Perpetual Contract Survival Guide: Mastering Leverage, Profits Will Come Naturally!
Friends, today let's talk about something practical—perpetual contracts, simply put, are futures trading with 'no expiration date.' There's no need to worry about delivery times; as long as you don't get liquidated, you can hold for as long as you want, making it a blessing for night owls who love to watch the market!
How should you choose the leverage multiplier? People in the industry have their own opinions. Some use 30x leverage to play it safe, while others boldly operate with 50x leverage. But to be honest, since you're trading contracts, what's the difference between 1x leverage and buying spot? For example 🌰: for a popular cryptocurrency, you can enter with just 5U at 100x leverage, while at 30x, you need 16U. With the same market conditions, 100x returns can give you bubble tea freedom, while 1x may not even cover the transaction fees...
But! (Emphasizing)
Never risk a small amount of capital in high-risk scenarios! I've seen too many people use 500U of capital to open 100x leverage, only to be eliminated when the market fluctuates slightly. Remember: leverage is an amplifier, not a money printer. It's advisable to prepare an extra 20% margin to add a 'protective shield' to your account, enhancing your risk resistance~
Liquidation Warning! Don't learn these operations:
1. Holding a losing position: thinking you can withstand all fluctuations, only to end up liquidated
2. Going all in with all your capital: this isn't investing; it's giving money to the exchange
3. Adding to a losing position: buying more as the price falls? Exchanges love such 'enthusiasts'
Survival Tips:
✅ Use isolated margin mode; if this position loses, you still have a chance to place another order
✅ Set a stop-loss, be more decisive than when dealing with an ex
✅ Set a daily small target (like making 50U from 5000U capital), and stop once you hit the target
Real Profit Calculation (to keep a mental note)
Assuming you earn 1%-2% daily, and you can reach your target on 20 days in a month:
- 5000U×1%×20 days=1000U
- Even if there are a few loss days, you can still have a few hundred U as a bottom line
This is much better than bank wealth management, right? But remember—the contract is not a casino; planning is key to long-term success.
Finally, here's a saying for you:
"Lower the leverage, set the stop-loss early, $BTC $ETH
Run fast with profits, stay far from liquidation." #币安HODLer空投PLUME
