I witnessed a big player lose 50 million in just 3 days, only to achieve a net worth of 1 billion in one year. He told me that the secret to making a profit in perpetual contracts lies not in technical indicators, but in these hard-earned lessons.
Do you remember that crash in 2023? Ethereum halved in a single day, and countless contract players were liquidated and left the market. But true trading experts sensed opportunity amid the panic. Today, I will share not only foolproof techniques but also a survival philosophy that will help you thrive in the crypto world.
1. The deadly temptation and survival traps of perpetual contracts
The core appeal of perpetual contracts lies in the double-edged sword effect of leverage; 10x leverage means that a 1% price fluctuation can lead to a 10% profit or loss. However, most people only see the amplified gains and overlook a mathematical fact: even with a 55% win rate and a risk-reward ratio of 1.2, if the position is out of control, a single mistake can wipe out all profits.
My core view: Perpetual contracts are not a casino but a probability game. Real players who make consistent profits are doing two things:
Replace intuitive trading with mathematical thinking: profit formula = initial capital × (average profit × win rate - average loss × loss rate)
Replace blind chasing with risk control: each stop loss ≤ 5% of total funds, profit > 5%, win rate > 50%
2. The secrets of position management that experienced traders never reveal
1. Pyramid adding position rule
When the trend is confirmed, open the first position with 30% of funds, and add positions in batches after the price pulls back or breaks through key levels. For example, after Ethereum breaks the 3000 mark and pulls back without breaking 2950, you can add 20% to the position, rather than filling the position all at once.
2. Account splitting strategy
Divide total funds into 10 parts, control each transaction risk exposure at 1%-2%. For example, with a 100,000 account, the single stop loss amount is 1,000-2,000, so even if you lose 10 times in a row, more than 80% of the capital is still retained.
3. The golden rule of trend trading
Trend trading is the key to perpetual contracts. But 90% of people misunderstand "trend":
In an upward trend: any pullback of 10%-20% is a long opportunity
In a downtrend: short when rebounding to resistance levels, rather than blindly catching the bottom.
Key technique: Use the middle track of the BOLL indicator as the dividing line for long and short positions. When the price stands above the middle track and MACD shows a golden cross, only go long; conversely, go short.
4. The art of profit-taking and stop-loss
Ordinary players set fixed ratios for profit-taking and stop-loss based on feeling
Expert profit-taking and stop-loss: dynamic adjustment + psychological position judgment
My exclusive strategy:
Profit protection: close 50% of the position when floating profit reaches 20%, set the stop loss of the remaining position at the cost price
Move the stop loss up: each time a key resistance level is broken, raise the stop loss to the previous low
5. The three ultimate secrets of mindset management
No more than 3 trades per day to avoid fatigue decisions
Shut down immediately after two consecutive stop losses to prevent revenge trading
Do not add positions after making a profit, maintain strategy consistency
