3 Lifesaving Tips for Beginners in Contracts: Don't Bet on Direction, Don't Rely on Luck, Just Follow to Survive!
First Tip: Don't Bet on Up or Down, Treat Direction as a Probability Event
Many people trade contracts like gambling dice, relying on feelings to make blind guesses. Skilled traders treat "long" and "short" as probability events, analyzing before acting.
Key Points:
• Leverage is a double-edged sword; with 10x leverage, a 1% increase earns 10%, while a 1% drop could lead to liquidation.
• Don't blindly gamble without thinking; it's not making money, it's giving away money.
Practical Advice:
• Pass through three checkpoints before placing an order: What is the current trend? Is there any sudden news affecting it? Where to stop loss if wrong?
• The safest strategy: wait for "breakout + pullback confirmation" before entering; entering late is better than losing money.
Second Tip: Rely on Strategy, Not Impulse
Most people place orders based on feelings, while a few use systems as assistants.
Three Strategies Suitable for Beginners:
① Grid Quantification: Easiest to Profit from Fluctuations
• Suitable for sideways markets (e.g., BTC in the 60k–65k range)
• Place an order every 500U, automatically sell high and buy low, operating 24 hours a day.
• Small position + 3x leverage, single grid profit exceeds 15%, daily return 2%-5%.
② Funding Fee Arbitrage: Steady Profit from Interest Rate Differentials
• Go long on spot while shorting perpetuals to lock in interest rate differentials.
• Example: Funding fee 18% + spot annualized 2%, interest rate differential 16%, with 100,000U earning 16,000U a year, low risk with no volatility.
③ Double Opening Hedge: Self-Protection Before Major Market Moves
• Before major events when market direction is unclear, open equivalent long and short positions; after the direction is clear, stop loss on one side and keep the other side for profit.
• Up or down is not important; capturing the breakout is key.
Third Tip: The Only Secret to Avoiding Liquidation: Prioritize Risk Control
Without risk control, you cannot keep your profits.
Position Discipline:
• Start with a 1% position; increase the position as profits grow, not exceeding 3% at most.
• Reduce position on losses; if losing continuously, go to a flat position; don't let small losses turn into big pits.
Stop Loss Rules:
• Set a stop loss as soon as you open an order (generally 2%-3%); don't hope for miracles.
• If profits exceed 5%, immediately raise the stop loss to the entry price, ensuring no loss.
Emotional Control:
• If you lose 3 consecutive trades, take a mandatory 24-hour break; calmness is more important than impulsiveness.
• Keep an emotional journal, recording reasons for placing orders and your state, using data to replace subjective judgment.
Financial Independence:
• Separate your account from living funds, leaving at least 1 year of living expenses as a backup.
• Don't gamble with tomorrow's meal money.
Conclusion:
Contracts test self-discipline; the more you want to make quick money, the easier it is to get liquidated; the more you stick to discipline, the easier it is to get on the right track. $BTC $ETH #香港稳定币新规
