#特朗普数字资产政策新方向 A lot of people ask me: With frequent liquidations in contract trading, why do people keep jumping in one after another?



$ACE The truth is actually quite harsh—the majority of traders haven't figured out their actual leverage at all.

They stare at the numbers on the interface, thinking that 5x or 10x leverage is pretty conservative. Little do they know, with a single operational mistake, their real risk exposure might have already soared to 60x. For a $10,000 account, losing just $500 can wipe them out completely, and only then do they realize what happened.

$STABLE The core of contract trading has never been about gambling on luck—it's about precisely calculating your risk exposure.

Two key words: counterintuitive and disciplined.

Stay calm when the market is panicking; show restraint when everyone is getting greedy. Loss hits 5%? Don't hesitate—cut your losses immediately. Made a profit? Lock it in; set your take-profit point at least twice as far as your stop-loss.

True experts spend 70% of their time just watching and waiting.

Wait for the trend to become clear, wait until the risk is manageable, wait until you're not acting impulsively out of emotion. The essence of contract trading is as a risk-hedging tool, not a casino bet.

People always ask if contract trading is gambling. All I can say is: it's the retail traders who gamble, and those who understand the rules who profit.

Want to survive steadily in the contract market? Don't rely on intuition—rely on systematic methods and cold-blooded execution. If you're still trading blindly on gut feeling, I advise you to take a break. Don't treat your principal as tuition fees.

A true contract trader is as steady as a rock and ruthlessly precise. Want to get started? Set up your risk control system first, then talk about making profits.

Listen, the ones who truly make money do it quietly. Those who brag every day about how much they've made have most likely already been liquidated.

That hit too close to home. A buddy of mine is a classic example—he thought he had the leverage all figured out, but one swing and he lost it all.

You're absolutely right, but the fact is that most people just can't control themselves. When the candlestick chart fluctuates a bit, they panic like crazy.

yeah the leverage misconception is actually textbook—most dudes genuinely believe they're running 5x when the math says they're already at 60x... empirically speaking, it's financial darwinism at its finest. the ones who survive? they're not smarter, just systematically disciplined while everyone else is yolo-ing on vibes. pretty predictable cycle tbh.

That's right, there are really quite a few people around me who have lost everything like this... It’s pretty painful to see.

The words are harsh, but how many retail investors will actually listen... Most still have to pay the price to understand.
