#数字资产市场洞察 $ETH Risk Management Guide for Contract Trading

Shorting Ethereum requires a strategic approach — it’s not about luck, but solid position management. Traders of different sizes should adopt different strategies; small retail traders and large institutions using the same leverage can double the risk of liquidation.

Currently, the crypto market is highly volatile, with daily fluctuations. Experienced traders typically deploy their positions in batches, often finding three different entry points within a single day — the key is to wait for clear signals before acting. Adjusting positions in real-time and strictly controlling individual trade risks are the secrets to survival.

If your capital is less than a few million, you need to be even more cautious. Market changes are unpredictable, so avoid blindly following the trend. Wait for the right entry points, adjust leverage according to your risk tolerance, and you can achieve steady profits in this market wave.

To be honest, I think this set of theories all sound correct, but in actual execution, it's still easy to get confused by the market fluctuations. I just want to know what exactly "clear" signals look like. Every time I think I see the result, I still get caught. Small investors should just be honest and straightforward, and not try so many tricks.

There's nothing wrong with that, but how many people can really do it? I've seen too many people talk about phased strategies but end up going all-in at once. Right now, you really have to wait for the signal; otherwise, you're just feeding money to the exchange. If your capital isn't enough, don't use leverage. Isn't it better to honestly hold spot?

That's true, but I see many people go all-in right after entering the market, no wonder they get wrecked. Don't play with leverage recklessly; if you're under a few million, you really have no right to do whatever you want. I've been using this phased approach to layout for a long time, and I live longer than others.

Really speaking, small retail investors are the most likely to fall into traps; once leverage is used, it's hard to stop. Those who get liquidated are all greedy; I've seen too many cases. Gradual positioning is crucial; going all-in at once is just asking for death. With less capital, it's even more important to control single-trade risk. It's not being stingy, it's about survival. If the signals are unclear, I won't act. Better to miss out than to get into a bad position.

That's right, small investors really can't afford the same leverage, I've fallen for this myself. I agree with the idea of entering in batches; rushing in is not advisable, and stubbornly holding on when signals are unclear is just asking for trouble. Don't think about getting rich quick if you're below a few million; staying alive is more important than anything. Waiting for the right opportunity is much more comfortable than rushing blindly, so let this market trend go to those gamblers. Honestly, risk management is the core, not some complicated strategy.

Uh... it's the same old leverage argument again, why does everyone make it sound so simple? I can't see the market signals clearly during the day, only to understand them at night, and by then the opportunity has already passed.

There's nothing wrong with that, but for small retail investors, all their talk is useless. As long as you're willing to use leverage, it's a dead end. I've heard this strategy of gradual positioning too many times. When it actually hits liquidation, it's all nonsense. Using a small principal to trade contracts? That's gambler mentality. I advise everyone not to follow this.
