$ZEC , to be honest, I'm not here to show off today. When it comes to playing with contracts, you want to walk away alive and with money? You need to engrave these tricks into your mind first.

$LA In this crypto world, money comes fast and leaves even faster. Let’s skip the fluff and just talk about how to actually make money with contracts and get out in one piece.

$MYX I once knew a friend who entered the market three months ago with 2,000 USDT, couldn’t even tell the difference between perpetuals and delivery contracts. Now? He’s got 220,000 USDT in his account.

He didn’t rely on luck, but on this one principle—survival always comes first.

The method is pretty straightforward: try out with 1,000 USDT, use just 200 USDT each time to open a 50x contract. With 50x leverage, if you get the direction right, a 2% price move can almost double your money; if you’re wrong, you can cut losses quickly. But there are five rules here—break any one, and you could get wiped out.

**Cut your losses immediately if you’re wrong—don’t hope for a rebound.** When I first started, I got liquidated twice—both times because I thought, “wait and it’ll recover.” Later I realized, once you hit your stop-loss, close the position quickly—staying alive is more important than anything. Trying to prove yourself right against the market? That’s a death wish.

**If you lose three trades in a row, just stop.** Sometimes the market goes crazy, and if you keep forcing it, your mindset will collapse and you’ll lose even more. My hard rule: If I lose three trades in a row, I shut down and do something else, wait for a clearer market tomorrow. Those traps? The market’s already filled them.

**Withdraw once you make 2,000 USDT—don’t get greedy.** The numbers in your account are just smoke—one retracement and you could be back to zero. Now, whenever I make 2,000 USDT, I immediately withdraw 1,000 USDT to a cold wallet. Only the money in hand is real. Keep rolling the rest—you’ll feel much more secure.

**Only trade when there’s a clear trend—sit out the sideways markets.** When there’s an obvious trend, 50x leverage can really amplify profits; but when the market’s choppy, leverage turns into a scythe. No direction? Just stare at the chart, don’t itch to trade—random trades are just giving money away.

**Light positions are key—never go all in.** With a small position, you can handle minor swings and stop out quickly. Going all in is like walking around with a bundle of dynamite—one wrong move and you’re blown up. Light positions are the foundation for steady gains.

Remember, move steadily and you’ll be the one laughing at the end in crypto.
