Newbies should try to avoid contracts as much as possible

$ETH When you don't understand the market, look at a larger time frame, and you will see a lot more clearly. However, the contract market provides too much leverage for everyone, and people are eager to profit, so the leverage keeps increasing, and the time frames keep getting smaller, ultimately getting stuck in the mud of frequent trading and huge drawdowns. When you look back, the market was just oscillating at the 4h level, with not much fluctuation, but your position is gone.
The trading cycle itself is not inherently risky, and high leverage does not necessarily mean risk. However, for most people who lack sufficient trading experience, understanding, and training, it's best to avoid leverage and start with larger time frames.
