Many people get excited when looking at contracts, eager to jump in. But I have to be honest, this stuff isn't something you can master through brute force.

Ultimately, contracts are just spot trading with leverage added. It sounds fancy, but in practice, it boils down to one word: amplify. Gains are amplified, risks are amplified too, making profits fly quickly but losses even harder. If you don't understand the ins and outs and rush in, you're probably just working for the market.

A lot of beginners fall into the first trap of ignoring funding fees. When positive funding rates appear, longs are paying shorts. Still chasing longs at this point? That's basically taking the last hit. Conversely, with negative funding rates, shorts are paying longs. The market might not have finished its move yet, so don't rush to think you've found the bottom.

Regarding leverage multiples, don't max it out right away. It's not about testing courage; it's about understanding your own discipline. 3 to 5x is already a reasonable limit for beginners. Over 10x? That's not about bravery anymore; it's about testing your discipline.

My own approach to contract trading is quite simple. First, look at the big picture—being aligned on the daily chart is crucial. No matter how precise your short-term analysis is, if the direction is wrong, it's all pointless. Once the direction is confirmed, wait for a pullback opportunity; don't chase the price. If the position feels uncomfortable, better to miss out than force an entry.

Once you open a position, set your stop-loss immediately. Close out when losses hit the limit—no lingering hopes. When you make profits, don’t wait for dreams to come true; take a few points of profit and lock in the gains. Let real money go into your wallet first.

There's also a detail that's easy to overlook: position management. Using 30% of your total funds for a single trade is already a heavy hand. Don’t put your entire net worth on one K-line. Contracts don’t turn around that fast; success depends on surviving long enough to win steadily.

Let me share something tough—markets create opportunities every day, but once your principal is gone, all those opportunities mean nothing to you.

I've been down this road, stepped into those pits myself. The path is laid out here; whether you walk into it is your decision.
