📒 Evaluation Directions for Contract Traders

Whether individual traders or strategy teams can usually be comprehensively evaluated from the following six dimensions:

1⃣ Profitability and Stability

This is a core indicator, focusing on the following details:

Historical ROI (Return on Investment): Is the annual/quarterly/weekly return stable in positive values?

Win/Loss Ratio: Is it maintained within a reasonable range (greater than 1.5 is good)?

Win Rate: A 50% win rate combined with a high win/loss ratio can also be profitable.

Max Drawdown: Is the maximum drawdown controllable (less than 20% is excellent)?

✅ An excellent trader does not necessarily "win every day"

But must maintain stable profits over a long period and be able to survive.

2⃣ Position Management Ability

Contract trading has high leverage, so risk control is particularly important:

Is there a strict stop-loss/profit-taking system?

A low liquidation rate indicates proper control.

Those who use dynamic position management (e.g., using 30% for strong signals, only 10% for weak ones) are more mature.

Will they go "ALL IN" or maintain steady gains?

✅ Being able to control greed is the dividing line for experts.

3⃣ Strategy Logic and Trading Style

Different traders have different styles:

Programmatic vs. Subjective Feel

Trend Trading vs. High-Frequency Hedging vs. Arbitrage

Can they clearly explain their strategy logic?

(Vague term users are often unreliable)

Do they adhere to their understanding of the market structure

and not easily follow the trend?

✅ Excellent traders "have a method," rather than relying on "luck."

4⃣ Psychological Quality and Stress Resistance

Top traders must stabilize their emotions:

Have they experienced significant losses or drawdowns and been able to grow from it?

Can they continuously execute their strategies without being influenced by market emotions?

They will not overturn their entire system just because of one or two failures.

✅ Being able to control their trading emotions is more important than controlling the market.

5⃣ Market Adaptability and Continuous Optimization Ability

Market styles change frequently. If a person can maintain stable profits over a long period, they must possess:

The ability to continuously review and upgrade strategies;

The ability to adapt to different stages such as bull and bear markets, fluctuations, and extreme conditions;

Not holding onto outdated views and continuously learning and updating their understanding (e.g., transitioning from only trading BTC to structural arbitrage, quantitative trading, etc.)

6⃣ Information Acquisition and Resource Capability

Can they acquire market anomalies, on-chain data, and KOL movements in real time?

Do they have tools to assist (e.g., APIs, bots, backtesting systems)?
