For beginners, getting liquidated in contracts is not due to bad luck, but because they fundamentally don't understand how to play.
To put it bluntly, many people don't even know "how to calculate leverage" and yet dare to go all in with 10x or 20x leverage.
When the direction is wrong, they refuse to admit defeat and instead increase their positions to hold on.
Liquidation doesn't happen because the market defeats you; it happens because you defeat yourself.
A few days ago, a fan reached out to me. He was a newbie, just graduated, and invested 10,000 to trade contracts.
He listened to a wild teacher who said "BTC will plummet to 90k" and directly shorted with 50x leverage.
As a result, the market rose the next day, and he thought it was a shakeout, increasing his position to hold on.
Eventually, when the market dropped again, his account went to zero.
He said something that stuck with me: "I didn’t even understand where my stop-loss line was, and I lost everything."
You might think the market is too difficult; in reality, you are just too anxious.
Many people come to the crypto world hoping to turn things around, not wanting to work anymore or see others' faces.
I understand, as I have walked this path too.
But I want to tell you:
Contracts are not unplayable; the key is knowing how to play.
If the direction is wrong, you should stop-loss; if the market weakens, you need to reduce your position.
It's not about getting it right once and making a fortune; it’s about surviving each time to have the chance to turn things around.
Stop fantasizing about turning your fortunes around with one big hit; the crypto world is never short of opportunities, but opportunities are only available to those who are still standing.
The group of people I am currently mentoring has mostly stabilized, transitioning from "daily liquidations" to "stable profits."
It's not because they are smarter, but because they have finally started to play by the rules.
I am not sure if this way of thinking will suit you,
but at least it can help you stop being cannon fodder.
