Why do some people still flood in despite daily liquidations in the futures market?

The core reason is that most players do not understand the rules.

The 5x and 10x leverage indicated by the platform is not the actual leverage: with an account of 10,000 USDT (able to withstand a loss of 500 USDT), if one opens a position of 30,000 USDT, the actual leverage reaches 60 times, and market fluctuations can lead to liquidation.

Profitable players view futures as a risk hedging tool rather than a gamble: they wait 70% of the time and strike precisely when the trend is clear; ordinary players chase after trends and cut losses, using their capital to work for the market makers.

The key to profitable trading in futures is to act against human nature: remain calm when others panic, and be cautious when others are greedy; control losses strictly within 5%, and only consider taking profits when they have doubled.

The claim that "futures are gambling" is one-sided — those who get liquidated are gambling, while the profitable ones are calculating: the former operate based on emotions, while the latter calculate risks, trends, and funds, with every step supported by data.

Do not trade based on feelings; futures are a numerical game; if you are too lazy to calculate risks, it’s better to exit.

What is the biggest loss you have experienced in futures? Was it due to uncontrolled leverage or failing to set stop-loss? Feel free to share in the comments section @Air 安叔 to help you avoid liquidation traps.
