Contract, not a money-making tool, but a magnifying glass.

Magnify your profits, and also magnify your mistakes.

Many people think contracts are mysterious and complicated, but their essence is very simple:

It is just a leveraged version of spot trading—fast, but dangerous.

So, if you want to trade contracts, first engrave these few points into your bones:

1. Funding rate is not an ornament, it is a directional indicator.

Positive funding rate: Longs pay Shorts → Longs are enthusiastic → Easily overextend → Don't chase.

Negative funding rate: Shorts pay Longs → Sentiment is bearish → There is room to continue pushing down.

Don’t pretend you don’t see this; it determines whether you are riding the trend or going against it.

2. Leverage is not a thrill, it is a lifeline.

The higher the leverage, the lower the margin for error.

Beginners: 3–5 times, enough for you to make money without blowing up instantly.

Above 10 times: That is the battlefield for professional players, not your casino.

You are not losing to the market; you are losing to leverage.

3. Entry relies on structure, not feelings.

First, set the major trend:

Daily trend unclear → Any short-term movement is gambling.

Look at the four-hour chart for entry:

Pullback to the Bollinger middle band

RSI turning up from a low position

Or a volume breakout at key levels

These points are what we call "trading."

4. Stop-loss is not an option, it is a bottom line.

Those who do not set stop-losses will ultimately get liquidated.

If you hit the price you set,

Immediately exit, no explanations.

Whether you can survive depends on this step.

5. Take profit must be thought out in advance.

Take profit at 10%, 20%,

Contracts rely on "multiple small victories,"

Not one big win.

The market always has the next wave,

Profits won’t wait for you.

6. Position size is the core of whether you can survive.

For a single asset, move at most 30% of your capital.

If you go all in once,

The market will teach you a lesson.

Conclusion:

Contracts are not about bravery; they are about patience, discipline, and risk control.

Whoever can survive longer can earn.
