In the crypto trading market, there are always people getting liquidated in contracts every day. What exactly is happening behind the scenes?
Most participants haven't really figured out what they are playing with. Platforms advertise "5x, 10x leverage," and many people take this as a skill. But the reality is this: you have $10,000 in your account, with a risk tolerance of only a few hundred dollars, yet you control a position of $30,000 through leverage. This is not investing—it's gambling with completely out-of-control risk.
The true situation is often even more heartbreaking. You think you're using 5x leverage, but in reality, you might be enduring risks of dozens of times that. When the market fluctuates slightly, your account can be wiped out instantly, turning you into a cash machine for the market makers. Contracts like $GIGGLE and $RESOLV are highly volatile, and the risks increase exponentially.
What about traders who actually make trades? Their approach is completely different. For them, contracts are not gambling but tools for risk management. Where does the profit come from? It comes from those who are forced to liquidate in panic.
What is the rhythm of expert traders? They spend about 70% of their time waiting. Waiting for the right opportunity, then executing precisely, and cleanly harvesting profits. Most people do the opposite—frequently entering and exiting, trading more and losing more, eventually just paying tuition to the platform.
Want to survive in contracts? It all comes down to two words: restraint. When others panic, stay calm; when others are greedy, be cautious. Stop-loss must be disciplined and not exceed 5% of your account; when you have profits, be brave enough to let them run instead of rushing to lock everything in.
Some say contracts are just gambling, but they haven't thought it through. The real gamblers are those blindly over-leveraging and going all-in based on gut feelings. Traders who know how to do the math rely not on luck but on discipline and probability.

That's correct, but 99% of people simply can't exercise restraint with these two words.

To be honest, this article is all nonsense... The ones who can truly survive and leave have already shut up and made money, and they're not here giving lessons to others.

Honestly, most people don't even understand what they're doing before they start playing with leverage.
Wait, do 70% of the profitable traders spend most of their time waiting? I've never managed that, always acting impulsively…
Discipline is easy to talk about, but when a market wave hits, people just go dumb.
Frequent entry and exit are really just paying tuition fees, it's heartbreaking.
It's basically taking on risks that shouldn't be borne, no wonder they get liquidated.
Where are the contracts that don't get liquidated? Please guide me to success.
I've heard the phrase "stop loss at 5% discipline" too many times, but I always forget to follow through when executing.
