The contract market is still operating wildly, with liquidation waves coming and going, but some people can always profit from it— the secret lies in risk control.

Many people have misconceptions about leverage. The platform's marked 5x or 10x are just superficial concepts; the real danger is the actual leverage ratio. Do the math: Actual leverage = position value ÷ maximum tolerable loss. For example, with a $10,000 account, if you only plan to tolerate a $500 loss but open a $30,000 position, the actual leverage jumps to 60x—that's the final straw that breaks the camel's back.

The contract market is essentially a zero-sum game. The 300% profit you make at least 200% comes from others' liquidation costs. How ruthless are professional players in the market? They spend 70% of their time in flat positions, waiting for a perfect opportunity to strike and decide the outcome in one move. They are never in a hurry.

What distinguishes profitable traders from losing retail investors? Counter-human operation. Don't follow the trend when the market is in panic; exercise restraint when greed spreads. Set strict stop-loss levels, ensuring single losses do not exceed 5%; let profits run fully, but set profit and stop-loss at twice the reward. It sounds dull, but this is the daily routine of those who survive.

Ultimately, contracts are not a gambling table; they are an arena for risk management. Those who get liquidated are daydreaming, while profitable traders are calculating their accounts precisely. Your choices determine your outcome.

60x leverage haha, isn't this just giving money to the exchange? I've seen too many people like this.

60x leverage? Bro, this isn't trading, this is playing with fire. No wonder you'll get liquidated. --- I just want to ask, how many people can really stick to 70% cash? Most of them open positions just because they get itchy. --- A 5% stop loss per trade sounds simple, but can you really hold back when executing? Honestly, I haven't tried. --- The saying about zero-sum game hits too close to home. My profits are indeed earned through others' blood and sweat. --- Counter-human nature operations are the hardest. When the market turns red, I get emotional and can't stop. --- The key is discipline, but that's exactly what the little guys always lack. --- How many people have claimed to have a plan, only to die at the stop-loss stage? --- The analogy of an account ledger is pretty good. Professional traders are like cold-blooded machines, retail traders have a gambler's mindset. --- Tenfold leverage and sixtyfold leverage are essentially the same; both are ways to find death, just different methods. --- The trades I made money on, looking back, all had stop-losses set to survive; the others were just luck. --- The biggest realization in these past few months is that if you can't hold out on cash, you've already lost on the first day.
