Must-see for beginners! How to navigate perpetual contracts with 100U without falling into traps💥
🌟 First, understand the core concept: What exactly are contracts?
Many players hear about 'perpetual contracts' as soon as they enter the crypto circle, but what exactly is the difference from regular trading?
✅ Perpetual Contracts vs. Delivery Contracts
- 'Perpetual' is like a contract that never expires, with no expiration date, and can be closed at any time;
- 'Delivery' has a fixed expiration date (e.g., quarterly/monthly), automatically settles upon expiration, suitable for predicting short-term trends for players~
✅ Long vs. Short: The Secret to Earning in Both Up and Down Markets
- Going long (buying up): Believing the coin price will rise, first buy in and wait to sell at a higher price, the easiest strategy for beginners to understand;
- Short Selling (Betting Down): Predicting a drop in coin price, first 'borrow coins to sell', then buy back at a lower price to return them, earning the price difference (exclusive to contracts/futures operations!).
⚠️ Key Point: Going long is a familiar strategy for most, but short selling can make money in a down market. However, beginners are advised to practice going long first~
🚀 How to use leverage? Is it possible to double 100U?
🔍 The essence of leverage: Using small money to seek large returns, but the risk is maximized!
For example 🌰: You have 100U capital, open 10x leverage, which is equivalent to trading with 1000U!
- If the coin price rises by 10%, you earn 1000U × 10% = 100U, and your capital doubles directly;
- But if it drops by 10%, your 100U capital is gone (liquidation warning!).
⚠️ Advice for beginners: More leverage is not always better! Don't be greedy!
💡 Contract trading mindset: 3 practical tips
1️⃣ 'Funding Rate Arbitrage' Tip
Suitable for cautious players:
- Monitor if a certain coin's perpetual contract premium > 0.03%/8 hours (e.g., OKX);
- Operation: Open a short perpetual contract + buy spot (or quarterly contract) at the same time, wait for settlement to earn 'funding fees';
- Note: Leverage ≤ 3x, hold positions for 1-3 days rolling operations, don't be greedy holding positions!
2️⃣ News Trading 'First Move'
Before major data (non-farm, CPI), do this:
- Place a limit order ±0.3% of the current price 5 minutes in advance;
- When market volatility comes, immediately close half of the position after capturing the price difference, use 'trailing stop-loss' to lock in profits on the remaining half;
- Suitable for fast hands, beginners should be cautious!
3️⃣ 15-Minute K-Line Short-term Strategy
Suitable for those who watch the market closely:
- Look at the 15-minute chart, enter when EMA8 crosses above EMA21 and volume > 1.5 times the average volume;
- Set stop-loss to 1x ATR (volatility), take profit at 1.8x ATR;
- After two consecutive K-lines of the same direction signal, do not add positions to avoid being trapped!
⚠️ Final Key Point: Beginner's Survival Guide
1. Never go all-in! Always use 10%-20% of your capital to experiment;
2. Always set a stop-loss! Don't hold positions, a single liquidation can take you back to square one;
3. Start with small funds (like 100U) to practice, understand the rules before adding more capital;
4. Contracts are a zero-sum game; if someone profits, someone else loses. Don't believe in 'guaranteed profits' nonsense!
💬 Players must first learn the rules thoroughly before starting to play contracts, don't get dizzy with high returns~
