Brothers, let me clarify: this is not a show-off article. After spending a long time in the crypto world, you understand that money comes fast but leaves even faster - today I want to share my heartfelt thoughts on how to trade futures with profits and 'walk away smiling', rather than being harvested by the market.
Two months ago, when I entered the market with 3000U, I couldn't even find the leverage button on the contract interface; now, with over 200,000U securely in my account, it's never been about luck, but about understanding the logic of 'first stay alive, then make money'.
My approach is actually quite simple: I take out 300U from my principal to test the waters, using only 30U to open a 100x contract each time. Everyone knows that the characteristic of 100x leverage is extreme - if you're on the right track, a 1% increase can double your investment; but once you're wrong, it can also go to zero overnight. So these five 'life-saving rules' are what I advise everyone to remember firmly; they are more effective than any technique!
If you're wrong, stop loss immediately, don't hold out for hope and play dead
When I first entered the market, I blew my account twice, both times because I held on too long - always thinking 'just wait a bit longer for a rebound', only to be slapped hard by the market. It was only later that I realized: when it hits the preset stop loss, I must decisively exit. In the futures market, 'staying alive' is the greatest capital; competing with the market and proving you're right is utterly meaningless.Stop after five consecutive losses, don’t stubbornly hold on
Sometimes the market is like a drunk person, and the movements are completely illogical. If you have five consecutive losses, it indicates that you haven't kept up with the current rhythm; stubbornly holding on will only lead to a breakdown in mentality and increasing losses. I set a 'circuit breaker rule' for myself: as long as I have five consecutive losses, I immediately close the software and take a break, waiting until the next day when I am calmer to take another look, often finding that the 'dead end' I was stuck in was not a big deal.Withdraw every time you make 3000U, don’t be greedy for numbers
The numbers in the account are just a string of codes, and the market can swallow them back at any time. I have a strict rule: as long as the net profit reaches 3000U, I must withdraw at least half in cash. Only the money that is secured is truly mine; staring at the 'inflated numbers' on the screen without stopping will eventually lead to a fall.Only trade in one-directional markets, lie flat during volatility
100x leverage is an 'accelerator' in a one-directional trend, allowing you to quickly amplify profits; but during sideways movements, it becomes a 'harvesting sickle', repeatedly sweeping orders can erode your principal. Therefore, I never touch markets without direction; even if I stare at the screen blankly, I will never randomly hit the order button - waiting for the trend to clarify before acting is much more reliable than messing around in volatility.Never exceed 10% of your principal in position size, don’t be a gambler
Those who open contracts with full positions are essentially gamblers. Keeping a lighter position allows you to remain calm in the face of market fluctuations; operating with a full position is like gorging on ten plates at a buffet; no matter how good the first plates are, the tenth plate might just 'land you in the hospital'. Keeping your position size within 10% of your principal allows you to walk steady and far in the market.
Don’t wait until your contract is liquidated and your principal is lost before remembering these principles! Follow me, I will continue to share practical point judgments and operational skills, helping everyone gradually turn small amounts of money into larger sums - remember, in the crypto world, stability is the key to laughing until the end!
