In the futures market, do you think you are competing with the market trends? Wrong! What you are really fighting against are the 'hidden rules' of the exchange and the 'psychological warfare' of the major players—understanding these three moves can save you three years of tuition!

1. Futures are not a 'guessing game'; they are the exchange's 'ATM'.
Don't be naive to think that futures are just a 'buy high, buy low' gambling game. How does the exchange make money? Not from transaction fees, but from liquidating positions! Every penny you earn comes from another trader's losses. This is why you can be right about the direction and still lose money—because the exchange's 'invisible rules' are secretly cutting the leeks.

Second, three major deadly traps that 90% of beginners have fallen into

  1. Funding rate = Long-short sentiment thermometer
    When the funding rate is greater than 0.12% for two consecutive days, it indicates that the bulls are too crazy, and it's time to short; when the rate is less than -0.12%, the bears are too strong, and you should decisively go long. Don't go against the trend; market sentiment is the most accurate 'bottom-fishing and top-escaping' indicator. (Personal opinion: I've seen too many people stubbornly hold on to the 'correct direction' and end up being drained by the funding rate)

  2. The liquidation price hides a 1.5% 'death trap'
    Do you think a 10x leverage will only get liquidated after a 10% drop? Too naive! The exchange will secretly add a 'forced liquidation fee', making the actual liquidation price 1%-1.5% lower than the theoretical value. This 1.5% is your 'coffin money'; many people get directly taken away just for lacking this breath.

  3. 100x leverage = chronic suicide
    The fees and funding costs for high leverage are calculated based on the enlarged positions! If you hold a position for more than 3 hours, the fees will eat into your principal like water dripping through stone, and you won't even realize it. Remember: high leverage is only suitable for 'lightning battles'; you must run when you earn 2%-4%, and absolutely do not hold overnight!

Third, two life-saving techniques that will help you survive three rounds of bull and bear markets

  1. When rolling over positions, you must 'leave a hand'
    I always use only 40% of my profits to increase positions, keeping 60% of my profits tightly in hand. Why? Because there are no 'sure wins' in the contract market; leaving a way out allows you to wait for the next opportunity. Those who go all in on increasing positions end up as 'nutrients' for the exchange.

  2. Beware of 'point detonation' harvesting techniques
    Always getting liquidated at support/resistance levels? It's not a coincidence! The major players can see your stop-loss lines and leverage ratios and specifically crash the market at positions you can't withstand. The solution: set your stop-loss lines a bit 'anti-human', for example, set it 5% below the support level.

Fourth, my 'combo punch' trading method
Medium-short term contracts + medium-long term spot = unbeatable whirlwind

  • Short-term contracts: Quick in and out, capture 3%-5% fluctuations, and run when you earn

  • Long-term spot: Invest in mainstream coins with profits to hedge contract risks

Do you think I'm teaching technology? Wrong! I'm teaching you how to 'survive' in the contract market. Want to know how I turned 10,000 U into 2 million? I can teach you, but you must genuinely want to learn, serious inquiries only — remember, in the contract market, those who survive the longest are the final winners.#永续合约DEX赛道之争
