In the crypto trading world, there have always been two voices. One side offers the advice "Futures liquidation is too easy, stay away from it to avoid risks," while the other side sees countless people rushing in one after another.

Why? Honestly, there’s only one answer: exchanging time difference for income.

An ordinary person earning 10,000 yuan a month from a job can, in the futures market, with the same 10,000 yuan principal and leverage, see their account double with just a 1% market fluctuation. The results of someone’s month’s work can be seen in just a few seconds. This kind of thrill is simply irresistible to many.

People who trade futures generally fall into two categories. One is large institutions or big players with substantial capital, using small positions to amplify spot gains. The other is retail traders with limited capital, hoping to change their fate through leverage. But the key point is—don’t underestimate market volatility.

When extreme market conditions hit, a 1% rise or fall can happen within a second. Popular small coins often surge by over ten percentage points in just a few minutes. Even major assets like Bitcoin, during emotional swings, can drop 3-4 points within a minute. Can you imagine, at this speed, can stop-loss orders react in time?

What truly gets traders hooked isn’t just the adrenaline rush itself, but the magic of compound interest.

When your capital starts doubling, growth isn’t a slow linear accumulation but a leap in multiples. The same 100,000 yuan, a 1% increase in spot trading earns you 1,000 yuan. But in futures trading, the same fluctuation can result in completely different outcomes—multiplying by several times or even ten times. This exponential effect is very tempting.

But all of this hinges on one premise: no heavy positions, no emotional trading, and strict stop-loss and take-profit rules.

Futures are never a gamble for a turnaround; they are a battlefield reserved for those who can truly stick to discipline and control risks. The market isn’t short of opportunities; what’s missing is traders who can stay alive long enough to seize those opportunities.
