Small Victories and Growth in Perpetual Contract Trading

Trading Background and Operation Details

On this ordinary trading day of May 9, 2025, I attempted a long position on the BTC perpetual contract. The opening price was 89,323 USDT, and the closing price slightly rose to 89,725.3 USDT, with an unrealized profit of only 0.80 USDT. Although the amount is trivial, this operation serves as a mirror reflecting the subtle logic of the trading world.

Market Volatility and Psychological Games

From the candlestick chart, BTC's price displayed a slow 'zigzag' fluctuation throughout the day. After opening the position, the market briefly dipped to around 89,100, and the pressure of a temporary floating loss instinctively made one want to cut losses and exit. However, upon observing a bottom divergence signal in the hourly MACD indicator, I chose to hold the position and wait. Eventually, the price suddenly surged 400 points during the European session, validating the technical analysis prediction.

Extracting Trading Wisdom from Data

Although this trade yielded a small profit, it provided multiple insights:

The importance of position management: Only 2% of total capital was invested, so even if there were reverse fluctuations, it did not affect my mindset;

Choosing a time window: Operating during the overlapping period of the highly liquid US and European sessions reduced slippage risk;

Emotional control training: Faced with a 5% drawdown during trading, I calmed my anxiety through deep breathing to avoid impulsive actions.

Thoughts on Future Trading Plans

I plan to attempt adjusting the take-profit and stop-loss ratio from 1:1 to 1:2 next week, while also incorporating the RSI overbought and oversold indicators as auxiliary judgments. The market is always changing, but every accumulation of 0.8 USDT is a stepping stone towards stable profitability.
