Better miss than err. Safety first.

12 Common Methods and Key Points for Making Money in the Crypto World through Contracts:
1. Trend Following: Follow the major market trends, confirm the trend through technical analysis, enter the market at key breakout points, set stop losses to prevent false breakouts, and avoid trading against the trend.
2. Counter-Trend Pullback Trading: Capture price pullback opportunities within a trend, use tools to determine pullback positions, and strictly set stop losses to avoid misjudging the trend.
3. Hedging Spot Risk: Open short positions to hedge against downside risk when holding spot assets, match the position size with contract value, and calculate funding rates.
4. Inter-Period Arbitrage: Profit from price differences of contracts for the same cryptocurrency with different maturities, buy near-month contracts and sell far-month contracts, paying attention to delivery and funding rates.
5. Cross-Market Arbitrage: Buy low and sell high when there are price differences for the same cryptocurrency across different exchanges, considering withdrawal speed and transaction fees.
6. High-Frequency Trading: Capture tiny price differences relying on algorithms, requires automated programs and high-precision data, suitable for professional teams.
7. Grid Trading: Place orders in batches to buy low and sell high within a set range, choose highly volatile cryptocurrencies, and prevent one-sided market breaks.
8. Event-Driven Strategy: Anticipate the impact of major events, lay in wait before news announcements, and be cautious of the “buy the rumor, sell the news” reversal.
9. Martingale Strategy: Double down on positions when losing, requires unlimited funds, extremely prone to liquidation, use with caution.
10. Stop Loss and Take Profit Strategy: Set fixed profit and loss points, based on support/resistance or percentages, and avoid frequently adjusting stop losses.
11. Incremental Position Building & Pyramid Positioning: Gradually increase positions to lower costs after confirming a trend, and control total leverage ratio.
12. Volatility Trading: Profit from increased market volatility, open positions at high panic levels in conjunction with indicators, and avoid excessive trading during low volatility.
Reminder 1: Focus on a single cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), EOS, SOL, or TRUMP, and make money in that one before moving on to others; most people in the crypto space are looking at what others have, losing sight of their own investments, and many cryptocurrencies lead to losses.
Risk Warning: High leverage amplifies losses; beginners should keep leverage below 5 times; be wary of black swan events leading to liquidation; manage your mindset, refuse FOMO, and avoid frequent trading.
