Pain points focus: Beginners frequently face liquidation, emotional trading, and rapid depletion of capital.
Core takeaway:
"Position management is the cornerstone of survival"
Control the risk of a single trade to 1%-5% of total capital, avoiding a "one-shot gamble." For example, with a capital of 100,000, the maximum stop-loss limit for each position is 5,000 yuan, to prevent being unable to recover after consecutive losses.
Small accounts need to be more cautious: only engage in short-term trades, no more than 3 trades per day, to avoid frequent operations leading to psychological imbalance.
"Leverage is not a gambling tool, it is a tool"
The leverage multiple is directly proportional to the risk. Beginners are advised to use leverage below 5 times, while conservative traders may even use 1-3 times. High leverage (e.g., 50 times) can magnify returns, but a single reverse fluctuation can trigger a strong liquidation.
Example: When the price of Bitcoin fluctuates by 5%, a 10x leveraged account loses 50%, while a 3x leveraged account only loses 15%.
"Stop loss and take profit are discipline, not suggestions."
Set the stop loss point at "3%-5% of the opening price," and the take profit point can be set at "1.5-2 times the stop loss point" (profit-loss ratio > 1). For example, if you open a long position on BTC at $30,000, set the stop loss at $29,000 and the take profit at $32,000.
After making a profit, secure part of it, and set the remaining position's stop loss at the cost price to avoid the psychological gap of 'turning profits into losses.'
Personal opinion:
"I have seen too many people double their money overnight, but even more lose everything overnight. The contract market is not a casino; surviving is more important than making quick profits. There was once a student who turned 2000U into 100,000U, and the key was not how great the technology was, but that each loss did not exceed 100U, which is the power of compound interest."
