A seasoned trader summarized several core experiences in trading contracts, which I think are truly worth mentioning.

First is the logic of selecting coins. Coins that suddenly surge with high volume at low levels are worth following. At this time, not many are willing to take action, so the opportunity is right here. Leverage can be increased to over 10x, but only if you really understand the situation clearly.

The second point is about fee rate direction. You should trade in the direction where you can earn fees, and avoid going against the capital fee, as that’s just throwing money away. It’s like a person's temper—being too impulsive is not good; you need to be more flexible.

The third point is to do as much long positions as possible. Shorting can be more aggressive when losing money. If you are confident about the market trend and want to operate in the opposite direction, use ultra-low leverage as a form of insurance.

What if you make money? The fourth point is about adding to your position. Use profits as a cushion to keep a stable mindset. Anyway, the worst case is just not making a profit, but if you want to earn, you need to aim big. Conversely, the fifth point is very critical: never add to your position when losing money—that’s the bottom line.

There’s also a detail that’s easy to overlook. During the rest period for Asians, it’s best not to place orders. The market has very few opponents, mostly robots. How to tell if a coin is being manipulated by robots? It’s simple—if the price often stays fixed in one place and then moves in the opposite direction once you enter, any orders placed are pointless. Robots are already waiting there to eat your order.

So, what coins should you trade? Look for those with frequent jumps and high volatility to do swing trading. Although you won’t make big money, a few U.S. dollars can be steadily earned. But be sure to set stop-losses—safety first.

The best trading time is from 7 PM to 10 PM China time. During this period, the market is active, participation is high, and there are opponents, giving room for both long and short positions. But be careful—after 11 PM, it becomes dangerous. Never hold positions into that time.

After saying all this, I must remind you—the waters of contract trading are deep. Think carefully before taking action.
