How many people enter this market thinking they can stage a comeback and turn things around? And how many ultimately stay? In many cases, all that remains is a liquidation screenshot. Many people go from a few hundred US dollars (U) to tens of thousands (U), while others, due to one wrong operation, manage to wipe out their entire principal in just a few short days. At the beginning, they all think they’ve found a pattern. Learn a few indicators, read a few analyses, and then believe they can control the market. But what futures contracts truly test is never just technique. It’s more about human nature.



Many people, after making a little money, see their mindset start to change. They think low leverage is too slow, so they keep increasing leverage. 10x isn’t enough; 30x feels like it’s not satisfying; 50x or even higher—always just dreaming of catching a single move to quickly double. But they forget that leverage magnifies not only returns, but also risk. Even a normal market fluctuation can push a high-leverage position into danger.

What’s worse is that once the direction is wrong, they’re unwilling to accept the mistake. When losses appear, they don’t cut—instead they tell themselves to wait a bit longer. The result: positions get heavier, losses get larger, and in the end what they wait for isn’t a rebound, but a liquidation.

After one liquidation, many people start desperately trying to get their money back. They keep depositing, keep using high leverage, and keep trading frequently. One mistake turns into long-term losses.

Futures contracts themselves aren’t scary. What’s scary is having no risk awareness. Those who can truly stay in the market for the long term are not the ones who get every trade right. Instead, they know how to control their position size, accept losses, and make sure they always have another opportunity.

Don’t let one impulsive operation take you out early.
