Last night another brother blew up his account by trading on his own, opening a long position with 10,000 USDT at 100x leverage, and as a result, Ethereum had a sudden drop in the middle of the night, and his account went to zero.
With red eyes, he asked me: "Is it impossible to make money with contracts?"
I looked at his screen full of liquidation orders and sighed: "It's not the contracts' fault; it's your trading strategy that's the problem."
Do you think high leverage is a shortcut to wealth?
I've seen too many stories like this:
Old Zhang mortgaged his car to trade contracts, thinking it would be a turnaround, but after blowing up, his wife wanted a divorce.
A college student borrowed money online to gamble, now attending classes during the day and delivering food at night to pay off debts.
High leverage is like a borrowed sports car.
If handled well, it can indeed yield astonishing returns,
but 99% of people can't handle it, and it ends with wrecked cars and lost lives.
How do you transition from liquidation to stable profits?
1. Save your bullets.
With a 10,000 USDT capital? First, divide it into 10 parts!
Use a maximum of 1,000 USDT per trade, keep 9,000 USDT for safety.
2. Leverage should be like flirting; don't be too aggressive.
Newbies should consider 5x, and veterans shouldn't exceed 30x.
Don’t trust those showing off 100x profits; they won't tell you how many times they’ve been liquidated.
3. Stop-loss should be like a breakup; it must be decisive.
Set a 3% stop-loss, if you lose 30 USDT, consider it a lesson learned.
Don’t learn from those "holding warriors"; they all end up in a tragic way.
The market always has opportunities, but if your capital is gone, it’s truly gone.
Those who think about getting rich overnight end up being someone else's ATM. The ones who survive are the hunters who understand how to manage risk.
Want to know how to set a stop-loss specifically? How to calculate liquidation price? Why do I dare to enter the market during a crash? I'll discuss these practical insights next time...
Remember:
In the contract market, living long is 100 times more important than making quick profits.
Every decision you make now pays dividends for your future self.
