One, Taking profits and stopping losses: A double-edged sword against human weaknesses.
Taking profits is the last barrier against greed—there is no myth of perpetual rise in the cryptocurrency world; seizing profits is the only way to truly realize paper wealth. Stop losses are a solid shield for protecting capital; every time you think, "Just hold on a bit longer," could become the last straw that breaks the camel's back. Always leave enough room for volatility when opening positions, because even if the direction is correct, a too-narrow stop-loss line could cause you to fall before dawn in the darkest hour.
Two, Reject high-frequency trading: Beware of fees eating into profits.
Don’t fantasize about becoming a trading god who profits from both sides! High leverage contracts hide a 1-2% fee black hole in every trade; unless your win rate crushes the market, frequent trading will only cause your funds to evaporate in friction costs. The market is never short of opportunities; instead of chasing prices like a headless fly, it is better to cultivate patience and wait for truly certain market conditions.
Three, Staying out of the market is also wisdom: Don’t enter a chess game you don’t understand.
When the market is shrouded in fog, choosing to stay out of the market requires greater courage than trading. A brief miss may only be a regret, but betting blindly can cause fatal wounds. Contract trading is essentially a game of probability, and even top traders cannot achieve 100% success. When market signals are unclear, observing is the most responsible choice for protecting your capital. (Newbies who want to test the waters can cautiously refer to the copy trading sections of leading exchanges, but must strictly select the qualifications of traders.)
Four, Progress step by step: The abyss behind the myth of easy profits.
Do not be blinded by the story of "100 capital with 10x leverage earning a hundred a day!" Contract trading is by no means a shortcut to wealth, but a professional field that requires long-term accumulation. It is advisable to start with low leverage and small amounts, honing trading skills in practice and gradually increasing the win rate. Remember: In the cryptocurrency world, stability leads to longevity; haste makes waste.
Five, Stay away from high leverage: Rationality is the last lifeline.
High leverage is like walking a tightrope on the edge of a cliff; even if the directional judgment is correct, a black swan event can cause instant loss. Especially in the period of impulse to recover after liquidation, it is advisable to immediately activate the "Contract Cooling Period" feature on platforms like Ouyi, forcing yourself to pause trading. Opportunities in the cryptocurrency world always exist, but preserving capital is the foundation for a comeback.
Six, Unity of knowledge and action: Only by overcoming human nature can one laugh last.
All ingenious trading strategies ultimately face the human test of "easy to know, hard to do." No matter how perfect the trading plan, once driven by fear or greed, it will all become waste paper. Only through deliberate practice day after day can trading discipline be internalized into instinctive responses, allowing one to survive in the brutal battlefield of contracts.
Over the years, we have seen too many people lose everything due to contract trading, but we have also witnessed rational traders achieve financial freedom. If you have ever fallen into the quagmire of blind trading and emotional trading, you might as well set these six principles as your phone wallpaper—In the cryptocurrency world, the prerequisite for rewriting your fate is always: learn to survive first.
