As someone who has been through the contract market for 8 years, I’ve seen too many tragedies where 100,000 capital goes to zero in just 3 days. Today, I’ll share the survival rules I’ve saved for a rainy day: remember that in the contract market, staying alive is more important than making money!
I. Ironclad Rules of Capital: Leave yourself a way out
💰 Diversification is a lifesaver: Never learn to gamble like a bettor! For 100,000 capital, only use 10,000 for trial trades, and keep the total position strictly under 20%. Just like in military strategy, leave a reserve force; 80% of your funds in the account are your cushion against market fluctuations.
⚠ Stop-loss is a lifeline: Set a rigid 2% stop-loss — if your 100,000 capital incurs a loss exceeding 2,000 yuan in one go, you must decisively close it. Don’t believe the nonsense of "just hold on a bit longer for a rebound"; data shows that traders who strictly execute a 2% stop-loss live 3.7 times longer than those who don’t use stop-losses.
⚡ Leverage is a devil's forbidden zone: Beginners must absolutely avoid leverage! Even experienced traders should keep leverage at ≤10% (i.e., a maximum of 10x leverage), which can reduce your liquidation risk by 80%. Remember: leverage amplifies not profits, but human greed.
II. Core Strategy: Focus to penetrate the market
🎯 One-way sniping is more efficient: Opening both long and short positions seems safe, but in reality, it’s a double-edged sword. Data shows that traders focusing on a single direction have a success rate 60% higher than those frequently switching between long and short. Choose your direction and stick to it; don’t be a fence-sitter in the market.
✅ Mechanical operations are counterintuitive: Set a fixed 3% stop-loss and 5% take-profit; when the time comes, don’t hesitate! Real trading observations show that traders who strictly adhere to this discipline have a survival rate twice that of those who change the rules at will. Make trading a conditioned reflex; don’t let emotions interfere with your fingers.
⏰ Capture certainty during golden hours: The win rate for the first 2 trades of the day is as high as 55%, but starting from the 3rd trade, the win rate plummets to 15%. Remember: trading is not like moving bricks; the more you do, the more mistakes you make. Focus on the 2 most certain opportunities each day.
III. Deadly Taboo: 90% of losses come from the same pitfalls
💣 Adding positions against the trend is suicide: Every time you average down during a decline, the risk of liquidation triples! Statistics from 2024 show that 67% of liquidation cases occur after the 2nd averaging down. Remember: the market will not change direction just because you add positions.
❌ High-frequency trading is a profit grinder: Don’t underestimate the fees of 0.1%, as high-frequency trading can eat away 50% of your profits in a year! Data from a certain platform shows that users trading more than 50 times a month, 82% ultimately suffer losses due to fees.
🚫 Turning profits into losses is the most fatal: 93% of liquidations start with "just wait a bit longer"! When a profitable position retracts by 20%, it must be forcibly closed — this is an ironclad rule learned by countless veterans through hard experience. Don’t let a cooked duck fly away.$ETH $BTC #币安Alpha上新 #Strategy增持比特币
