#美联储重启降息步伐 To be honest, $ZEC $BTC this round of market action reminds me of the stupid mistakes I made when I first entered the space.

Back then, I blew my account from 8,000U down to 300U, all because I didn’t understand one thing—trading contracts isn’t something you do based on gut feeling.

It took me two years to figure things out. Now when I see newcomers repeating the same mistakes I made, I can’t help but say a few words:

**Don’t keep staring at the chart and opening positions all the time.** I’ve seen so many people make over twenty trades a day, only to lose more to fees than actual losses. With high leverage, you’re already down 1-2% the moment you open a position—do the math, how does that make sense? There are plenty of opportunities in the market, but your principal can’t handle that kind of beating.

**Stay out of the market when you need to.** There was a stretch last year when I didn’t take a single trade for three weeks, and my friends joked that I was scared. But the market just didn’t make sense—forcing trades is just asking for trouble. Later, it turned out that period really was a choppy trap. Sometimes, doing nothing is way better than trading recklessly.

As for setting take-profits and stop-losses—everyone knows the theory, but when you’re sitting on a 50% unrealized gain, can you really close the position without hesitation? Greed makes you think, “Just wait a bit longer and it’ll double.” My rule now: set your stop loss and don’t touch it—let it trigger automatically and save yourself the agony.

And here’s a lesson paid for in blood:**Never go all-in on high leverage.** I’ve seen people all-in with 50x leverage, only to get liquidated and leave the space in ten minutes. There’s endless money to be made in this game, but your account balance can go to zero—and a lot faster than you’d think.

Take it slow. Crypto isn’t a casino, it’s a place where patience and steady accumulation matter. Start with small positions, control your leverage, and only scale up when you really understand the market rhythm.

If someone had told me this back then, I probably could have saved a lot on tuition fees.
