What you think is making a contract is actually 'rolling dice'.

Those who truly make stable profits do not rely on guessing or luck, but on systems, discipline, and risk control.

Today, I have condensed my experience from over 300 live trades into three tips. As long as you read carefully, you can at least avoid 90% of the pitfalls.

First tip: Don’t bet on price movements; direction is just a probability event.

Many people make a mistake right from the start—treating opening long or short positions as a guessing game.

The real traders do not make emotional bets on direction.

How do they do it?

First judge the trend, then decide the direction; if uncertain, observe.

Remember a saying:

'Contracts are about certainty, not stimulation.'

Pits to avoid:

Leverage is an amplifier, not a money machine.

Open with 10x leverage, earn 10% if it rises by 1%, but if it drops by 1%, the principal goes to zero.

Trading based on feelings is not called trading, it’s called giving money away.

What you need to do:

Before entering each trade, ask yourself three mandatory questions:

Is the current trend clear? (upward/downward/sideways)

Are there any news or events that will affect the market?

In case of a wrong move, where will I stop-loss?

The most stable approach: break through + confirm with a pullback before acting.

Even if you enter the market a little late, it's still ten times better than being slapped in the face immediately.

Second tip: rely on strategy, not just intuition.

Ordinary people rely on 'feelings' for contracts.

While veterans rely on 'system + strategy + experience.'

Three practical strategies that beginners can use:

①【Grid Quantitative】—— Most stable in sideways markets.

Applicable scenarios: volatile markets, prices fluctuating within a narrow range.

For example, when BTC hovers within the 60K–65K range, it is most suitable to open a grid.

Operational method:

Set multiple buy and sell orders, automatically complete transactions with each fixed increase/decrease.

When people sleep, money automatically 'highs and lows.'

Suggestions:

Using a small position + 3x leverage, single-grid profits can reach 10%-15%, and daily returns of 2%-5% are not a dream.

【Funding Fee Arbitrage】—— Zero risk to take advantage of the interest spread.

Funding fees are an opportunity for you to profit without loss, yet many people don’t use them at all.

Approach:

Simultaneously go long on spot + short on perpetual contracts to lock in the interest spread.

Example: Funding fee 18%, spot annualized 2%, interest spread = 16%.

Real trading data:

With an annualized return of 16000 U for 100000 U, there is basically no volatility risk.

【Bilateral Hedging】—— Defense and counterattack before major market movements.

Applicable scenarios: facing major events (such as Federal Reserve meetings, CPI releases), when market direction is unclear.

Approach:

Open equal amounts of long and short positions simultaneously.

Once the direction is clear, set a stop-loss on one side and keep the other side to profit.

Remember: it’s not about guessing the rise and fall, but seizing the market explosion.

Third tip: control risk well to qualify for discussing profits.

In short, surviving is the first goal.

If you can’t even avoid liquidation, no matter how much you earn, it will only be a fleeting moment.

Position rules:

Don’t exceed 1% for the initial position, and at most not more than 3%.

Earn money before adding to your position; don’t start with heavy bets.

What to do if you have consecutive losses?

Reduce positions or stay empty, no emotional trading to recover losses.

Stop-loss principles:

Set a stop-loss level as soon as you open a position, capped at 2%-3%.

No matter how good the market is, don’t expect miracles.

If a single profit exceeds 5%, immediately raise the stop-loss to the entry price to ensure no loss.

Emotional system:

Three consecutive losses? Take a mandatory day off.

When emotions are unstable, making money is luck, losing money is the norm.

Write 'emotional trading log':

For each transaction, write down the reason for opening the position, emotional state, and stop-loss plan, using data to make subjective trading objective.

Life-saving principle: living expenses must always be independent.

Regardless of how much capital you have in your account, you must set aside living expenses for a year.

Never gamble with 'money for food,' that’s not trading, it’s self-destruction.

Finally, here’s a saying for you:

'Understanding the market is a skill; controlling your hands is wisdom.'

Trading contracts, on the surface, appears to earn from volatility,

Essentially, what you earn is: system + discipline + stability.

It is recommended that all beginners start with a simulated account, do at least 100 trades, and become proficient in executing risk control rules.

Only then use your real money.

Don’t envy others for flipping their accounts,

The discipline they can maintain behind the scenes and the losses they have suffered, you have not seen.

First learn 'how not to lose.'

You qualify to learn how to earn.
