Advanced Trading Skills

Mastering some advanced techniques can enhance trading effectiveness and risk control capabilities.

Grid Trading: Gate provides a contract grid feature that supports moving grids, profit reinvestment, modifying price ranges, and other characteristics. Users can choose from three ways to set up contract grid trading: Ultra AI, recommended bots, or manual configuration. Position Management: Based on market changes, you can timely increase or decrease your position. Increasing the position refers to establishing a new contract in the same direction as the current position; decreasing the position means establishing a new contract in the opposite direction of the current position. Take Profit and Stop Loss Settings: For long positions, the take profit should be set with a trigger price greater than or equal to a certain price, while the stop loss should be set with a trigger price less than or equal to a certain price; for short positions, it is the opposite.

Risk Management Strategy

Perptual Futures trading carries higher risks, and effective risk management is crucial.

Choose leverage wisely: High leverage can amplify returns, but it also increases risk. Beginners are advised to start with lower leverage such as 5x or 10x and gradually accumulate experience. Pay close attention to the marked price: Gate uses the marked price to calculate profit and loss as well as the margin rate. The marked price is derived from the reasonable price of the contract based on the spot index price and the premium index. Paying close attention to its fluctuations helps to timely adjust strategies. Set Stop Loss and Take Profit Orders: By setting stop loss and take profit orders in advance, they can be executed automatically during sudden market fluctuations, preventing losses from widening or locking in existing profits. Diversified Investment: Avoid putting all funds into a single contract; spreading positions can reduce the impact of single market fluctuations on the account.
