Do you have people like this around you? Those who are tightly hooked on contract trading, unable to stop.

I know a buddy who turned 1500 yuan of principal into a 40,000 yuan account through sheer effort. At that moment, he felt like the king of the world. And then? He was completely hooked. He would say, "This thing is too crazy, I’ll never touch it again," but the next day, the day after, he kept jumping in again and again.

Someone once asked a profound question: "What kind of experience would make someone addicted to contracts return to normal life?" The answer is actually very painful—really, very difficult.

**Why is contract trading so addictive?**

It all boils down to one word: speed. With leverage of dozens of times, if you get the market right, your funds shoot up like a rocket. It’s more exciting than stock trading, more thrilling than gambling. When you make money, it’s fast; when you lose, it’s fierce. Stocks fluctuate at most ten percent a day; in the crypto world? Doubling or more in a day is commonplace.

**How strong is the temptation of the sweet spot?**

After experiencing that rapid growth, the human brain is left with only one thought: "I can definitely turn things around." But in reality? Most people don’t even get the chance to turn things around before their accounts are looted. That’s why once you get involved in contracts, it’s like developing an addiction—not because of greed, but because it’s just too stimulating, too dreamy, too much like gambling.

No matter how beautiful the dream, the cost is right there.

Market opportunities always exist, but the chances your principal can try are probably just a few times. It’s time to think carefully.

Really, who can resist the thrill of going all in... --- My classmate is the same, made 20,000 yuan and was immediately floating on cloud nine. Now he watches the market every day, and his sleep is completely ruined. --- Say you won't touch it? Wake up, brother, that's just lying to yourself. --- Leverage is like a drug; once you've tasted it, you can't go back. --- No one can escape; it's just a matter of who blows up first. --- That's why I advise people around me to stay away from contracts. The cost of making quick money is damn expensive. --- The market is always there, but what about your principal? Think it through carefully.

My buddy is like that. He watches K-line charts every day until his eyes are glued, and he claims he's studying MACD golden crosses... Honestly, stop-loss levels are just meaningless.

I’ve been saying it, if you miss this wave of contract opportunities, there’s really no turning back. I’ve long said that those who seize the leverage bonus are the smart ones. That guy turned 1500 into 40,000, which is a clear example of the first-mover advantage. And now some people are still hesitating whether to enter, indicating they haven’t fully grasped the big picture. --- What are you talking about? Truly experienced traders wouldn’t get caught in this. The problem is that most people lack risk control awareness. The capital management logic I mentioned before is exactly what should be used at critical moments. Don’t be fooled by superficial “quitting addiction” rhetoric. --- Haha, same old tune. Look, the crypto world has never lacked opportunities; what’s missing is the courage to seize the first move. That guy made 40,000, which proves the methodology is correct, but he didn’t plan well for taking profits later. It’s not the contract’s fault; it’s a matter of the operator’s vision. --- Time waits for no one, brothers. The window to position for the future is only a few years. If you wait until you’re completely wiped out to wake up, I’ve already said this was the best chance to get on board. --- Others are fearful, I am greedy. At this retracement level, it’s the real high ground. Many people are still questioning, just like they did with the internet back then, and in the end, they all regretted it.
