This market, at its core, is just "harvesting," but why are so many still rushing in? Because its initial promise to you was called "hope."

Honestly, most traders simply don't understand the underlying logic of contracts.

The exchange's billboard shows 5x, 10x leverage—do you take it seriously? Let's look at it from a different perspective. An account with 10,000 USDT, losing 500 USDT triggers a liquidation line, yet you insist on opening a 30,000 USDT position—on paper, that's 5x leverage, but in reality, your risk leverage has skyrocketed to 60x. The problem is, most people haven't calculated this properly and are still immersed in the illusion of guaranteed profits.

Those who truly survive in this market understand one thing: contracts are fundamentally risk hedging tools, not gambling games. Where do your profits come from? Not luck, but from the principal of those who got liquidated. So you'll find that professional traders spend 70% of their time waiting—waiting for the right market conditions. When the opportunity arises, they strike precisely to harvest. Compared to ordinary retail traders constantly messing around in the market, professional players operate at a completely different pace.

If you want to survive longer in contracts, remember four words: contrarian operations.

When others panic and sell, stay calm. When others greedily go all-in, actively reduce leverage. How to set stop-loss? Strictly enforce it—never let a single loss exceed 5% of your account. But once you’re in profit, turn around and walk away—no luck involved—take profit at least twice as much as your stop-loss. It sounds like a math problem, but in reality, it’s just that simple and straightforward.

There are always people online saying, "Contracts are just gambling." Wrong. Getting liquidated is indeed gambling because you're relying on feelings. We make money because there's logic, data, and review behind it.

If you're still placing orders based on intuition, my advice is two words: go to bed early. After all, in dreams, everything makes money.

That's right, most people haven't properly calculated the risk leverage and are still counting money in their dreams.

That's right, most people haven't figured out whether they are trading or gambling.

That's right, but anyone who could figure out this calculation would have been gone long ago.

No problem, most people are blinded by the numbers of leverage, and only a few actually do the math. --- 60x risk leverage? It's no wonder they keep getting liquidated, no surprise there are headless bodies everywhere. --- The phrase "counter-human operation" is spot on, but the problem is 99% of people can't do it. --- Stop loss at 5%, take profit at 10%, sounds simple, but actually executing it is extremely difficult. --- Making money in dreams haha, that really hits hard. --- Professional traders spend 70% of their time waiting, I don't even have the patience to wait. --- Contracts aren't gambling? Then what is my account losing, do you feel it? --- I've already gone to bed early because I rely on intuition to place orders, I can't wake up for that. --- It's not easy at all, how many people can truly survive? --- I understand the logic of harvesting, but it's not my turn to make that money.
