8 Core Suggestions from Experienced Players to Newbies: First, Stay Alive, Then Make Money
1. Three Basics You Must Learn to Avoid Pitfalls
1. Core Concepts of Contract Trading
◦ Perpetual Contract (No Expiration Date) vs Expiry Contract (Has Expiration Date), newbies should practice with perpetual contracts first
◦ Leverage ≠ Doubling: Under 10x leverage, a 5% reverse fluctuation can lose 50% of the principal, recommended to start with 5x
◦ Stop Loss Must Be Set: Set a 5%-10% stop loss for each trade (e.g.: for 8000 yuan principal, single trade stop loss ≤ 800 yuan)
2. Choose the Right Platform
◦ Only Choose Top Exchanges: Binance
◦ Fee Comparison: For spot, choose below 0.1%, for contracts pay attention to funding rates (the lower, the better)
3. Ironclad Risk Management Rules
◦ No Holding Losing Positions: Unconditionally stop loss if floating loss exceeds 10%, keep the principal, opportunities will come
2. Trading Strategy: Earn “Certain” Money
1. Two Rules for Trend Trading
◦ Moving Average Judgment: In the 4-hour chart, if the 50-day line > 100-day line > 200-day line → Go Long; otherwise, Go Short
◦ Indicator Assistance: Enter when MACD is above the 0 line with a golden cross + RSI > 50, higher win rate
2. Swing Trading Mnemonics
◦ Don’t Catch Falling Knives: Wait for 3 bullish candles to stabilize before buying
◦ Don’t Chase Highs: Don’t chase if deviating from the moving average by more than 20%, wait for a pullback to the moving average
3. Capital Management: 8000 Yuan Position Sizing Method (Practical Version)
1. Leverage Usage
◦ Newbies use 5-10x: With 8000 yuan principal, can open contracts worth up to 80,000 yuan (10x leverage), reduce liquidation risk by 50%
◦ Handling Floating Profits: After making 20%, withdraw 20% profit first (e.g.: earn 1600 yuan, withdraw 320 yuan), use remaining funds for further operations
2. Gradual Position Building
◦ First use 40% (3200 yuan) for a trial position, stop loss at 5% drop (loss of 160 yuan)
◦ After breaking the previous high, add 30% (2400 yuan), keep 30% (2400 yuan) for potential crashes
4. Four Steps to Practical Action (Using BTC as an Example)
1. Choose the Target: Only trade BTC/ETH (strong liquidity, crash resistance > 3 times that of altcoins)
2. Trend Judgment: Bullish Moving Averages + MACD Golden Cross → Go Long; Bearish Arrangement → Don’t Catch the Bottom
3. Position Building Operation: Open 5x leverage, buy 26000 yuan BTC with 3200 yuan, stop loss at 25700 yuan (loss of 300 yuan) take profit at 28000 yuan (profit of 400 yuan)
4. Daily Risk Control: Check position before market close (not exceeding 10 times the principal) and adjust stop loss (move up with price to protect profits)
5. Risk Control: Three Critical Lines
1. Avoid Three Types of Minefields
