First Tip: Don't gamble on ups and downs, treat direction as a probability event.
Many people treat contracts like dice games, guessing blindly based on feelings. Experts treat 'going long' and 'going short' as probability events and make moves after seeing clearly.
Key Points:
• Leverage is a double-edged sword; under 10x leverage, a 1% increase profits 10%, a 1% decrease could lead to liquidation.
• Blindly going all in without thinking is not making money, it's giving money away.
Practical Suggestions:
• Pass through three checks before placing an order: What is the current trend? Is there any sudden news affecting it? Where is the stop loss if wrong?
• The most stable approach: Wait for 'breakthrough + pullback confirmation' before entering, entering late is still better than losing money.
Second Tip: Rely on strategy, not on impulse
Most people place orders based on feeling, while a few use systems as assistants.
Three strategies suitable for beginners:
① Grid Quantification: Steady through fluctuations
• Suitable for sideways markets (e.g., BTC in the 60k–65k range).
• Place an order every $500, automatically buy low and sell high, operating 24 hours.
• Small position + 3x leverage, single grid profit exceeds 15%, daily return 2%-5%.
② Funding Fee Arbitrage: Secure profit spread
• Go long on spot while shorting perpetual contracts to lock in the spread.
• Example: Funding fee 18% + spot annualized 2%, profit spread 16%, with 100k U earning 16k U annually, low risk with no volatility.
③ Double Hedging: Protecting oneself before major market movements
• Before significant events when the market is uncertain, open equivalent long and short positions, stop loss one side after the direction is clear, keep the other side to capture profits.
• Whether it goes up or down is not important; capturing the breakout is key.
Third Tip: The only secret to not getting liquidated: Risk control first
Without risk control, you cannot keep your profits.
Position Discipline:
• Start with a 1% position, increase as you profit, and do not exceed 3%.
• Reduce position on losses, go to cash on consecutive losses, don't let small losses turn into big pits.
Stop Loss Iron Rule:
• Set a stop loss when opening a position (generally 2%-3%), do not hope for miracles.
• If profits exceed 5%, immediately raise the stop loss to the entry price to ensure 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, record the reasons and state for placing orders, use data to replace subjective judgment.
Independent Living Expenses:
• Separate account from living funds, keep at least 1 year of daily backup money.
• 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 adhere to discipline, the easier it is to get on the right track.
It is recommended to start with a simulated account, and only move to a real account after stabilizing with 100 trades.
