I recently conducted a small experiment, dividing 700 USDT into two parts: one part followed a trader’s signals, and the other traded contracts on my own. The result was unexpected—my own portion doubled, while the delegated trades nearly broke even. I also monitored several simulated copy-trading accounts, and there were quite a few instances of爆单 (liquidations).

This phenomenon is definitely worth reflecting on. Having been involved in A-shares trading for over ten years and interacting with many professional traders, I’ve observed that truly well-trained and disciplined signal providers are rare. Most operations seem to rely purely on luck, with no risk management framework in place. Entry points are casual, stop-loss levels are vague, position management is chaotic, and the end result is often爆单 and significant losses becoming the norm.

What’s the difference compared to my own trading? Data-supported decision-making. Every contract is set with defined risk parameters, stop-loss points, and target profits. No gut feelings, no chasing trends—strictly following the preset strategy. Even if a single trade results in a loss, the overall account can still maintain stable growth.

Therefore, the three core principles of contract trading are: first, risk control must come first; second, trading must be disciplined and methodical; third, decisions should be supported by data, not subjective judgment. Many losses occur because traders invert this priority—pursuing profits while neglecting risk, ultimately losing everything.

If you’re also copying trades or trading independently, consider examining your own trading logic. Reliable trading is not gambling; it’s management.
