Why do contracts always lead to liquidation? It's not bad luck; you fundamentally don't understand the essence of trading! This low-risk rule accumulated from ten years of trading experience will completely overturn your perception of contract trading — liquidation is never the market's fault, but rather a ticking time bomb you set yourself.
Three truths that overturn perceptions
Leverage ≠ risk: position size is the line between life and death
With 100x leverage using 1% position, the actual risk is only equivalent to 1% of a full Bitcoin spot position. A certain student used 20x leverage to trade ETH, investing only 2% of the principal each time, with three years of no liquidation. Core formula: real risk = leverage factor × position ratio.
Stop loss ≠ loss: the ultimate insurance for the account
In the March 2024 crash, 78% of liquidated accounts shared a common characteristic: losses exceeding 5% without setting stop losses. Professional traders' iron rule: a single loss must not exceed 2% of the principal, which is equivalent to setting a 'circuit fuse' for the account.
Rolling positions ≠ all-in: the correct way to open compound interest
Stair-step position building model: initial position 10% for trial and error, increase position by 10% of profits. With a 50,000 principal, the initial position is 5,000 (10x leverage), and every 10% profit uses 500 to increase position. When BTC rises from 75,000 to 82,500, the total position only increases by 10%, but the safety margin improves by 30%.
Institutional-level risk control model
Dynamic position formula
Total position ≤ (Principal × 2%) / (Stop loss range × Leverage factor)
Example: For a 50,000 principal, 2% stop loss, and 10x leverage, the maximum position calculated is = 50,000 × 0.02 / (0.02 × 10) = 5,000
Three-stage take profit method
① Take profit 1/3 at 20% ② Take profit another 1/3 at 50% ③ Move stop loss on remaining position (exit if breaking the 5-day line)
In the 2024 halving market, this strategy increased a 50,000 principal to a million during two trends, with a return rate exceeding 1900%
Hedging insurance mechanism
When holding positions, use 1% of the principal to buy Put options, which can hedge 80% of extreme risks in practice. In the April 2024 black swan event, this strategy successfully saved 23% of the account's net value.
Deadly trap data evidence
Holding a position for 4 hours: liquidation probability increases to 92%
High-frequency trading: average of 500 operations per month resulting in a 24% loss of principal
Profit greed: failing to take profits in time leads to an 83% profit drawdown in the account
IV. Mathematical expression of trading essence
Expected profit = (win rate × average profit) - (loss rate × average loss)
When setting a 2% stop loss and 20% take profit, only a 34% win rate is needed to achieve positive returns. Professional traders achieve over 400% annualized returns through strict stop-loss (average loss of 1.5%) and trend capturing (average profit of 15%).
Ultimate rule:
Single loss ≤ 2%
Annual trades ≤ 20
Profit-loss ratio ≥ 3:1
70% of the time, stay in cash and wait
The essence of the market is a probability game; smart traders risk 2% to capture trend benefits. Remember: control your losses, and profits will naturally run. Establish a mechanical trading system to let discipline replace emotional decision-making; that is the ultimate answer for sustained profitability.#BTC☀ #BTC走势分析
