Trading with 1000U in contracts, I only use this one trick, and liquidation is getting further and further away from me
Brothers, recently my private messages have been flooding, and the most asked question is: Cousin, I only have a few hundred or a thousand dollars, how do I trade contracts?
Alright, today I’ll directly share with you the basics of how I trade contracts
1000U, don’t foolishly rush in all at once. I don’t care how confident you are, first split it into 10 parts. Only take 100U each time, and open 20X leverage.
Don’t argue with me about the leverage being too low and earning slowly, newbies go straight to 50X or 100X, I see one blow up one, and the mentality collapses first
What to do with the remaining 900U? Throw it into financial management as support.
When that 100U loses, it’s not to top up and seek revenge, it’s to stop. Turn off the screen, play a couple of games, and sleep.
The market is like a bus, if you miss this one, there’s another one coming.
Once you’ve thought it through, divide the remaining 900U into 10 parts, each 90U, and keep grinding.
Suppose you’re lucky this time, and 90U turns into 300U, immediately withdraw 200U, and continue playing with the rest.
Why? Because the less money in your account, the clearer your mind.
Real money in hand is a different story from the numbers on the screen.
Many people don’t understand how easy it is to get liquidated in contracts.
10X leverage, if the direction is wrong by 10%, it’s instant zero.
Even if you win 100 times in a row, just one time you get overexcited and go all-in, and when a black swan hits, it’s a night back to the beginning.
Those who have truly lasted long, their win rate is about 60%, not because they always see the right trend, but because of position size and rhythm.
My rules for myself:
Start with 30-50U, that’s enough
Cap at 20X, don’t be greedy
Always set a stop-loss when entering, run away immediately if losing 20-30 dollars, don’t think you can hold on and recover
Use retracement method for take profit, take it when profit drops back 30%, don’t let the cooked duck fly away
When you make money, remember to withdraw. Don’t let the numbers in your account deceive you, only the withdrawn money belongs to you
If you lose more than 2% in a day, stop.
Losing up to 6%, close all positions, shut down, and rest for a couple of days
When you’re in a bad mood, don’t touch the market.
Yelling at the K-line only burns yourself
Never go against the trend. The market is more stubborn than you
Add to positions only pyramid style, smaller and smaller, don’t add more and more heavily
In trading contracts, if you can’t control your position and mentality, you will eventually go to zero.
If you can listen and learn, we can go far together
If you still don’t know how to do it now, follow Brother Hao. As long as you’re willing to learn, Cousin is always here $ETH
