If you are trading contracts in the crypto world, remember one thing first: between huge profits and liquidation, there's only a thin line.
Brother Hao went from a small initial capital to significant profits, not by luck, but by following five ironclad rules for survival. Contracts are a double-edged sword; they can help you reach the top or wipe you out.
My approach is very extreme: divide the total capital into 10 parts, use only 10% of the capital each time, and leverage 100 times. If the direction is correct, a 1% move doubles your money; if wrong, that 10% is gone instantly. But as long as you stick to these five iron rules, you can survive.
First rule: Cut losses immediately when wrong, don’t hesitate
At the stop-loss point, get out immediately. Accepting a loss is always better than liquidation.
Second rule: Stop after five consecutive losses
Five consecutive wrong trades mean the market isn't suitable for you. Turn off your computer, step away, and check again the next day.
Third rule: Withdraw profits, secure your gains
Once you earn a certain amount (like 30% of your capital), at least take out half. Having the money in hand is real.
Fourth rule: Follow the trend, avoid choppiness
In a trending market, high leverage is like printing money; in choppy markets, it’s a meat grinder. When the direction is unclear, better to stay out.
Fifth rule: Never risk more than 10% of your capital in a single trade
Going all-in is suicide. Only risk 10% each time; you can afford to lose, and you can also win steadily.
Remember: #币圈 contracts are not a fast track to get rich overnight.
Embed these five iron rules deep in your bones—no gambling, no holding, no illusions. Survive first, then talk about profits.
