Old investors' 4 core suggestions for beginners: first protect your life, then make money.
1. Three basics must be learned for beginners
1. Core concepts of contract trading
Perpetual contracts (no delivery date) vs. delivery contracts (with expiration date) beginners should practice with perpetuals
Leverage ≠ doubling: under 10x leverage, a 5% reverse fluctuation can lose 50% of the principal, it is recommended to start with 5x
Stop-loss must be set: set a 5%-10% stop-loss for each trade (e.g.: 5000 yuan principal, single stop-loss ≤500 yuan)
2. Choose the right platform
Only choose the top 3: Binance, OKX, ZB (90% of small platforms will run away)
Fee comparison: spot trading choose below 0.1%, for contracts pay attention to funding rates (the lower the better)
3. Iron rules of risk management
No resistance position: unconditional stop-loss if floating loss exceeds 10%, keep the principal, no fear of missing opportunities
2. Trading strategy: make money in “certainty”
1. Two rules for trend trading
Moving average judgment: in the 4-hour chart, if the 50-day line > 100-day line > 200-day line → go long; conversely, go short
Indicator assistance: when MACD is above the 0 axis golden cross + RSI > 50, enter the market, higher win rate
2. Band trading mnemonic
Do not catch the bottom in a downtrend: wait for 3 bullish candles to stabilize before buying
Do not chase highs in an uptrend: do not chase if deviating by more than 20% from the moving average, wait for a pullback to the moving average
3. Capital management: 5000 yuan split warehouse method
1. Leverage usage
Beginners use 5-10 times: with a 5000 yuan principal, open a contract of up to 50,000 yuan (10x leverage), risk of liquidation reduced by 50%
Handling floating profits: after earning 20%, first withdraw 20% of the profit (e.g.: earn 1000 yuan, withdraw 200 yuan), remaining funds for further operations
2. Build positions in batches
Initially use 40% (2000 yuan) for testing, stop loss at 5% (loss of 100 yuan)
Add 30% (1500 yuan) after breaking through the previous high, keep 30% (1500 yuan) to cope with a crash
4. Four steps in practical combat
1. Choose targets: only trade BTC/ETH (strong liquidity, resilience > 3 times that of altcoins)
2. Judge the trend: bullish moving averages + MACD golden cross → go long; bearish arrangement → do not catch the bottom
3. Position operation: open 5x leverage, buy 10000 yuan BTC with 2000 yuan, stop-loss at 9700 yuan (loss of 300 yuan), take profit at 10500 yuan (profit of 500 yuan)
4. Daily risk control: check positions before closing (not exceeding 10 times the principal), adjust stop-loss (protect profits as prices rise)
