Why did you learn so many skills, but still face liquidation in contracts?
Do you think that understanding technical analysis, being able to read on-chain data, and studying macroeconomics will allow you to navigate the contract market with ease?
Wrong.
The core of trading is not knowledge, but human nature.
1. What you lack is not cognition, but execution
Is losing weight difficult?
The principle is six words: eat less, move more.
Is trading difficult?
The core is four words: buy low, sell high.
But why do 90% of people fail at losing weight?
Because "eating less" will make you hungry, and "moving more" will make you tired.
Why do 90% of people lose money in trading?
Because when "buying low", they fear it will drop, and when "selling high", they fear it will rise.
The market does not test your IQ, it tests your discipline.
2. Small capital for short trades?
Many people think:
"Small capital must do short trades, quick in and out to grow big"
"Earn 10% today, 20% tomorrow, compound it and get rich sooner or later"
The reality is:
Short-term trading ≈ high-frequency gambling, transaction fees and slippage can eat up your principal.
The biggest enemy of compounding is not the market, but your emotions.
The real strategy to grow small capital:
Wait for the big trend, catch the big wave (like holding coins during a bull market)
Use small positions to test, hold on to profitable trades (instead of taking a little profit and running)
Accept that "slow is fast" (growing from 30,000 to 100,000, and then from 100,000 to 300,000 is better than being restless every day)
Short-term is a gambler's game; long-term is the choice of the wise.
3. Your "safety leverage" is a joke in extreme market conditions
Many people's first action after opening a trade: calculate the liquidation price.
"2x leverage, it won't liquidate!"
"5x leverage, it will only liquidate at XXX price, impossible!"
Then 312, 519 comes, and it goes straight to zero.
The true risk control mindset:
❌ It's not "at what price will it liquidate"
✅ But "how much can I lose on this trade"
There is a saying on Wall Street:
"In a bull market, you make money; in a bear market, you gain experience; in a monkey market, you learn lessons."
If you really want to survive long-term in the crypto space, relying solely on technology is far from enough.
What you need is a system, discipline, and anti-human nature training.
