In the contract market, there are quite a few liquidations, but strangely, many people continue to trade even after losing. The underlying reason is actually quite heartbreaking—most traders simply don't understand what they are doing.

They see platform indicators like "5x leverage" or "10x leverage" and take it at face value, not realizing it's just a numbers game. For example, if you have 10,000 USDT in your account, losing 500 USDT shouldn't be a big deal, but in actual operation, you might open a position worth 30,000 USDT. You think you're using 5x leverage, but in reality, you're already operating with dozens of times leverage. If the market moves even slightly, liquidation becomes inevitable, and in the end, you become a market’s victim.

Truly skilled traders have a completely different mindset. They treat contracts as risk management tools, not gambling arenas. Where does the profit come from? It comes from those who get liquidated.

The rhythm of experts is like this: spend 70% of the time waiting, and 30% executing precise strikes. When they see the right market opportunity, they hit immediately, with pre-planned stop-loss and take-profit points. But most people? They tinker around aimlessly; the more frequently they operate, the faster they lose, ultimately just paying fees to the platform.

To survive in this market, there are only two words—self-control. When others panic, stay calm; when others are greedy, be even more cautious. Losses have a red line—no more than 5% of your account; when you’re profitable, dare to hold, let the profits run, and don’t rush to close positions to lock in gains.

Some equate contracts with gambling, but that’s a misunderstanding. The real gamblers are those who blindly hold large positions and go all-in based on intuition. Those who can do the math rely not on luck, but on strict trading discipline and probabilistic thinking. Going all out recklessly will eventually lead to a crash; systematic methods are the long-term survival way.
