In the contract battlefield of high-volatility assets like ETH and SOL, the most realistic truth is—surviving is more important than making big money.

Have you experienced these situations too? Watching others’ K-line charts skyrocket, while you’re catching the top. The very next second after you sell, the main force reverses and hits again. Staying up every night watching the fluctuations until dawn, only to find your account getting smaller and smaller.

This is not bad luck, nor is it a lack of effort. Essentially, most people simply don’t understand how the main players are harvesting, let alone master their own defensive rhythm.

I’ve also walked this bloody path—being爆, being cut, and repeatedly being taught lessons. Only later did I realize a core logic: contract trading is not a get-rich-quick tool; its essence is a survival game.

Those who can make money in the market long-term are betting on these bottom lines:

Only entering at high-probability entry points, avoiding chasing highs or bottom-fishing blindly. Using low leverage to verify trends, rather than high leverage to gamble on a single move. Always setting stop-losses before opening a position, not after. Strictly controlling position size, immediately moving the stop-loss to the breakeven point when there’s floating profit—making the principal an insurance.

It sounds dull, but once your principal is safe, the market becomes your ATM. As long as you are in the game, making money is just a matter of time. But once you get wiped out, your skills, mindset, and opportunities are all reset to zero.

If you also want to change this situation—no longer being harvested for liquidity by the main players, no longer being manipulated by emotional swings of K-line charts every day, and truly learning the survival tactics in contracts—then it’s time to change your strategy. Starting from the rhythm of first surviving, then gradually making money, is the winning game rule.
