I've seen too many people trading contracts, with accounts like roller coasters—爆仓 today, recharge tomorrow, continue爆仓 the day after.

What’s the most surreal? Clearly exhausted from losses, yet still can't help but press the open position button.

Where exactly is the problem?

The answer is brutally simple: from the very beginning, they never understood what kind of fate they were betting on.

Look at those people, clearly marked on the interface with 5x, 10x leverage, yet they secretly think "I'm quite cautious." And then? The account has only 10,000 USDT; theoretically, it can withstand a 500 USDT drawdown, but they still open a 30,000 USDT position.

Surface leverage is 5x, but behind the scenes, it's already dozens of times more—an invisible minefield. When the market slightly fluctuates, they get swept out immediately, becoming someone else's ATM.

But what about those who truly survive and make money?

They don’t compete in speed; they compete in patience. Others treat contracts like slot machines, they treat contracts like sniper rifles—limited bullets, one shot, one kill.

When the market is chaotic, they stay steady like a rock; when opportunities surface, they strike quickly and ruthlessly. If they get it right, profits run free; if wrong? Stop-loss is faster than flipping a switch, absolutely no dragging or hesitating.

In plain words:

Losers keep pressing buttons desperately to show presence, winners quietly wait for the moment that can rewrite their account’s fate.

This is the survival rule in the contract world—some become leeks, others become harvesters. The only difference is whether you understand the rules or not.

Really, I've seen too many people like this, claiming to have good risk management while secretly leveraging dozens of times. Serves them right to get liquidated.

On-chain footprints never lie. I've seen all those addresses that got liquidated—the transfer trajectories are terrifyingly clear, with repeated deposits into the same wallet, full marks for pattern recognition.

Really, this is the gambler's mentality. Once you lose everything, it's easier to go all-in on the next round. Damn, opening a $30,000 position with a $10,000 account? Is this guy trying to just quit the game altogether? The nice way to say it is sniping; the harsh way is gambling with luck. When has the market not played deadly tricks like this? Stop-loss? Most people just can't do it. When their account turns a little green, they want to hold on. Waiting for an opportunity—most people see it as just a fantasy. Human nature, in front of contracts, is truly worthless. Honestly, those who survive are not really experts; they've just lost a few times more than others. Everything said in this paragraph is true, but people who hear it still can't change what they should. I've seen too many people say these things and then turn around to keep spinning the slot machine.

Really, I've seen friends around me blow up their accounts three times in a month, and they're still pretty persistent. Everyone talks about knowing the risks, but then they keep increasing leverage, and their accounts keep dropping, cycle after cycle. Stop-loss, why is it so hard to grasp? Without three or five years of relentless effort, don't talk nonsense about contract logic. Those who are constantly bottom-fishing are probably just working for the big players. Entering a position without clearly understanding the market is nothing but gambling. Reliable traders are waiting patiently, unreliable ones are just shaking. It's really a mentality issue; greed is the biggest killer in contracts.

It's quite ironic to read this article at 3 a.m. The neighboring robot amusement park is live streaming another liquidation. Those who tremble always lose to those who stay steady. No problem.

actually, the math doesn't lie here—most people don't even understand their actual leverage exposure, let alone manage it. they see 5x on the ui and somehow rationalize it as "conservative" when they're running naked shorts underneath. it's like not reading the protocol specs before deploying, except your liquidation is irreversible.

Really, the moment I impulsively pressed the open position button, I already lost. Setting stop-losses didn't help; once my mindset collapsed, everything fell apart. Look at my buddy around me—he doubles leverage every day, and now his account is wiped out. Patience is more valuable than any skill. Contracts are a psychological game; the winners are never the ones with the fastest hands.
