The essence of the contract market #ETH


The truth I understood about playing contracts for a month.
The real survival rate of retail investors in the contract market is only 0.4% over a year. Among those so-called "profitable retail investors", 99% are market makers, project teams, and internal personnel of exchanges. On social media, 95% of the profit-sharing accounts use demo accounts, and 99% of the call-out influencers are actually hired by the market makers.
The dealer holds multiple sharp sickles: the liquidation mechanism precisely harvests, slippage secretly siphons off, and funding rates continuously squeeze. They possess unlimited chips and the ability to see the hole cards, and can even modify the rules of the game at any time. Even more frightening is that institutions have nanosecond-level latency servers, creating a 500-millisecond time difference with retail investors. Combined with zero-cost capital and insider information, the so-called candlestick indicators are merely harvesting tools for identifying retail trading patterns.
The distribution of real wealth is shocking: top market makers seize 68% of the profits, exchanges take away 25%, hedge funds get 6%, while the true retail investors can barely get a mere 1% of the leftovers. This is not a fair investment game, but a one-sided massacre in terms of mathematical probability.
The truth about so-called "profitable retail investors" is disheartening. True wisdom lies not in defeating the market, but in recognizing reality: refusing to participate in this inevitably losing game. Remember, in this manipulated market, not participating is the greatest victory, and protecting your principal is the true investment wisdom.
