I've seen too many people turn contracts into 'Russian roulette', and in the end, the bullet always ends up in their own head.
When I first entered the circle, I also once turned 20 times in one night, then lost it all in three days. Until I discovered: all the tales of 'guaranteed profits' are just a battle of mathematical probability and human nature control. Let me speak some truth today: in the contract market, the ones who survive are not the best at making money, but the ones who understand how not to lose money the best.
1. The truth about liquidation: 90% of losses come from two trades.
Why do some people make small profits 10 times in a row, only to lose everything in one go? It's because of emotional heavy betting; they are cautious when making profits, but when in losses, they fall into the 'gambler's fallacy', constantly increasing their bets in hopes of a turnaround.
My iron rule:
Single trade stop-loss ≤2% of total funds (for example, with 10,000 principal, the maximum loss is 200 yuan)
Daily maximum loss ≤5%, shut down immediately if reached.
After profits exceed 50%, withdraw the principal and play again.
It's like playing Texas Hold'em: you can fold 100 times, but you must ensure you have chips when going all-in.
2. Leverage is not a money printer, but a magnifying glass.
Beginners are obsessed with 50x, 100x leverage, but experts often only use 3-5x. Why?
Leverage amplifies volatility, not your win rate. A 5% market fluctuation with 10x leverage results in a 50% account swing, which ordinary people cannot hold.
Advice:
Mainstream coins (BTC/ETH) leverage ≤10x
Altcoin leverage ≤5x (a single spike can lead to total defeat)
Never touch 'full margin leverage'; it is an accelerator for liquidation.
Remember: high leverage is the honey of exchanges, but the poison for retail investors.
3. The trend is your friend, but don't 'marry' it.
Many people lose money because of 'holding positions,' fantasizing that the trend will return. But data shows: 80% of liquidations come from stubbornly holding against the trend.
How to judge a trend reversal? Look for two signals:
Price breaks below the 30-day moving average (short-term trend weakens)
Trading volume continues to shrink (market loses momentum)
At this point, either cut losses or hedge; never deceive yourself with 'value investing'; the contract market has only price, not faith.
4. The only path for small funds to turn around: compound interest + patience.
If you only have 5,000 yuan in capital and want to turn things around through contracts, you must accept one reality: quick wealth = quick zero.
The correct way to play with small funds:
Only do intraday swings (avoid overnight risks)
Daily trades ≤3 times (reduce transaction fee losses)
Withdraw 20% after making a profit (lock in profits)
For example: if you earn 2% daily, assuming 200 trading days in a year, 5,000 yuan can also turn into over 100,000. Slow is fast.
