As a participant in the Crypto Assets market, do you often feel like you are trading at the wrong time? For example, when you anticipate that Bitcoin will rise from 47,000 USD to 48,000 USD, but you exit at 47,200 USD due to a slight pullback, only for the market to soar immediately after. Or, when you finally hold a bullish Position, but before reaching your target price, you are liquidated due to a sudden price fall. Sometimes it even feels like the market is specifically targeting your few USDT Positions - it falls when you buy, it rises when you sell, as if there are invisible eyes monitoring your every move.



Today, we will set aside those elusive trading strategies and technical indicators and directly reveal the little-known hidden rules in crypto assets contract trading. We will explore the three major hidden rules that exchanges are reluctant to mention, a deadly operational trap, and the truth behind why you feel 'the market is targeting you.' This information may not make you instantly wealthy, but it will certainly help you avoid most traps and prevent your funds from becoming someone else's liquidation 'bonus.'

First, we need to clarify a common misunderstanding: contract trading is not the same as directly trading Bitcoin. Many beginners, when they start contract trading, often think 'if I buy a Bitcoin long position, it equals buying Bitcoin'—this is a mistaken perception. In fact, the essence of contract trading is a 'price wager': if you expect the price to rise, you open a long position; if you expect the price to fall, you open a short position. In this game, the exchange acts as the dealer. The profit you earn does not come from the appreciation of Bitcoin itself, but from the losses of other traders. Similarly, when you incur losses, your money becomes the profit of others or the transaction fees of the exchange.

Let us illustrate this with a specific example:
BTC-3.22%
