The real reason for contract account losses: technology is not the main cause; psychological vulnerabilities from repeatedly stepping into the same traps are the killers.



The fastest way for an account to shrink is never due to unexpected market movements, but because traders repeatedly make the same mistakes. These seven traps, if you fall into more than three, will double your risk of liquidation.

**Can't Stop the Impulse to Trade** #数字资产市场动态 When not holding a position, fear of missing any fluctuation; once a trade is opened, fear of profits being pulled back. The result is frequent opening and closing of positions, appearing diligent but actually just generating fees for the exchange. Heartbreaking data: accounts with over 10 operations per day have a survival rate of less than 15% over the next three months.

**Hesitation and Indecision**
Today bullish, tomorrow bearish, the day after switching again. The speed of switching between long and short is faster than market price fluctuations. Trends have inertia; frequently changing direction only disrupts your rhythm, ultimately leading to being slapped in the face by the market.

**Blindly Buying the Dip** $SOL
Is a sharp decline an opportunity? Not necessarily. Most so-called rebounds are actually long traps set by the big players. Beginners buying the dip often become the trigger for liquidation, with a heavy position leading directly to liquidation.

**Getting the Market Right but Still Not Making Money**
When the trend is clear, traders start to hesitate—worried about a pullback, afraid of being stabbed, insisting on 100% confirmation before acting. By the time you confirm, the best opportunity has already slipped away. The key in contract trading is not to find the lowest point, but to dare to take the first step before the trend starts.

**Blaming All Losses on the Main Players**
Individual retail traders' positions have little impact on the overall market trend. Those accounts that get beaten passively usually have problems themselves—no trading plan, no discipline, just reckless operations based on feelings.

**Going All-In and Gambling Your Life** $BNB
The joy of full position lasts only three seconds, but the pain of liquidation lasts a lifetime. Position management is not advanced technology; it is the most basic survival bottom line. Opening a position with more than 20% of your account balance essentially destroys your risk resistance.

**Reluctant to Close Losing Orders**
Stop-loss is not admitting defeat; it’s stopping the bleeding. Those fighting against the market will ultimately be swept out.

**Underlying Logic of Contract Trading**
Avoiding pitfalls is always more realistic than making more money. Before clicking the open position button, ask yourself honestly: Is this a planned trade, or a gamble driven by emotion?

It's too late to realize now; I've already stepped into seven pits.

Really, itching to trade is a terminal illness... Making a dozen trades a day, and you'll go bankrupt in three months --- Damn, that stance wobbling really hit home, I’ve been called out like that --- Bottom-fishing rebound orders? You're just giving money to the main players, no escape --- The most heartbreaking thing is seeing the right opportunity but still can't act... the chance slips away so fast --- Those blaming the main players should reflect on their own lousy discipline --- Full position in three seconds for happiness, getting wiped out forever for pain, no problem --- Brothers who can't bring themselves to cut losses, still dreaming of miracles, huh --- I've stepped on all seven of these, now just thinking about how to lose less money... --- Feels like this was written about me... frequent trading just hit the mark directly --- Position management is really basic, over 20% and you're asking for death

Honestly, I have deep experience with frequent opening and closing positions; trading fees are truly the silent killer. --- The most heartbreaking thing is "seeing the right opportunity but still not making any profit." Always waiting for that perfect entry point, but by the time the market moves, it's already gone. --- I've heard too many bloody stories about all-in strategies... Why is it that some people just can't change? --- The group that can't bear to cut losses is really just dead set against the market, and in the end, they get swept out. --- I've seen many wavering stances; today the bullish hunter, tomorrow the short-term defender. It made me laugh so hard I almost cried. --- Bottom fishing rebound orders are the easiest way to get people sent away; the main players are just waiting for this wave of retail investors. --- People who blame the main players are always there every day; have they ever thought that they might be the real problem? --- Remember the 20% opening position ratio; without discipline, you really can't play futures.

Hey, isn't this talking about me? The kind of daily average of 20 transactions, the mining fees are almost catching up to my earnings.

Really, this itchy hand disease needs treatment, otherwise you're just burning money playing. --- Going all-in and getting liquidated, my friend lost 50,000 yuan this way, and he's still regretting it. --- Wavering on your stance is too heartbreaking, I often do that, and then get slapped in the face. --- It's really a mindset issue; no matter how good your skills are, a collapsed mentality is useless. --- Looking at the market and getting tangled up, who isn't like that? It's just a lack of courage. --- Stop-loss is really difficult, always wanting to wait for a rebound, but the more you wait, the deeper it gets. --- Frequent opening of positions is really incredible, a 15% survival rate, outrageous.

To be honest, the itchiness is really top-notch. Eight out of ten big brothers around me who got liquidated have this problem. --- Going all-in with full position is indeed exciting, but it immediately takes you back to the pre-liberation era, which is totally not worth it. --- The most heartbreaking thing is that even when you see the right signals, you start to doubt yourself, and as a result, you miss the actual entry. --- Setting stop-losses too tightly actually allows you to survive the longest, which is ridiculous. --- Those who survive with an average of over 10 trades per day are truly lucky beyond words. --- Wavering in stance, having a different idea every day, the market has long eaten you up completely. --- Buying the dip rebound orders is the most disastrous, every time thinking this wave is safe, only to become the high-position bag-holder the next second. --- Brothers still blaming the main players, first ask yourself if you have discipline in stop-losses before speaking.

Uh... isn't this just talking about me? That itchy one hits the mark. --- Seeing the full position one, I'm that idiot who gets three seconds of happiness. --- Stop-loss is not giving up, it's stopping the bleeding. Brother, that hits hard. --- Watching the market results every day and still losing money, haha, that's really desperate. --- Frequent opening of positions with a 15% survival rate... I might be that 15%, probably. --- The pain of going all-in and getting wiped out really lasts a lifetime, I've experienced it firsthand. --- The indecisiveness that hits my sore spot, I am the kind of idiot who goes long today and is bullish tomorrow. --- Ask yourself whether this is trading or gambling... actually, most people don't dare to answer honestly.
