X2 In One Day – About Zero In One Minute: 4 Steel Rules For Long-Term Survival Contract Players

robot
Abstract generation in progress

In contract trading, profits can come very quickly — but losses can also hit just within seconds. The one thing that separates those who survive from those who exit the game is: Discipline and Rules. Here are 4 ironclad rules that have helped many traders survive countless “liquidation sweeps” and still stand strong today. ① Funding Rate – Market Thermometer The funding rate is not just a number for fun, but a measure of the market's temperature: Positive funding rate > 0.15% → Long positions are overheating. A single pull-down could wipe out a series of positions. Negative funding rate < -0.05% → Short positions are excited. Just one rebound can create a strong bounce. 👉 Before placing an order, you must check the market's “temperature”. Don't jump in when everything is heating up. ② 3–5x Leverage – A Sharp Knife But Doesn't Cut Your Hand High leverage is not an opportunity; it is a noose. 3x for day trading + always have a stop loss. 5x for swing orders, only increase positions when there is profit. 10x or more is putting the account on the line. Wrong direction can be corrected. Wrong position can be fixed once, which is to leave the game. ③ 4-Step Order Entry Process – Absolutely Do Not Skip Steps Determine the trend: Based on the daily frame + market sentiment + moving averages in the same direction. Choose entry point: Wait for a 4-hour pullback or break out of the accumulation zone. Set stop loss: Always set a stop loss at -4% for each order, absolutely do not recover. Take profit smartly: When profit reaches 30%, withdraw the original capital, and let the remaining part run freely. 👉 Skipping any step, the market will charge tuition immediately. ④ Always Leave a Backup Position – Opportunities Are Only for Those Who Still Have “Bullets” A maximum of 30% of capital for each asset type. Total position not exceeding 80% of the account. Keep 20% as a “fire-fighting team”, ready when a real opportunity arises. Losing money doesn't hurt as much as the feeling of having an opportunity but no capital to invest. Conclusion Winning an order can be due to luck. Surviving for ten years can only rely on rules. In the world of contracts, those without discipline will be liquidated by the market instead of liquidating themselves.
