#战略性加仓BTC Let's talk about a very practical matter—
Why do we see liquidation every day in the contract market, yet people keep jumping in?
To be honest, it's not the exchange's trap. Most people haven't fully understood the rules and are eager to jump in.
When they see platforms offering 5x, 10x leverage, many take it seriously. Think they only used 5x? Wrong.
For example: an account with $10,000. Theoretically, the maximum loss it can withstand is only a few hundred dollars. But then they open positions of $30,000 or $50,000. Claiming to be cautious, but actually risking dozens of times more. Such liquidations are not caused by sudden market crashes; they are doomed from the moment you open the position.
How do truly knowledgeable traders play? They don't treat contracts as an ATM. They see only one core logic: first figure out the maximum possible loss, then consider how much they can earn.
The money you make from contracts is not a gift from the market. It's others' liquidation that "feeds" it to you.
So you'll find—professional traders spend a lot of time waiting. When the market is unclear, they prefer to stay flat. Once they act, their logic is tight, and risks are locked in.
In contrast, many retail traders enter and exit daily, with transaction fees eating up more profit than their actual gains. Emotions become their risk control.
To survive in the contract market, there are only two core words: go against human nature.
When others panic, don't follow the trend. When others get overly excited, hit the brakes first. The most basic discipline is to keep single trade losses within 5% of the account, set stop-loss orders, and when the direction is correct, let the profit run sufficiently (at least 2 to 3 times the space).
Stop saying that contracts are gambling. If you get liquidated, it's because you're gambling; if others make money, it's because they are doing proper accounting.
If you're still relying on feelings, mood, or staying up all night to place orders, my only advice is: go to bed early. In dreams, anything can happen.
Choosing the right path is always more important than running faster.
