The Survival Philosophy of Contract Trading

The truth of leveraged markets lies in the fact that the real risk of positions far exceeds the surface numbers. When stop-loss funds account for only 1% of total capital, a 10x leverage operation actually bears a hundred times the risk, and greed has become a more terrifying enemy than the liquidation line. Most failures are trapped in three cognitive cages:

​​The Triple Gate of Cognitive Dilemma​​

1. ​​Obsession Trap​​: Replacing risk control with expectation during losses, allowing the illusion of recovery to override market reality;

2. ​​All-in Inertia​​: Betting all capital on a single gamble, making volatility a deadly weapon;

3. ​​Emotional Fuel​​: Averaging down during declines dilutes costs, while chasing highs during rises amplifies risks, ultimately falling into the position quagmire.

​​The Essential Logic of Market Operations​​

• Contract profit and loss is essentially a zero-sum game, with profits coming from the forced liquidation of others;

• Bull markets harvest chasing retail investors, while bear markets devour panic selling;

• The professional advantage lies in patiently waiting for the moment of others' cognitive collapse.

​​Advanced Survival Principles​​

1. ​​Position Calculation​​: Strictly control single risk exposure to below 5%, only trigger trades when the profit-loss ratio is ≥3:1;

2. ​​Time Value Game​​: Maintain an 80% cash position, focusing on capturing extreme market emotional points;

3. ​​Crisis Conversion Power​​: When most participants face liquidation due to irrational behavior, the market presents high-certainty opportunities.

The true watershed is not in technology but in mindset:

• Professionals view stop-loss as a natural breath, while gamblers see it as a provocation to dignity;

• The quant faction builds a moat with positions, while the impulsive use leverage as a suicide bomb.

Leveraged markets do not reward stars, but rather reward those who endure. The essence of investment philosophy is not to predict market trends, but to design a system that survives extreme volatility. When everyone is intoxicated by the prospect of short-term profits, the clear-headed are calculating the liquidity bonus after the crisis — this is the fundamental distinction between professionals and gamblers.
