#数字资产市场动态 Some practical summaries about spot and leverage trading, shared for everyone's reference:

**Five Key Points**

First, coins that break out with increased volume at low levels are worth following, but leverage should be controlled above 10x to be meaningful. Second, always operate in the direction where you can earn fees, just like smoothly following the grain, and firmly avoid paying funding fees. Third, prioritize going long; shorting is not very cost-effective, and if you are very confident, only try with ultra-low leverage. Fourth, after making a profit, add to your position; use the earned money as principal cushion. The worst case is breaking even, and the best case is making a profit. Fifth and most crucial—never add to your position before making a profit.

**Secrets of Timing and Opponent’s Orders**

Never place orders during Asian sleeping hours. At that time, there are very few opponents, and your trading counterparts are mostly robots, making both long and short positions easy to be eaten up. How to tell if a coin’s contract is being controlled by robots? Look at its price trend. If it’s constantly stuck at a certain point, neither going up nor down, and you enter and it moves in the opposite direction, then it’s 100% locked by robots. In such cases, do not place any stop-loss orders because there’s no bottom line; you will just be swept away by robots.

**Swing Opportunities and Safety First**

Coins with volatile price swings actually offer swing trading opportunities, and you can still make some points. The prerequisite is strict stop-loss execution and risk control. In comparison, the period after dinner in China is the most suitable for trading—there are real opponents, and both longs and shorts have room to maneuver. Specifically, 7 PM to 10 PM is the golden time, where you won’t make big money but also won’t be eaten alive. After 11 PM, the situation becomes more dangerous.

Final note: This is not investment advice; it’s best to stay away from contract trading as much as possible. $BTC $BNB
