In contract trading with $ZEC and other cryptocurrencies, there are always liquidations happening every day. Interestingly, after losing money, these traders tend to dig themselves deeper, continuing to pour in more funds.

The root cause is actually quite painful—most people have no clear understanding of what they are doing.

Seeing the platform marked with 5x, 10x leverage, they truly believe they are only exposed to 5 times the risk. But with only $10,000 in their account, able to withstand a maximum loss of $500, they are operating a position worth $30,000. Is this still called 5x? It’s actually dozens of times hidden leverage. When the market fluctuates slightly, they get wiped out instantly, turning their chips into someone else’s profit.

In contrast, those who consistently profit from cryptocurrency contracts have a completely different mindset. They don’t treat contracts as gambling tools but as "trading tools with controllable risk." Ironically, their earnings come precisely from the cheap chips left behind by those heavily liquidated.

These traders maintain a very stable rhythm: most of the time they wait patiently; only when the opportunity is clear and the chances are high do they take action. When they profit, they follow the trend and let the profits run; when they lose, they cut losses disciplined and decisively, without hesitation.

Simply put: those who lose money trade frequently, while those who make money only act once at the right moment. If you want to avoid detours in this field, it’s best not to explore alone.
