Many beginners enter the crypto world thinking spot trading is too slow, thinking 'let's jump right into contracts for quick doubling'.

But do you know? Most people's first liquidation happens during their first contract trade.

Contracts are not a shortcut to making money, but a magnifier of losses.

The biggest temptation of contracts is high leverage + quick returns.

But the truth is: your understanding of risk does not match the speed of contracts.

You haven't understood support and resistance or market structure, yet you want to trade 10x or 20x contracts.

This is like jumping into deep water without knowing how to swim, while tied to a stone.

The biggest problem for beginners is not the technique, but the 'cognitive gap'.

• Seeing others double their contracts makes you think you can too;

• Emotional highs, not setting stop losses, and getting liquidated as soon as you add to your position;

• Entering the market with a gambling mentality means you won't even get your capital back in the end.

To put it bluntly, you are using immature cognition to operate high-risk instruments.

At this stage, it's strange not to get liquidated.

✅ My advice: During the beginner stage, stick to spot trading + low positions + simulated practice.

Why do many experienced traders suggest beginners start with spot trading?

Because spot trading is like learning to drive:

• You have room for error, making it less likely to 'hit the wall with the gas pedal';

• You can practice watching the market, analyzing structures, and controlling emotions, instead of getting liquidated as soon as you enter.

If you really want to trade contracts, at least meet the following conditions:

• You can strictly set stop losses without hesitation;

• You can understand trends instead of guessing price movements;

• You can accept when you're wrong, withdraw when you lose, and not cling to the battle.

In conclusion:

Contracts are not impossible to trade, but you are not ready to trade them yet.

I'm not afraid of your slowness, I'm afraid of your liquidation.
