#以太坊行情解读 The Truth About Contract Get Liquidated: You're Not Trading, You're Gambling



Bro, calm down. Have you really thought about this question: why can others survive in the contract market and even profit steadily, while you get liquidated as soon as you enter?

The answer is heart-wrenching but simple - you simply don't understand how to play with contracts.

I met a newcomer not long ago, with a capital of 10,000 yuan. Seeing the exchange showing 10x leverage, he foolishly thought, "At most, I'll lose 1,000." As a result, he opened a position of 50,000 yuan. A few points of market fluctuation triggered a margin call, and his account was instantly wiped out.

It's not that the market is too harsh, it's that he knows nothing about the underlying logic of the contracts.

Contracts are never as simple as "leverage = maximum loss." The true nature of contracts is: using a small amount of capital to bear unimaginable price volatility risks. You think you are magnifying your profits, but in fact, you are handing over the power over your account's life and death to the market.

I have been in this circle for 8 years, and I have seen too many extreme examples. Some people have lost everything from millions, while a few have managed to build up their accounts little by little with a disciplined system. What is the difference between these two types of people?

Those who truly survive never rely on "guessing price increases or decreases". They calculate probabilities, control position sizes, and compete on execution discipline.

When others chase high and sell low, getting emotional and going all in, they choose to wait and lock in risks. When others panic and cut losses, being forced to Get Liquidated, they lay out their low-risk strategy, earning from the "mistakes others make."

This is the iron rule of the market that must be recognized: the market does not fear you making the wrong directional call, but is most afraid of you not having stop-losses, not managing your positions, and having no bottom line.

If you always experience "buying and it drops, selling and it rises", it's not the market targeting you, but rather you don't have a clear trading system at all. Without position management and the ability to execute stop-losses, even the most accurate analysis is just waste paper. To put it bluntly, you treat contracts like a gambling casino.

Doing contracts isn't hell; contracts without risk control are.

Market opportunities have always existed, but they only belong to these three types of people: those who understand the rules, those who adhere to discipline, and those who can control themselves.

Continue to be harvested or stand on the side of long-term profit, this choice you will have to make sooner or later. $BTC

It hits hard, I'm that unfortunate one who always sees a fall right after buying. --- It's easy to talk about having a disciplined system, but it's really hard to actually do it. I can't even stop loss. --- So the key is to have a clear trading system; otherwise, it's just a living gambler's mentality. --- Others can crawl out alive from being Get Liquidated, but why did I directly go game over? --- After watching contracts for so many years, the most painful thing is "you handed over the life and death rights of your account to the market." --- Risk control is truly the top priority; I can say I've been educated by the market now. --- Those who can consistently profit must have turned off their emotions a long time ago. --- If I could really manage Position and stop loss well, I wouldn't be complaining here.

To be honest, this article made me feel a bit uncomfortable... That guy went all in with 50,000 on a 10,000 position, I used to be just like him.

That's really heart-wrenching. I'm the fool who turned 10,000 into 50,000 positions, and now the account is already wiped out.

It's the same old rhetoric again, I've heard it so many times; if it could really make money, people would have been financially free by now.

Oh my, really, that guy who opened a Position of fifty thousand with just ten thousand is truly outrageous, this is a living textbook of the opposite case. Those people who always see a fall when they buy and a rise when they sell, to put it bluntly, they just have no stop loss and no discipline, the market has already filtered them out long ago. I've seen too many stories of going from millions to zero, having vision alone is useless, execution is what really matters. Sometimes, waiting can earn more than going All in, it took me quite a bit of tuition to understand this insight. If risk control isn't done well, then doing anything is futile, this is something I've truly experienced. Being played for suckers and making profits is actually just a matter of mindset, the key is whether you're willing to follow the rules. As for contracts, newcomers who come in wanting to make quick money, well, just wait to be played for suckers.

To be honest, stop loss sounds simple, but executing it can really drive a person crazy. I've seen too many people lose everything, not because they don't understand the trends, but because they can't bear to play people for suckers at that moment.

Damn, this guy is hitting too hard. I'm just that fool who went all in with 10,000.

You're not wrong, but how many can actually do it? Most people just can't control themselves, going all in when they're bullish, and end up losing everything in one go.
