In the contract market, the same story unfolds every day—some people exit with nothing, while more and more keep rushing in.

It may seem contradictory, but the real issue lies somewhere else: most entrants simply don’t understand the underlying logic of contract trading; they’re just gambling on luck at the table.

When trading platforms advertise 5x, 10x leverage, many people genuinely believe they are opening low-leverage positions. Let’s take a real example—having $10,000 in an account, theoretically losing $500 would trigger a liquidation. Yet, some still open orders worth $30,000. On the surface, that’s 5x leverage, but in reality? They’re risking 60x and gambling with their lives.

The most heartbreaking part is that these people don’t even realize the risk, and they’re proud of thinking they’re guaranteed to make money.

Those who truly understand have already seen through it—contract trading is fundamentally a risk management tool, not a gamble. Every profit you make is essentially money lost by others when they get liquidated. That’s why professional traders spend 70% of their time waiting; if the market isn’t in the right position, they won’t make a move. When they do act, it’s a precise harvest.

What about ordinary people? They’re just messing around in the market every day, wasting their principal on ineffective operations.

To survive and make money in the contract market, there are really only two words: against human nature.

When others panic and chase the market, you need to stay calm and watch. When others greedily add positions, you should tighten your holdings.

Stop-loss must be strictly enforced—single-loss should never exceed 5%, that’s the bottom line. But once you turn losses into profits, you need to run faster than anyone else; at least, your take profit should be twice your stop loss before you dare to stop.

People often say, “Contracts are just gambling,” right? Actually, no.

Your liquidation happens because you rely on guesswork; we make money because we rely on logical, meticulous calculations. These two approaches are fundamentally different ways of thinking. For those still trading based on intuition, my advice is to rest early and stop staying up late. After all, in dreams, anything is possible—better than losing all your principal in reality.

Contract trading has no shortcuts—only repeated real-world practice and continuous self-correction.
