Friends often ask me how exactly I open positions and manage risks when trading contracts.


$ZKP
Today, let me just break down this practical framework in detail.
$ETH
It may not be super sophisticated, but it's clean and effective.
My position-opening rhythm is roughly divided into four steps:
Step 1: Build a base position, only enter 20%.
Step 2: If wrong, accept it.
If it drops 10%, exit immediately. No holding onto losing positions, no adding to losers, and certainly no wishful thinking.
This stop-loss is strictly controlled within 2% of total capital.
Step 3: Only add when direction is confirmed.
When floating profit reaches 10%, add 20% position.
If it rises another 10%, add another 20%.
Finally, use the remaining 40% to go all in, letting profits run naturally.
Step 4: Hold the bottom line.
After adding positions with floating profits, as long as the overall position profit does not fall back to the 10% threshold, keep holding.
Once it breaks below, clear everything, leaving no tail.
The core of this framework is actually aligning with the old-school trading philosophy of Livermore: lock down risk and let profits find their own way.
Of course, you'll inevitably encounter various surprises in actual implementation, because the market is always changing.
I don't always execute perfectly every time, but following this rhythm, my account curve has indeed become much more stable than before.
It's not a holy grail, but it has helped me avoid many big pitfalls.
The worst thing in contract trading is having no discipline, rushing in when emotions flare up. Having a method makes a huge difference.
By the way, the ETH long order I gave at noon has already taken profit at the first target.
Next, just keep your defenses ready and wait for the second target.
Daily trades, consistent profits. For those who are still confused about trading and want to make gains, recover losses, and turn things around, hurry up and get on board!

This stop-loss discipline is indeed clean and crisp. The rhythm of a 2% red line plus adding positions on unrealized gains is much more stable than those who go all-in with full margin. Livermore's old-school logic actually works well in futures contracts.
