Just entering the market with 3000U and wanting to trade contracts, are you both excited and anxious? Don't rush; this article doesn't promote wealth myths but discusses a 'steady and secure' approach. By using high emotional intelligence to manage risk, let's first aim not to lose before seeking profit.
Step 1: First, give your principal 'bulletproof armor' - Maximize risk awareness!
Never believe the nonsense of '3000U turning into 300,000'. Contracts are essentially 'risk hedging tools', not a gambling casino!
High emotional intelligence operation: First take out 500U for practice, keep the remaining 2500U as 'emergency money'. If you lose 500U, stop immediately to reflect; don't let emotions control your wallet.
Step 2: Use a 'minimal plan' instead of blind operations.
Coin selection logic: Avoid air coins, focus only on mainstream (BTC/ETH) or recent hot topics (like strong narrative L2s or new public chains), high liquidity allows for error tolerance.
Order Opening Principle: 'Small position trial and error, buy in batches on pullbacks.' Don't exceed 5% (150U) of 3000U for each order, leave enough space for additional purchases.
For example: If you want to go long on BTC at 28,000 dollars, first open with 100U to test the waters, add another 100U if it drops to 27,000, lowering the average price is more secure.
Step 3: Position management = 'Insure your contracts'.
High emotional intelligence formula: 3000U principal = 50% reserve fund + 30% building capital + 20% emergency fund.
Don't exceed 30% (900U) for building positions; even if it drops by 50%, you'll only lose 450U, keep some reserve for a reversal.
Reject 'going all in'; that’s not courage but a gambler's mentality. True experts always leave themselves an 'exit route'.
Step 4: Risk control is more important than opening orders - Stop-loss and take-profit are lifesavers!
Must set stop-loss: Calculate 'acceptable loss limit' before each opening. For example, when going long on BTC, if it drops below 27,000 dollars, stop-loss, accept a 100U loss, and don't wait until it drops to 500U to panic. Take profit wisely: Take profit in batches when gaining 10%-20%. Securing profits is better than just enjoying a digital number. Earning 300U from 3000U is like enjoying a nice meal, isn't that great?
Step 5: High Emotional Intelligence Mindset - Treat contracts as a 'rational game'.
Don't bet against the market: Admit when you're wrong, don't think about 'averaging down to break even', it's normal to get stuck the more you average down.
Don’t focus on short-term fluctuations: 3000U isn't a lot of money, don't be anxious staring at the K-line every minute. Spending 1 hour daily reviewing is enough; life is more important than trading coins.
Lastly, I want to say:
The crypto world is not short of stories of overnight riches, but it has even more lessons of overnight zeroes. 3000U is the starting point for testing the waters; learning to manage risk with 'high emotional intelligence' is more important than chasing short-term windfalls.
