💡 [Crypto Trading Strategy | 5 Practical Insights from Loss to Stability, a Must-Read for Beginners!]
As a contract player who has been in the crypto space for 3 years, after stepping into countless pitfalls, I have finally summarized a set of 'anti-human nature' strategies. Today, I will break down the underlying logic in a straightforward manner, pure practical advice without gimmicks. I recommend saving and revisiting it 👇
🔍 Key Point: Contracts are not a gambler's game, but a game of probabilities and discipline.
⚠️ Risk Warning: Contract leverage can amplify profits and losses. 90% of new traders' losses come from blind trading; always use idle funds for trading!
1. Position Management: Never go all in; surviving is more important than making quick money.
- My iron rule: Never open a position exceeding 5% of the principal, total position should not exceed 30% (for example, with a principal of 10,000, the maximum for a single position is 500 USDT).
- Example: Before last year's ETH crash, I shorted with 20% of my position, and even with corrections, I had room to add to my position, ultimately profiting from the waterfall.
- ✅ Logic: Heavier positions make emotions more susceptible to market movements; smaller positions allow you to stay rational amidst volatility.
2. Trend is King: Use 'Moving Averages + MACD' to filter out invalid signals.
- Moving Average Combination: I often use EMA55 + EMA200 to judge the overall trend (a bullish signal when the 55 EMA crosses above the 200 EMA, and vice versa for bearish).
- MACD Assistance: After a golden cross/death cross appears, wait for the price to break the moving average before entering to avoid 'fake signals' (I have tested and found a 40% increase in winning rate).
- ❌ Avoid Pitfalls: Don't trust 'short-term surge signals'; indicators in short cycles (within 15 minutes) can be easily manipulated by major players; at least look at the 4-hour chart.
3. Stop Loss and Take Profit: Set your 'escape line' in advance, rejecting greed and fear.
- My settings: Set stop-loss at 1.5%-3% of the opening price (set at 3% for highly volatile coins like SOL, and 1.5% for BTC), and set take profit according to a risk-reward ratio of 1:2 (for example, if the stop-loss is 500 USDT, set the take profit to at least 1000 USDT).
- Tool: Use the exchange's 'conditional order' to trigger automatically, avoiding hesitation during manual operations (I have lost 60% of my principal overnight because I didn't set a stop-loss…).
4. Hedging Mindset: Opening both long and short positions is not a panacea, but it can resist extreme market conditions.
- Applicable scenarios: Before major events (such as Federal Reserve interest rate hikes or project unlocks), use 1:1 long and short positions to hedge against volatility and lock in some profits.
- Example: During the USDC de-pegging in March this year, I opened both long and short positions on BTC. Although I lost a bit on the fees for both sides, it prevented a liquidation during the crash.
5. Emotional Management: Absolutely do not trade in these 3 situations.
- 🚫 When staying up late (the brain is not clear, making it easy to chase highs and cut losses)
- 🚫 After consecutive profits (confidence inflates, risks are easily ignored)
- 🚫 When trying to recover losses (revenge trading is the culprit for liquidation)
- Alternative solution: Watch (Reminiscences of a Stock Operator) when emotions run high, or practice on a demo account to regain rhythm before trading live.
📌 Final thoughts:
The essence of contracts is to 'take small risks for large probable returns', not to gamble on price movements. I've seen too many people rely on luck to make money, only to lose it back through skill. The truly stable players are those who 'pick up money' in the market using discipline and strategy.
