-headed and maintain a steady rhythm.
Over time, you’ll realize—profits are not something you actively chase; they are the natural result of holding your bottom line.
This is the most genuine secret of contract trading.
