Do you think that understanding technical analysis, looking at on-chain data, and studying macroeconomics will allow you to make money in the contract market?
Don't be silly, the real key is human nature.
What you lack is not knowledge, but execution power.
Everyone knows that 'eat less and exercise more' can help lose weight, but most people just can't do it, especially the hunger during 'eating less' and the fatigue during 'exercising more'.
Trading is the same, 'buy low and sell high' sounds easy, but is difficult in practice. The market tests not your IQ, but whether you can control your emotions and execute your strategy.
Small funds for short-term trading?
Short-term trading is gambling!
Transaction fees, slippage, emotional fluctuations will ultimately eat away your principal. The real winners understand long-term thinking: waiting for major trends and making significant swings. Your 30,000 or 100,000 in capital is not suitable for daily fluctuations but should wait for opportunities to steadily appreciate.
Your 'safety leverage' is a joke in extreme market conditions.
Many people like to calculate the liquidation price: 2x leverage is 'fine', 5x leverage is 'at most a little fluctuation'. However, when extreme market conditions arrive, it can go straight to zero.
The real risk control mindset is not 'where will the price liquidate', but 'how much can I lose on this trade'. You need to learn to summarize experiences from each failure, rather than repeatedly suffer from lessons.
Surviving in the crypto world relies not on short-term luck, but on systems, discipline, and emotional management. Going against human nature is the key to long-term winning.
