Recently, several friends around me encountered account liquidation, and their lives fell into chaos. Even after repeated warnings, some still cannot resist temptation and end up losing everything. Those so-called 'signal teachers' are merely brokers luring you into the market for commissions. Today, I will share 10 lessons learned to tell you why you should stay away from contracts.
01 Principal evaporated: Faster than you can imagine.
Contract leverage is like a 'funds shredder'; even slight price fluctuations can instantly swallow your principal. Under 10x leverage, if the asset drops by 10%, your account goes to zero directly — more brutal than losing stars in a game, your real money vanishes in an instant.
02 Addiction to gambling: Just one step from profit to losing control.
After tasting the sweetness of small profits, you can't help but increase leverage and bet heavily. This gambler mentality will drag you deeper until a sudden crash devours all your profits and principal, leaving you with no chance to regret.
03 Emotional drain: After a trading session, you feel half your life is gone.
Your heartbeat fluctuates with the K-lines while watching the market, anxiety, regret, and anger take turns. Each rise and fall feels like a roller coaster; over time, your mental state approaches collapse, and trading becomes torture.
04 Price rises have nothing to do with you: A thousandfold increase after liquidation is still in vain.
If you're stuck in spot trading, you can wait for a rebound, but once a contract is liquidated, even if the price later surges by 100 times, you are already out. No matter how big the opportunity is, it has nothing to do with you.
05 Numbed risk awareness: Profits inflate you, losses awaken you.
When making easy money, you may have the illusion of being a trading genius; only to realize after a heavy loss that it was just the market temporarily 'letting loose.' Blind confidence will ultimately lead to painful consequences.
06 Platform traps: You are trading, while the dealer is 'cheating.'
Some platforms maliciously create slippage and lags, even manually 'spiking' prices, rendering your stop-loss orders meaningless. The so-called trading is merely an unfair game with the dealer.
07 Fatal speed: No time to react, the account has already gone to zero.
Sudden news, instant crash; a trade can end in just a few seconds. Before your stop-loss order is executed, your position has already been forcibly liquidated — in the contract market, time is money, and it’s also a matter of life and death.
08 Exhausted and gained nothing.
Staring at the market day and night, dreaming of K-line trends, only to end up exhausted with a zeroed account. After investing a lot of time and effort, all you gain is despair.
09 Gambler's Dilemma: The more you lose, the more you gamble; the more you gamble, the worse it gets.
After a loss, you always fantasize about 'recouping in one go,' leading to continuous averaging down and repeated liquidations, falling into a vicious cycle. Ultimately, you lose all your savings, with no chance to turn things around.
10 The brutal truth of life and death.
Official data shows that over 90% of contract traders exit with losses. Don't hold on to false hopes; you are not the 'lucky one' among the crowd, but rather have a high probability of becoming 'chopped leeks.'
Final advice: Wealth accumulation is already difficult, don't let contracts become an 'accelerator' that destroys everything. Making money can be slow, but liquidation can happen in an instant. Stay away from contracts and protect your principal; this is the first rule of investing.
