#美联储回购协议计划 Contracts are really a trap, speaking from my personal experience. With a margin of 90u, I was directly liquidated down to a remaining 240u loss, losing over 100u just like that. Watching others make huge profits from trading contracts, what about me? Making a few u is already difficult, and with a quick turn, I get hit with a limit down, dropping dozens of u in principal by losing over ten points, and I can't react in time. Not cutting losses means waiting for death; cutting losses results in bloody losses. In this market, contracts are like a man-eating monster, especially for small retail traders using leverage. A slight slip-up and it's Game Over. Honestly, the risks of trading contracts are simply not something retail traders can bear.

Is 90u gone directly? Bro, you lost enough this wave. I’ve been saying that small retail traders playing contracts are just giving away money.
---
I also experienced the moment of a limit-down. I really couldn’t react at all; my account was gone.
---
Watching others make a killing while I suffer a huge loss, how strong must your mentality be to keep playing?
---
Leverage is a double-edged sword. It’s exhilarating when you make money, but when you lose, you realize what despair really is.
---
Cutting losses or waiting to die, this choice is so painful. I’ve felt it deeply.
---
The contract market is like this: big players cut the leeks skillfully, and we small retail traders can only watch and follow.

Contracts are really incredible, dropping from heaven to hell in just one second. Quick reactions are useless.
---
At the moment of liquidation, I guess everyone was stunned. Over 100 USDT just disappeared, that's the most heartbreaking part.
---
Small traders playing with leverage are just fighting against the market makers, losing too much.
---
Seeing others make money makes people eager to follow, but it ends up being just for the leek farmers, a blood and tears lesson.
---
Contracts are just a meat grinder that eats people, especially for inexperienced newbies who can't withstand any volatility.
---
Whether it's taking a loss or liquidation, there is no correct answer to this question.
---
One opposite move in the market and everything is over. Why do some still keep going forward?
---
90 USDT margin is gone instantly, and this bear market is even harsher.

90u is gone, brother. This is exactly what I wanted to say last time—the contract is basically a gambling machine.
---
I also experienced a margin call moment; I was completely numb. When I came to, the money was gone.
---
Leverage is truly a double-edged sword. It’s exhilarating when you’re making money, but when you lose, it’s an instant wipeout.
---
Watching others make hundreds of dollars daily on their contracts, I instantly lose five figures in a second. Why is the gap so huge?
---
Whether to cut or not to cut, it’s a death sentence either way. That’s the subtlety of contracts, haha.
---
Small retail investors playing this are just sending money. Knowing I still have to go on, I’m hopeless.
---
When the market drops, the entire account evaporates. It feels ten times faster than spot trading losses.
---
Sleepwalking trader reporting in—woke up to find myself already Game Over.
---
Others earn tens of thousands a month, I spend tens of thousands a month. Contracts are truly a ruthless game that devours you.

90u is gone directly, this is my blood and tears story, I really can't play
---
Contracts are really money-cutting machines, small retail investors just send their vegetables in
---
Watching others make money, but I just fall into a daze and it's Game Over, unbelievable
---
A drop of more than ten points can deduct dozens of u, who the hell can hold this risk
---
Waiting to die by not cutting losses or bleeding out, these are the two paths for small retail investors in contracts
---
Leverage, if you react one second slow, you'll lose money, it's simply not suitable for us
---
Don't be fooled by others' bragging, small retail investors will be eaten clean once they enter

Losing 90u is really painful, but you're still considered lucky. I've seen even more outrageous cases, like being wiped out from 5000 in one night. Leverage is a gambler's game; without a stop-loss discipline, you'll eventually have to pay tuition fees.
