Recently, I’ve met quite a few friends interested in trading contracts. Honestly, people aren’t really afraid of losing money—it’s more about lacking connections, experience, and not knowing where to start.

With such wild market fluctuations, if you just fumble around on your own, you’re basically paying tuition to the market. How to judge direction, manage your position size, and set stop losses—having a seasoned trader guide you through these is way better than struggling alone for six months.

A few core points aren’t that complicated: first, learn to read the trend and don’t fight it; then use small positions to try things out and get a feel for it; next, focus on how to avoid getting liquidated; and finally, prioritize stability—don’t expect to get rich overnight. If you follow this process, at least you won’t be left exposed when the market moves.

Well said, but honestly, having an experienced mentor makes a world of difference. Back then, I was figuring things out on my own and lost so much I started doubting life. Testing with small positions is really important—don’t be greedy. You absolutely have to get past the hurdle of setting stop-losses, or you’ll get wiped out sooner or later. No one who tries to get rich quick ends well—I’ve seen it too many times.

To be honest, this theory sounds flawless, but when it comes to actually executing it... uh, your mentality just collapses. The biggest problem for beginners isn’t not knowing what to do, it’s knowing but still not being able to do it—they always want to take a gamble. Having an experienced mentor can definitely help you avoid detours, but the key is to find someone truly reliable, not those "influencers" who just want to take advantage of you. What was said about preventing liquidation is spot on—it’s more important than anything else. Otherwise, no matter how much you earn, it’s meaningless. But if you set your stop loss too tightly, it’s easy to get shaken out. It’s really hard to find the right balance.

Sounds a lot like the kind of rhetoric used to brainwash newbies... Preventing liquidation is definitely important, but the problem is that most people have no idea how the contracts they hold actually work, let alone anticipate black swan events. The key is to thoroughly audit the assets and not be lured into reentrancy attack traps by promises of high returns.

To be honest, this stuff sounds easy, but when it comes to actually doing it, you still have to pay your dues. I'm a perfect example of what not to do, haha. Having an experienced trader guide you does help you move faster, but you have to find the right person, or you might end up losing even more. Avoiding liquidation is the most crucial part—I’ve seen too many people set stop-losses as if they didn’t set them at all. Testing with small positions is good advice, but a lot of people just can’t control themselves—there are plenty who go all-in with one trade. Trend judgment basically comes down to probabilities. There’s never a 100% certainty, so mindset is the most important thing. What this guy said is spot on, but very few people can actually do it. Most still get taught a lesson by the market.

Reliable, but the problem is that newcomers often don’t listen and insist on going all-in to try it out. To put it bluntly, the most important thing is to stay alive; making money comes later. Testing with a small position is truly critical—so many people lose simply because they refuse to admit their mistakes.

Alright, this all makes sense, but honestly, how many newbies will still fall into traps after hearing it? Here we go again, find a veteran to guide you? Then why aren't those veterans making money themselves instead of just teaching others? Testing with small positions sounds easy, but once your mindset collapses, it’s all for nothing. Avoiding liquidation is actually crucial—plenty of people get wiped out by leverage. Seriously, being stable early on is a hundred times more important than being fast. Stop dreaming about getting rich overnight.
