There are always people who ask me: "Why do some people still rush in knowing the risks of contracts are high?"
The answer is harsh:
Most people are not trading; they are gambling with leverage.
Real contract experts rely on these three survival rules:
The mathematical game of leverage
Do you think you are using 10x leverage?
In reality, you are playing with "psychological leverage"!
For example:
Account balance: 10,000 USDT, planning to lose at most 500 USDT
As a result, you opened a position of 30,000 USDT
This is not 3x leverage, but 60x psychological leverage!
A 2% fluctuation can kick you out
Remember: Leverage multiplier ≠ level of risk
The real risk lies in your position management
Contracts are not a game of guessing ups and downs
The truth of the market:
90% of the time is spent waiting
Only 10% of the time is actual trading
What are experts doing?
Calculating risk-reward ratios
Looking for market mismatch opportunities
Waiting for the best profit-loss ratio timing
Anti-human nature operation manual
Retail behavior:
Holding on to losses
Running away when in profit
Frequent trading
Expert operation:
Strict stop-loss (individual loss ≤ 5%)
Letting profits run (strategically increasing positions when in profit)
Understanding when to stay out (waiting for the best timing)
The harsh reality:
Those who get liquidated are always fantasizing about "the next round to recover"
Those who make money are always executing trading discipline
This is not gambling; it is a precise calculation:
Using mathematics to combat emotions
Using discipline to conquer the market
Using patience to wait for opportunities
Are you gambling now, or are you trading?
The answer lies in your trading records.
