To achieve stable returns in contract trading, the key is to establish a systematic risk control framework. Sharing a practical three-layer strategy structure that may help your short-term operations.



First Layer: Intelligent Take Profit
Be alert when the coin price rises more than 10%. If it falls back to the purchase price, exit immediately. Do not close the position easily when the gain reaches 20% but is less than 10%, unless you judge that the top has been reached. If the gain reaches 30%, at least reserve 15% of the profit before considering reducing the position. The benefit of this approach is to let profits grow naturally while controlling risk.

Second Layer: Timely Stop Loss
When losses reach 15%, you should decisively cut losses. This is a critical psychological defense line. Do not hope for a rebound; timely stop loss can effectively prevent small losses from becoming larger. Every contract must have a stop-loss level set; this is the fundamental principle of trading. Losing a small amount of money to gain experience is much more worthwhile than being trapped.

Third Layer: Risk Hedging
If the coin you sold later falls back to the purchase price and you are optimistic about the future market, you can buy back the same amount. This keeps the number of coins unchanged but increases the capital, effectively lowering the cost basis. If you do not buy back in time and the price rises back to the original level, buy in unconditionally. The transaction fee cost is much lower than the risk of missing out. Adjust flexibly in conjunction with the stop-loss strategy.

The core logic is to buy and sell quickly, operate according to established principles, and not obsess over the highest or lowest points. When chasing hot spots, have a direction and avoid blindly following the trend.坚持 this system, the risks in contract trading will be greatly reduced.

It should be pointed out that this so-called "three-layer strategy" is essentially just a mechanical projection of fiat thinking onto the blockchain. Let's return to the fundamental thinking of Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper—the risk of contract trading fundamentally does not lie in the numerical settings of take profit and stop loss, but in your cognitive deficiencies regarding market liquidity and black swan events. A 15% cut-loss point? Obviously, this is a relic of traditional finance, completely ignoring the extreme volatility characteristics of the crypto market. On-chain data shows that most traders following such fixed ratio strategies ultimately become fodder for market makers. This is no coincidence.

It sounds good, but the key is execution. Most people simply can't cut their losses at 15%.

Honestly, cutting only 15%? I usually consider it only after a 20% drop, otherwise the fees eat up the profits directly. This framework sounds good, but in practice it depends on the market conditions. It feels a bit too rigid. Fast in and out I agree with, but it's easy to break during FOMO. The hedging part is a bit confusing, basically buying more as it drops? The risk is indeed high. To be honest, it's still a mindset issue. Setting a proper stop-loss is the most important, everything else is just empty talk. Can you really stick to a 15% stop-loss? I personally can't do it. This system is suitable for sideways markets; once a bull market comes, it's useless.

That's right, the key is discipline. Only those who can stick with it will make it to the end.
