Brothers, have you noticed a strange phenomenon recently?



The contract market is experiencing daily liquidations, but strangely, the number of liquidated traders is increasing. It's like some bargain hunting games on shopping platforms—knowing it's not worth it, but you just can't stop.

But I have to say something blunt: the contracts themselves are not the problem; the issue is that most people have no idea what they are actually playing with.

The exchange's label of "5x leverage" looks very safe, and you think it's stable, right? But let's do the math: a $10,000 account, set to 5x leverage, the theoretical liquidation line is at a $500 loss. But some turn around and open a $30,000 position—do you know what that means? That's not 5x leverage at all; it's 60x!

They are completely unaware, thinking it's very safe. This is the real reason most people get liquidated.

How do true contract experts operate? Listen carefully—they spend 70% of their time waiting.

Market conditions are unfavorable? Don't trade. Volume hasn't picked up? Don't trade. The direction isn't confirmed? Even less. This isn't hesitation; it's discipline. As soon as they take action, it's aimed at precise profits.

The essence of contracts is not gambling; it's accounting. Every profit you make fundamentally comes from others' liquidations and losses—sounds cold-blooded, but this is the brutal truth of the market.

What are the characteristics of real winners? They are all contrarians.

When others panic, they stay calm; when others are greedy, they become cautious; when others stubbornly hold onto losses, they cut losses without hesitation; when others are eager to exit after a 2% gain, they wait until the profit exceeds twice the stop-loss before considering closing.

The contrast is stark—you get liquidated mainly because you're operating blindly based on feelings. Others make money because they follow logic, rhythm, and clear trading rules. That’s where the gap lies.
