#比特币与黄金战争 Why are there always people rushing into the contract market? Because it initially offers hope, and only later brings despair.
Most people haven't truly understood the logic behind leverage. When an exchange shows 5x or 10x leverage, it doesn't mean the risk is also 5x. With a 10,000 USDT account, a 500 USDT margin can lead to liquidation, yet you open a 30,000 USDT position—that looks like 5x leverage on paper, but in reality, you're bearing 60x risk. Many are completely unaware of this and remain confident.
Those who truly master contracts understand one principle: this is not speculation or gambling, but risk hedging. The money you make essentially comes from others' liquidation losses. Therefore, top traders spend 70% of their time observing and waiting; if the market doesn't meet their conditions, they stay on the sidelines. Once they act, they go straight for the highest probability entry point. This approach is completely different from most people frantically messing around on the K-line every day.
Want to survive in the contract market? The core is one thing—counter-human nature operations. Stay calm when others panic, exercise restraint when others are greedy. Be ruthless with stop-losses; never risk more than 5% of your principal on a single trade. Be quick with take-profit; when taking profits, be more decisive than anyone else, with at least twice the distance of your stop-loss.
Some say contracts are just gambling? Wrong. When you get liquidated based on feelings, you're gambling; but when we make money through logical calculations, that's different.
If you're still trading based on intuition, I advise you to go to bed early and stop staying up late—you can win any trade in your dreams.

That 60x risk part was incredible. Most people really didn't do the math and still think they're clever.

Wake up, have you really calculated the 60x risk? Most people haven't.

The part about 60x risk really hits home; how many people haven't even calculated their losses and just charged ahead.

There's nothing wrong with what this article says; the key issue is that most people have no discipline. They watch the market all day, impulsively place trades, and end up getting completely wiped out.

That hits too close to home. The buddies around me are the type to confidently open a 30,000 position, and now they've become experts, haha.
