Contract trading, to put it simply, is a double-edged sword. For ordinary people, it’s both an opportunity to turn things around and the easiest place to fall into the abyss.

I’ve seen too many newcomers, entering the market with a few hundred dollars or even over a thousand dollars, thinking only "double my money and run." As a result, after three days of enthusiasm, four days of anxiety, by the fifth day, their accounts are wiped out, and they’re completely broken.

I’m not saying this to look down from the sidelines. I started with just 8,000 yuan myself. During that time, I was struggling in the market, nearly getting liquidated several times, palms sweaty while holding my phone. But I survived, and I became more stable over time. Why?

It’s not because I’m smarter than others, but because I gradually understood a principle: **The contract itself won’t kill you proactively; reckless operations are the real killers.**

Most people treat liquidation as an accident, but in reality, it’s inevitable. Those who think they are "stable" usually just die a little slower. Look at those who trade based on feelings, increase positions out of stubbornness, or rely on luck for stop-losses—eventually, they all end up in a dead end.

Here’s a math problem: if you lose 90%, do you need to earn 270% to get back to your original capital? No, you need to earn 900%, to multiply nine times. That’s the terrifying power of compound interest.

Later, I found my rhythm and truly understood: **The crypto market is not about courage, but about wisdom.** Before each trade, do you have your own trading system? Or do you just follow your feelings, copy others’ signals, or simply gamble based on intuition?

If you’re still stuck in the cycle of liquidation → throwing money back in → getting liquidated again → chaos, it might be time to stop and think. Real trading shouldn’t be like that.
