Perpetual Contract Survival Guide: If you play leverage well, you can enjoy barbecue every day!
Brothers, today let's talk hardcore — perpetual contracts, in simple terms, are like a futures class that "never graduates." No need to worry about delivery dates; as long as you don't get liquidated, you can hold as long as you want. It's simply a blessing for all-night traders!
### **How to choose the leverage ratio? The veterans are arguing**
In the circle, some are stable at 30 times, while others are crazily partying at 50 times. But honestly, since you’re playing contracts, what's the difference between 1x leverage and buying spot? For example 🌰: a certain popular coin, with 100x leverage, you can get in with just 5U, while 30x requires 16U. In the same market situation, you can buy milk tea freedom with the profits from 100x, but with 1x, you might not even cover the transaction fees...
**But! That!** (Knock on the blackboard)
Never play luxury games with instant noodle money! I've seen too many people opening 100x with a 500U principal, and as soon as the market slightly moves, they get wiped out. Remember: **Leverage is an amplifier, not a money printer**. It’s suggested to keep an extra 20% margin, to keep your account warm and cozy~
### **Liquidation Warning! Never learn these risky moves**
1. **Stubbornly holding positions**: Thinking you're the "Yang Guo of the crypto world," but end up as the "Little Dragon Girl of Liquidation"
2. **All-in gamble**: This isn't investing, it's sending warmth to the exchange
3. **Adding to losing positions**: Buying more as prices fall? The exchange loves generous people like you
**Survival tips**:
✅ Use isolated margin mode, so that if you lose this trade, you can still place another order
✅ Set stop losses decisively, more decisive than an ex
✅ Daily small goals (like making 50U on a 5000U principal), once achieved, call it a day
### **Realistic profit calculation (nailed it)**
Assuming you earn 1%-2% daily and achieve your goal for 20 days in a month:
- 5000U × 1% × 20 days = 1000U
- Even if you have a few bad days, you’ll still have a few hundred U guaranteed
Isn't this more exciting than bank wealth management? But remember — **Contracts are not a casino, you need to calculate to survive long**
Finally, here’s a mantra for you:
"Lower the leverage, set stop losses early,
Run fast when making money, stay far from liquidation."
