# The Real Dilemma of Contract Trading: Why Some Achieve 30x Turnarounds with Bollinger Bands

Contract trading is an extreme game—either you turn things around or you lose everything. This is not an alarmist statement; it’s the real story unfolding in the market.

Many people around me jump in with a few thousand dollars, full of dreams, hoping to change their fate within a week. But they end up sinking deeper into the cycle of liquidation, ultimately blaming the market for being a casino or quietly exiting. Some started with just 8,000 yuan, countless nights staring at K-line charts, trembling at floating losses, and nearly being wiped out by sudden market moves several times.

Surviving in this game is not about luck but about finally understanding a truth: **Liquidation is never an accident; it’s an inevitable result of insufficient awareness**.

## The Mathematical Trap of Leverage

Many think that using 3x or 5x leverage is safe, but in reality, it’s just a slower death. The risk of leverage is not a simple addition—higher leverage causes exponential risk explosion. Hidden costs like trading fees, slippage, and frequent operations gradually cut into your principal like invisible blades.

Even more brutal is the math of losses:
- A 50% loss requires doubling to break even
- A 90% loss requires a 9x gain to recover

Countless traders are trapped in the endless cycle of "reinvest—liquidation—reinvest again," ultimately wiping out their accounts.

## Turning Point: Master Effective Tools

Some people's turning point comes from Bollinger Bands—not a magical indicator, but understanding its "opening" and "closing" logic. Before a trend starts, Bollinger Bands give signals. Learning to interpret these signals allows you to prepare before the market moves.

Using this methodology, some have achieved 30x returns within a month. This is not magic; it’s **discipline**. No relying on intuition—act according to a system. Enter decisively when it’s time, cut losses manually when needed, and lock emotions out completely. Let the rules make money for you.

## Survival Is the First Step

If you’re still trading based on feelings, repeatedly getting liquidated without finding a way out, the problem isn’t luck but the lack of a trading system that can keep you alive. Technical indicators are just tools; what truly determines victory or defeat is your respect for risk and your execution ability.
