#玩合约 The core is to control risks and not be greedy. Both beginners and experienced traders must adhere to these life-and-death lines, especially in the cryptocurrency contract market where leverage is high and volatility is significant. A wrong step may lead to liquidation:
1. Control leverage first, then talk about profit (the most critical)
- Beginners should absolutely avoid leverage above 10x, and it is recommended to start from 1-5x. The higher the leverage, the exponentially increasing risk of liquidation (for example, with 20x leverage, a 5% reverse price movement could lead to liquidation).
- Never over-invest; keep the amount of a single position within 5% of total funds to avoid losing all capital in one mistake.
2. Always set stop-loss/stop-profit; never bear it hard
- When opening a position, a stop-loss must be set. The stop-loss point should be determined based on your risk tolerance (for example, stop-loss if there is a 2-3% reverse movement), eliminating the lucky thinking of "waiting for a possible rebound."
- Set stop-profit in a timely manner when in profit (or move stop-profit), cash in for safety, and do not let greed lead to profits turning into losses.
3. Do not blindly follow the trend; refuse to "all in"
- Do not follow so-called "big shots" or "insider information" to heavily invest; there is no guaranteed profit in the contract market, and following the trend is likely to end up as the bag holder.
- Only trade in markets you understand. If you do not understand or see abnormal volatility (for example, after significant positive/negative news), resolutely stay out and observe.
4. Manage your mindset; refuse emotional trading
- After a loss, do not rush to "make up for losses" by doubling down or increasing leverage; the more anxious, the more losses. Stop and review in a timely manner.
- After making a profit, do not get carried away; avoid frequent trading and arbitrarily increasing positions, and adhere to the principle of "small gains accumulating."
