You might not know how to play contracts at all? (valuable insights sharing)
If you are in a losing position with your contract, and you want to turn losses into profits, then you should read this article carefully. Following these six points will ensure that you can achieve profitability 100%.
1: Learn to take profits and cut losses
The market changes rapidly, and you must learn to take profits and cut losses. This is not as difficult as it sounds. Taking profits controls your greed; a coin will not keep rising indefinitely, nor will it keep falling; there are cycles. Therefore, taking profits becomes particularly important. Don't always worry about closing your position too early and missing out on future profits! You must remember that the money in the crypto space is not something you can earn endlessly, but the money in your account can be entirely lost.
Cutting losses means giving up on sunk costs, which is very difficult. Don't always think that if you hold on for a moment, the market will reverse in the next second; never think that way. If you're wrong, you're wrong, and you must acknowledge it. When facing difficulties, stand firm; losing an arm to survive may hurt, but it can truly save your life. Second: Do not trade frequently.
It's a big taboo; don't always think about making profits in both directions. Wake up, not many people can do that. Be content with profiting from one side. Another point is the transaction fees; it's manageable with low leverage, but it's painful with high leverage. As soon as you open a position, you lose 1 to 2 points of profit. You need to ensure that this trade will make money; otherwise, opening this trade is meaningless, as all the profits go to the market makers as fees!
Three: Learn to be in cash.
When you don't understand the market trend, don't blindly open positions. At this time, you have to admit that missing out on a market feels uncomfortable. So I have to ask you, which is more uncomfortable: missing out or losing money? Not understanding the market and blindly opening positions despite not grasping the direction is no different from gambling!
Trading emphasizes a probability advantage; no one can accurately predict whether prices will rise or fall, as the market changes too quickly. One can only say that there is a high probability of rising or falling.
Four: Gradual Progression
Don't always think you can become a big fat person all at once; haste makes waste!
The cryptocurrency space won't make you rich overnight. For example, if you invest 100U and leverage it 10 times, your position is 1000U. If it rises by one point, you earn 10U; if it rises by two points, you earn 20U. That's enough for a breakfast, right? Nowadays, working in a factory earns you about 15U an hour. If you can make three to four trades a day with a win rate of 60-70%, it's not less comfortable than working in a factory.
Five: Do not heavily invest all in one go.
Never, ever go all in with heavy positions. If something unexpected happens, you could lose everything. For example, if the market is up as expected, but suddenly a major news event causes it to plummet, and you haven't set a stop loss, then you're finished! So, don't rush into things; always trade with light positions and focus on being stable. The crypto market is full of opportunities and will always have market movements. At least for the next 10 to 20 years, they will be there, so don't be fooled by the illusions in front of you!
Six: It is important to ensure that knowledge and action are unified.
This point is indeed quite difficult, and sometimes I can't fully achieve it either. The weaknesses of human nature are hard to grasp!
I used to be a newbie as well; I didn't understand these basic issues at first, blindly opening orders without a plan! After being in the industry for a while, you'll realize that the cryptocurrency world can truly change your fate! The prerequisite is that you must have a mindset that far exceeds others, the courage to take risks, the decisiveness to cut losses in time, and the determination to survive at all costs! Otherwise, you will never become one of the 1% destined for greatness!
