Don't rush to go all in! Four life-saving tips from experienced players, remember: staying alive gives you the chance to get rich!
First rule of survival: Learn to crawl before you learn to fly (basic pit avoidance).
Choose perpetual contracts: Beginners should avoid futures contracts! Perpetual contracts have no expiration date, more friendly for practice.
Leverage ≠ printing money: 10x leverage, a 5% reverse fluctuation means losing half of your capital! Start with 5x to feel the 'storm'.
Stop loss! Stop loss! Stop loss! Set it for every trade! Capital 8000? Don't exceed 800 for a single stop loss! Floating loss of 10%? Don't hesitate, run! Keep capital intact, no fear of running out of fuel.
Choose only top platforms! Binance/OKX/Zhima, small platforms have a terrifying risk of running away. Compare transaction fees too!
Second rule of making money: Only eat 'meat from the body of the fish' (certainty strategies).
Trend is king:
Look at the 4-hour chart! 50-day line > 100-day line > 200-day line → Go long ✅; the opposite means go short ✅.
MACD golden cross above the 0 axis + RSI > 50 → Higher win rate! 🚀
Don't get too high on swings:
Don't bottom fish during declines! Wait for at least 3 bullish candles to stabilize before considering.
Don't chase highs during increases! Is the price too far from the moving average (>20%)? Wait for it to pull back before getting in!
Third rule of managing money: You can play with 8000 (practical division).
Leverage control: 5-10x is enough for beginners! With 8000 capital, the maximum contract is 80,000 (10x), greatly reducing risk!
Take profits: When you've made 20% (for example, 1600), withdraw 320 (20% profit), and keep the rest to play, this stabilizes your mindset.
Build positions in batches:
First order 40% (3200) to test the waters, drop by 5% (loss of 160) immediately stop loss.
Break through the previous high and add 30% (2400).
Always keep 30% (2400) as emergency funds! Prevent against violent drops and black swans!
Four steps in practical combat (BTC/ETH priority):
Choosing coins: Only trade BTC/ETH! Good liquidity, much more resistant to drops than altcoins!
Market observation: Bullish moving averages + MACD golden cross → Go long; bearish arrangement? Control your hands and don't bottom fish!
Opening a position: 5x leverage, buy BTC worth 26000 at 3200, set stop loss at 25700 (expected loss 300), take profit at 28000 (expected gain 400).
Daily tasks: Check positions before market close (don't exceed 10 times your capital!), adjust stop loss (protect profits!).
Core summary:
Risk first! Stop loss to protect capital is the bottom line.
Only do certainty! Don't guess tops or bottoms.
Manage your money bag! Diversify, control leverage, and cash out for safety.
Focus on the mainstream! BTC/ETH is the way.
For beginners, earning less is winning! Survive first and gradually get stronger!
