#数字资产市场动态 Why do contracts always blow people's positions, yet so many still rush in?
Honestly, most players' understanding of contracts is just a fog. Seeing exchanges offer 5x, 10x leverage, they think they're opening orders with 5x leverage? Wrong.
If you have 10,000 USDT in your wallet, your bottom line for loss is 500 USDT. But then you turn around and throw in 30,000 USDT to open a position—you might think it's 5x leverage, but in reality, you're gambling with 60x leverage on a knife. Yet you remain completely unaware, thinking your operations are rock solid.
Experienced traders have long understood that the essence of contracts is not gambling, but risk hedging. Where does your profit come from? It’s taken from others’ liquidation losses.
Look at how truly profitable traders operate—spend 70% of their time waiting. As long as the market isn’t in the right position, they don’t act. When they do, it’s precise targeting, unlike some people who mess around every day.
To survive and thrive in this market, one word: contrarian.
When others are terrified to death, you need to stay calm. When others’ eyes turn green with greed, you need to hit the brakes. Stop-loss must be strict—if you lose 5%, cut your losses without debate. But once you start making profits, you should be faster than anyone else, and the minimum goal for recovery is to double your invested capital before taking profits.
Some people still don’t understand and keep saying contracts are just gambling. That’s not true. If you get liquidated, that’s gambling. We make money because we’ve calculated every trade carefully and understood the risks.
I won’t reveal all the core logic here; if you want to understand, you need to figure it out yourself. Still trading based on feelings? I advise you to sleep early and stop staying up—dreams have everything.
If you still don’t know where to start, you can follow me. I’ve been here all along; I won’t miss the proactive ones.

the behavioral patterns here are... textbook. most retail just can't parse the leverage mechanics, transaction velocity keeps exposing the same wallet clustering inefficiencies. precision matters.

That's right, most people haven't even figured out what they're doing and just start going all-in. This isn't trading; it's giving away money.
The real professional traders spend 70% of their time waiting, but what about you? You spend all day making random moves based on feelings. No wonder you can't make money.
Being strict with stop-losses is spot on, but some people still can't bring themselves to cut losses, and as a result, it takes several months to recover from a single set.

Sounds nice, but it's just the same old trick of cutting the leeks. Stop loss at 5%, take profit doubled. Who the hell can do that?

That's right, most people simply can't calculate their actual leverage accurately.
I've also seen too many people go all-in with full positions, thinking they're managing risk, only to blow up very quickly.
