Contract Survival Guide: Three Tricks to Survive and Make Money in the Crypto World

"Contracts are not gambling, but 90% of people treat them as gambling."

When I first entered the market, I also lost 50% of my capital in three days due to heavy trading. It wasn't until I reflected on my mistakes and formulated three iron rules that I was able to stand firm in a volatile market. The truth about contracts is: first learn to 'stay alive,' then consider 'making money.'

First Trick: Position is the Lifeline - Always Split Your Operations into 10 Parts

Total Capital Cake Management:

Assuming you have 10,000 U, invest a maximum of 10% (i.e., 1,000 U) in each operation. Even if you face liquidation, you only lose 10% of your total capital, keeping your mindset steady, and opportunities for recovery will always be there.

Avoid the "All-in Trap":

Going all-in means handing your fate over to market fluctuations. The favorite prey of market makers is those gamblers who try to "recover losses in one go."

Second Trick: Let Profits Snowball, Cut Losses Sharp

Use profits to increase position, don’t touch the principal:

When your open position has an unrealized profit exceeding 20%, use the profit portion to increase your position. For example, if you make 200 U from a principal of 1,000 U, use that 200 U to open a new order, keeping your principal "out of the equation."

Stop losses must be firm, 5% is the red line:

If losses exceed 5%, exit immediately, and never average down to "lower the cost." Historical data shows that 80% of the time, holding on to losing positions leads to liquidation.

Third Trick: Only Fish for Big Ones, Stay Away from Small Fry

Altcoins = High-Risk Game:

When you see a certain coin surge by 50% in a single day, jumping in is likely to make you a "bag holder." Altcoins have poor liquidity and severe market maker control; once leverage is applied, risks grow exponentially.

Focus on mainstream coins, understand emotional cycles:

I only trade BTC/ETH contracts, with the core logic being "market sentiment speculation": when retail investors go crazy chasing highs (like BTC breaking previous highs), take profits in batches; when the market panics and crashes (like BTC breaking key support), buy on the way down.

The First Lesson in Crypto: Survival is More Important than Getting Rich

This market is never short of opportunities, but lacks 'those who are alive to see them.'

Position management is the "moat" that protects your principal in extreme market conditions; strict stop losses are the "brake pads" that prevent small losses from turning into disasters; focusing on mainstream coins is the "compass" that helps avoid the liquidity traps of altcoins.

Remember:

Contracts are not "ATM machines," but rather "cognition monetizers."

If you can remain calm when 90% of people are panicking and clear-headed when others are greedy, profits will naturally come to you.
