Many people just enter the contract market and immediately ask, "How to catch waves and double my money?" In fact, they should first ask themselves: "How to avoid liquidation?"
Let's say $ICNT
For these kinds of assets, beginners should never think about going all in with their 1000U; they need to treat this money as a "revival item" and divide it into several parts for use.
Every time, only use 10%-15% of the funds to test things out, and the rest should either stay in a stablecoin wallet or be used for grid arbitrage as a base.
You are here to profit in the long term, not to show off your operations in a live stream.
If you're in a losing position, don't get impulsive and try to average down; that’s the first step towards liquidation.
The correct action is to immediately stop loss and close the software, review the K-line structure and entry logic, and at least take a break for two days.
The cryptocurrency market is never short of trends; what it lacks are people who can calmly wait for opportunities. Emotional trading is no different from giving away money.
If you happen to make a profit, first transfer 30%-50% to a cold wallet; this is called "building a safety cushion."
Having some secured profits in your account changes your holding mentality completely;
If you invest all profits back into your position, a single extreme market spike can bring you back to your original capital.
Don’t blindly believe in the nonsense of "80% win rate"; even if you win nine out of ten trades, as long as you don't set a stop loss and go all in on one trade, you can still end up at zero.
What contracts depend on is not market judgment but risk exposure control and trading discipline.
Finally, remember this: when your mentality collapses, you face continuous stop losses, and life is a mess, absolutely do not touch trading; that’s not trading, that’s an emotional flood.
Beginners remember this mantra: trade lightly, test things out, set good stop losses, and take profits.
Contracts are a marathon, not a sprint; living longer is the real victory.
