#数字货币市场回升 Futures Trading is really not gambling; many people lose because they play recklessly. I've seen too many newbies who, looking at the Candlestick, impulsively go all in, only to get liquidated and lose even their principal. In fact, by mastering a few core principles, newbies can stabilize their position.



First, let's talk about opening a position. You need to learn to look at three things: technical indicators tell you the trend direction, funding rates reflect market sentiment, and trading volume confirms authenticity. For example, if $ETH breaks through the upper Bollinger Band, while the funding rate turns positive and trading volume increases, then it's a reliable entry signal. Missing any one of these means it's not valid; lacking trading volume might indicate a false breakout, and lacking funding rates could lead you into a short trap.

Position control is the key to survival. I have set a strict rule for myself: the loss on a single trade cannot exceed 2% of the total capital. Assuming you have $10,000 in principal, when opening a long position on $BTC, after calculating the stop-loss position, the position must absolutely not allow you to lose more than $200. The isolated margin mode combined with hedging strategies can make the risk more controllable.

Don't rely on feelings for take-profit and stop-loss. I use a three-tier take-profit method: the first tier takes 30% of the position to break even, the second tier takes 50% of the position to secure half the profit, and the remaining is managed with a dynamic trailing stop to seek greater gains. Taking $SOL as an example, when it rises from 50 to 60, I first close part of the position, then reduce the position further when it reaches 70, and finally use a trailing stop to lock in profits. Reject greed, and don't let fear control you.

You must review after the market closes every day. Note the opening price, position size, stop-loss level, and final result. More importantly, clearly write down why you took these actions and where you went wrong. Stick to it for six months, and your perspective on the market will be completely different.

Use the tools when needed. TradingView can backtest your strategy's win rate in historical market data, and CoinGlass can monitor the entire network's liquidation data in real-time. When the long-short ratio is severely unbalanced, it is often a reversal signal.

Three-Day Training Plan for Newbies: On the first day, find the Bollinger Bands breakout for $ETH on TradingView and simulate opening a position to understand the indicator's function; on the second day, calculate the reasonable position size and leverage for a long position on $BTC with a $10,000 capital, setting a stop loss at 3%; on the third day, design three take profit plans for $SOL, backtesting its performance over the last three months.

The market is always smarter than you. Surviving is the only chance to wait for the real bull market. These methods sound simple, but less than one in ten actually do them.

You’re right, but execution is difficult. The guy next to me also understands the 2% rule, but in the end, he still went all in and lost everything.

Sounds good, but I've seen too many people who followed this trap end up losing everything.

Looking at so many details, it’s still the same saying – living is more important than making money.

It is worth noting that the risk management framework in this article is essentially describing the problem of incentive incompatibility—the 2% stop loss rule is fundamentally a mechanism design that creates a cap on profits, but from the perspective of token economics, it overlooks the assumption of heterogeneity among market participants. According to the economic model in the White Paper, the effectiveness of this fixed percentage stop loss in a high fluctuation environment has multiple equilibrium solutions... No, what the hell am I saying, it's just that newbies tend to be greedy, and they need to set a stop loss point, it’s not that complicated.

You're right, I've really seen too many all in get liquidated situations, it's just ridiculous. The key is still discipline, I'm also using the 2% stop loss strategy, you have to stay alive to make money.
