Trading these derivatives for a long time, you still need to figure out some tricks. My experience is: you must choose either long or short, opening positions in both directions is just asking for trouble.

I personally only focus on short positions—if the entry point isn't particularly bad, I close the position as soon as the 10-minute K-line drops. Doing the same for long positions is much more difficult, requiring very high standards, ensuring that the trend doesn't reverse within at least 10 minutes; even slight fluctuations can easily lead to being washed out.

Although the liquidity for event contracts is quite good, the market volatility is indeed fierce. When encountering uncertain market conditions, I just stay put, preferring to miss out rather than get beaten badly. If anyone has any ideas, we can discuss together.

Short positions are indeed easy to close, but going long really requires paying tuition if you don't understand the market.

Short positions are indeed easier to grasp, while there are many pitfalls in going long. I also tend to be more conservative. Bro, I agree with this methodology, but I feel it still depends on market feel. Sometimes the 10-minute cycle can also get you trapped. Event contracts are highly volatile, lying flat is indeed the most comfortable choice. Wait, you said choose between long and short, so are those hedges all suicidal? The idea of quick in and out of short positions has given me a lot of inspiration, saving me from being repeatedly harvested. When I see unclear trends, I just put down my phone directly; anyway,行情 that can't be caught up with isn't worth risking.

Shorting all in, going long is just asking for death. I only believe in shorting this path. Opening on both sides? Brother, that's pure gambling mentality. Event contract liquidity is okay, but I really don't dare to move casually. I prefer to stay flat and watch, missing out is better than liquidation. Your chances of successfully bottom-fishing within ten minutes are limited; most are just being washed out. Staying put is the move I trust the most, but executing it is really damn difficult.

nah the liquidity narrative here is kinda misleading tbh... sure event contracts move but that's literally just poor validator distribution in disguise lol
