💡【Crypto Trading Strategies｜5 Practical Insights from Loss to Stability, A Must-Read for Beginners!】
As a contract trader who has been navigating the crypto space for 3 years, after stepping into countless pitfalls, I have finally summarized a set of "anti-human" strategies. Today, I will break down the underlying logic and explain it in detail, purely practical without any tricks, highly recommended to bookmark and review repeatedly👇
🔍 First, the key point: Contracts are not a gambler's game, but a game of probability and discipline.
⚠️ Risk Warning: Contract leverage amplifies both profits and losses, 90% of new traders' losses stem from blindly opening positions, always use idle funds for trading!
1. Position Management: Never go all in, surviving is more important than making quick money.
- My iron rule: Single position should not exceed 5% of the principal, total position should not exceed 30% (for example, with a principal of 10,000, the maximum for a single position is 500U).
- Case study: Before last year's ETH crash, I shorted with 20% position. Even with mid-course pullbacks, I had room for adding positions, ultimately profiting when the market tanked.
- ✅ Logic: The heavier the position, the easier it is for emotions to be swayed by the market. A small position allows you to remain rational amidst volatility.
2. Stop Loss and Take Profit: Set your "escape line" in advance, refuse greed and fear.
- My settings: Stop loss set at 1.5%-3% below the opening price (for highly volatile coins like SOL set at 3%, BTC set at 1.5%), take profit according to a risk-reward ratio of 1:2 (for example, if stop loss is 500U, take profit should be at least 1000U).
- Tools: Use the exchange's "conditional order" to trigger automatically, avoiding hesitation during manual operations (I once lost 60% of my principal overnight because I didn't set a stop loss...).
3. Emotion Management: Absolutely do not trade in these 3 situations:
- 🚫 When staying up late (the mind is not clear, easy to chase highs and cut losses)
- 🚫 After consecutive wins (confidence inflates, risks are overlooked)
- 🚫 When wanting to recover losses after a downturn (revenge trading is the culprit of liquidation)
- Alternative: When emotions are high, read "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator", or practice on a demo account to regain rhythm before trading live.
📌 Final thoughts:
The essence of contracts is "to use small risks to seek large probability gains", not to gamble on price movements. I have seen too many people earn money by luck, only to lose it all through skill. True stable players are those who "pick up money" in the market using discipline and strategy.
