In the contract market, many people focus on entry points and direction, but what truly determines the trajectory of your account curve are two key points: position control and scaling techniques.
My trading has gradually stabilized recently, not through one or two huge profits, but by constantly optimizing my position system and coordinating it with a scaling mechanism, allowing me to turn small fluctuations into considerable profits.
Position Control: Controlling Risk, Not Opportunity
The root cause of most liquidations is not misjudging the direction, but going all-in. Even a normal retracement can overwhelm an account with excessive leverage.
My principle is simple:
Control the initial position to 10%-15% of the total margin
If the direction is correct, gradually add to the position based on key support levels, but never go all-in
Each order has a stop-loss point, high fault tolerance, and low psychological burden
The benefit of this approach is that a single mistake won't wipe out the entire account, while also leaving enough room to deal with market fluctuations.
Scaling Techniques: Profit is the Most Worthwhile Capital to Add
Scaling is not simply adding to the position, but adding to the position with "floating profits" on the basis of existing profits, to further amplify the profit.
For example, when I was shorting ETH:
I opened the first position at the 2553 line, and after confirming the direction, I added to it once the price fell to 2520, and added again at 2480.
Each add-on is based on the premise that the existing position is in profit
The take-profit and stop-loss are also adjusted synchronously, so that all profits are never returned in the opposite direction
In this way, a normal wave is turned into a doubled profit, while the overall risk remains under control.
