8 Core Suggestions for Newcomers in the Crypto Space: First, Ensure Safety, Then Make Money! 💰
1. 3 Basics You Must Learn to Get Started, Avoid Detours 🚀
Core Concepts of Contract Trading
Perpetual Contracts (no expiration) vs. Futures Contracts (with expiration), beginners should practice with perpetual contracts first!
Leverage ≠ Doubling: 10x leverage with 5% reverse loss can lead to a 50% loss, it is recommended to start with 5x.
Always Set Stop Loss: 5%-10% stop loss for each trade (e.g., 8000 yuan capital, a single loss ≤ 800 yuan).
Choose the Right Platform
Only choose the top 3: Binance, OKX, Gate (small platforms have high risks).
Fee Comparison: For spot trading, choose below 0.1%, for contracts, select low funding rates.
Ironclad Rules of Risk Management
No Holding Positions: If floating losses exceed 10%, unconditionally stop loss, protecting capital is the most important!
2. Trading Strategies: Earn “Certain” Money 📈
Two Rules for Trend Trading
Moving Average Judgment: If the 50-day line on the 4-hour chart > 100-day line > 200-day line, go long; otherwise, go short.
Indicator Assistance: Enter when MACD crosses above the 0 line + RSI > 50, increase winning rate!
Wave Trading Mnemonic
Do Not Catch Falling Knives: Wait for 3 bullish candles to stabilize before buying.
Do Not Chase Rising Prices: Do not chase if it deviates from the moving average by 20%, wait for a pullback.
3. Capital Management: 8000 Yuan Split Warehouse Method (Practical Version) 💡
Leverage Use
Newcomers use 5-10x: With 8000 yuan capital, can open contracts up to 80,000 yuan, reducing liquidation risk by half.
Handling Floating Profits: Withdraw 20% of profits after earning 20% (earn 1600 yuan, withdraw 320 yuan), remaining for further trading.
Building Positions in Batches
Initial 40% (3200 yuan) as a trial, stop loss at 5% drop (loss of 160 yuan).
Increase by 30% (2400 yuan) upon breaking previous highs, keep 30% (2400 yuan) to prevent sharp drops.
4. 4 Steps in Actual Combat (Taking BTC as an Example) 🎯
Select Targets: Only trade mainstream BTC/ETH (strong liquidity, strong anti-drawdown).
Determine Trend: Go long with bullish moving averages + MACD golden cross, do not catch falling knives in bearish conditions.
Position Building Operations: 5x leverage, buy 26000 yuan BTC with 3200 yuan, stop loss at 25700 yuan (loss of 300 yuan), take profit at 28000 yuan (profit of 400 yuan).
Daily Risk Control: Check position at close (≤10 times capital), adjust stop loss to protect profits.
5. Risk Control: 3 “Life-Saving” Lines ⚠️
Avoid 3 Types of Pitfalls:
Short-term surging coins (beware of pump), high leverage (high liquidation rate above 10x), full position operations (keep 30% cash).
