Every day, I see people getting liquidated in contracts, only to turn around and pour more money in. Contracts for coins like ZEC, PROMPT, BEAT often replay the same tragedy.



The problem is, these folks simply don’t understand what they’re doing.

Platforms show 5x, 10x leverage, which sounds very safe. But have you done the math? With only $10,000 in your account, the maximum reasonable loss should be around $500. So what happens? You’re holding a $30,000 position and stubbornly fight on. The apparent 5x leverage has actually evolved into a "hidden leverage" of dozens of times.

Even a slight shake in the market can wipe you out. There’s no time to react; you become fuel for the main players to accumulate.

So why do some people make steady profits with contracts?

The secret is simple—they don’t treat contracts as gambling. They see contracts as a "switch." When they see the right opportunity, they amplify their gains; when they’re wrong, they close immediately. No emotional attachment, no stubborn holding—there’s nothing shameful about that.

Most of the time, they’re waiting, always waiting for the opportunity they’re most confident in, with the highest win rate. Maybe they only make one or two moves a week. But each trade is clean, with quick entry and exit.

Ultimately—

People who get liquidated are constantly operating wildly; those who truly make money, often just take one calculated action at the right moment. The rest of the time, they watch coldly from the sidelines.

Unbelievable, earning more in one or two trades a week than constantly watching the market every day... This is the difference.

Basically, it's just about having too much of a gambling mentality. One order per week vs. ten orders per day, the result is obvious.

Really, watching those people keep going in circles, I just can't understand why they insist on using such high hidden leverage. Wait, why is it so hard to set a stop-loss? I just want to ask, does anyone really believe those numbers on the platform are genuine? Honestly, it's a mindset issue, if you can't afford to lose, then don't play. Isn't this the gambler's mentality, losing and still trying to make a comeback with that same trick? Damn, I just saw someone get wiped out because they didn't set a stop-loss. Selling half of your holdings is so satisfying. Why insist on holding through to liquidation? It's really just two words: discipline. Without discipline, everything else is pointless. Contracts are like a sword; those who know how to use it make money, those who don't end up getting cut.

Really, after watching for so long, I'm exhausted. Daily liquidation and daily adding to positions—whoever pays this IQ tax is doomed.

That's so true. Doing one trade per week is really the best. Those around me who watch the market every day are still in the red after a month.
