Honestly, most retail traders’ understanding of leveraged contracts is a complete mess.

When you see exchanges advertising 5x, 10x leverage, do you really think you're trading at 5x? There are pitfalls here that need to be thoroughly examined.

Having $10,000 USDT in your account, your maximum theoretical loss is $500. But then you open a position worth $30,000 USDT—on the surface, that looks like 5x leverage, but in reality? You're gambling with 60x leverage, completely unaware that you're on the brink of liquidation and still feeling "very safe." In fact, you're already standing on the edge of a cliff ready to explode.

Experienced traders in the contract market understand one thing clearly: this isn’t gambling; it’s risk management and capital game theory. Every profit in the market is essentially "harvested" from someone else’s liquidation account. Triggering a stop-loss is another person’s take-profit opportunity.

Professional-level traders share a consensus—70% of the time, they stay calm and observe. If the market hasn't reached the right position, they don’t act. When they do strike, there’s only one goal: precise targeting.

To survive and make money in this market, you must go against human nature. Stay calm when others panic; be even colder when others are consumed by greed.

There are only two core rules—

Stop-loss must be ruthless: if the loss exceeds 5%, cut the position immediately. Once in profit, take profits decisively—at least double the loss before exiting.

Contracts themselves are not monsters. Your frequent liquidations happen because you’re gambling; others consistently profit because they’re calculating carefully.

Instead of blaming "contracts are all traps," ask yourself—are the contracts flawed, or is it your stubborn, undisciplined heart causing trouble?

Don’t just trade based on feelings. You can dream of earning everything in your sleep, but in reality, you’ll only get liquidated. To survive and turn things around, start by building a complete trading system.
