In the crypto world, 90% of people are not suited for trading contracts, yet they stubbornly disbelieve, and what’s the result?
—— Liquidation, zero balance, mindset explosion, and in the end, they blame the market as a casino.
Actually, it’s not the market’s fault; it’s them who stepped into these traps!
❌ 5 reasons tell you: Why will you definitely lose when trading contracts?
1️⃣ Cognitive error: Fantasizing about getting rich, resulting in liquidation.
❌ "All in! If I win, I'll get the club model; if I lose, I’ll work to pay it off!"
✅ Reality:
Contracts are zero-sum games; the money you earn is lost by someone else.
In the long run, 90% of people lose money, only 10% can make stable profits.
Correct understanding: Contracts are tools, not shortcuts to wealth.
2️⃣ Skills are lacking: Opening positions based on feelings = gambling.
❌ "K-line? Indicators? All esotericism, I rely on intuition!"
✅ Reality:
Can't read trends, support and resistance, or volume-price relations? Your win rate is approximately 50%.
Technical analysis ≠ 100% accurate, but can improve win rates.
Correct approach: First learn the basics (MACD, EMA, Bollinger Bands), then validate with a demo account.
3️⃣ Mindset explosion: Anxiety from watching the market, distorted actions.
❌ "When it drops, I want to cut, when it rises, I’m afraid of giving back, and in the end, I hold on and get liquidated."
✅ Reality:
Emotional trading = giving away money; the market specifically targets those with poor mindsets.
Correct mindset:
Set stop losses, turn off the software, don’t watch the market.
Profits and losses come from the same source; accept individual losses to hold onto profits.
4️⃣ Poor execution: Plans are perfect, but execution is terrible.
❌ "I wanted to cut losses, but ended up holding the position."
✅ Reality:
Trading discipline > Technical analysis.
Correct execution:
Write out the trading plan in advance (entry, stop loss, take profit).
Execute strictly, don’t change orders on a whim.
5️⃣ Strategy error: Frequent trading, excessive leverage.
❌ "If I don't trade every day, I feel an itch; I'll go all in with 10x leverage!"
✅ Reality:
High-frequency trading ≈ sending fees to the exchange.
High leverage ≈ suicide (a 5% fluctuation can lead to liquidation).
Correct strategy:
Trend trading (make large swings, less fuss).
Build positions in batches (2-3 portions of capital, avoid being stuck at once).
Low leverage (≤3x), increase error tolerance.
💡 If you really want to trade contracts, first ask yourself:
Can I accept liquidation? (The essence of contracts is high risk.)
Do I have a trading system? (Or am I just randomly guessing?)
Can I control my hands? (Not trading frequently, not changing stop losses arbitrarily.)
If all the answers are 'no', then spot trading is more suitable for you!
If the answer is 'yes', then remember:
✅ Only trade trend positions, don’t play short-term.
✅ Low leverage, build positions in batches.
✅ Set stop losses, uninstall the software, don’t watch the market.
🔥 Ultimate Advice
"Contracts are like knives; those who know how to use them can cut meat, those who don’t can cut their hands."
First practice skills, then practice mindset, and only then can you make money.
Otherwise, you are one of those 90% “money-giving players.” 🚨
