After doing contracts for so long, I increasingly feel that I was wrong in my initial thinking.

Most beginners in contracts have a misconception—they think it's all about predicting the right direction to make money. Actually, that's not the case. Those who can survive longer are not primarily relying on prediction skills, but on risk awareness and disciplined execution.

Coins like BTC and ETH fluctuate daily; no one can predict every move correctly. But if you can set a limit on each loss and dare to hold your position when the time is right, your account won't suddenly collapse. It's that simple.

I've seen many novice traders fall into the most painful operational pattern—hoping to turn things around with a single trade but unwilling to pay the tuition for wrong judgments. As a result, when a big market move comes, they get liquidated directly.

What I care about more is the opposite question: How much is the worst-case loss on this trade? Can I afford it? Instead of obsessing over how much I can make every day.

Honestly, contracts are like a mirror. They reveal your greed, fear, and whether you have discipline or not. Many people get stuck here—not because the market is too difficult, but because they haven't seen themselves clearly.
