Seeing a bunch of people blowing "5x leverage is as steady as an old dog", I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Do you really think 5x is safe? If you invest 10,000 USDT with 5x leverage, a slight 20% market shake will wipe you out completely. This isn't trading at all; it's like walking a tightrope with your eyes closed.
Do you know what the bloodiest truth of the futures market is? It's not a casino; it's a morgue. Every penny you earn is the blood of others who have been liquidated:
In a bull market, it's the stubborn shorts who get liquidated.
In a bear market, it's the newbies who try to catch the bottom halfway up the hill.
In a sideways market, it's the retail investors slowly ground down by fees.
But the premise is - you have to outlast them.
True experts are like wolves in the wild, able to stare at their prey for days and nights without moving. 80% of the time is spent waiting for that fatal opportunity to strike.
Still dreaming of getting rich overnight? Smart people have long been playing the game of "survival is victory":
Amateur's daily routine:
"Hold on a bit longer, I can break even" → Result: buried in the depths of hell.
"This time it’s definitely going up" → In the blink of an eye, assets halved.
Expert's operation:
"Can't see clearly? Then don’t play."
Remember three life-saving rules:
Never bet more than 10% of your principal each time.
Cut losses at 5% immediately, act decisively.
Controlling your hands is more important than anything else.
Those who can't even bear to set a stop-loss don't deserve to see tomorrow's sun. In this market, living long is the real skill.
