Yesterday, I saw someone in the group posting a screenshot of the liquidation, and the account was directly reset to zero. Half of the people in the comment area scolded the platform for being black, and the other half dissuaded novices not to touch the contract. Strangely, there are still countless people rushing in every day.

To put it bluntly, most people don't understand the account at all.

The most outrageous operation I have ever seen: there is 10,000 U lying in the account, but I open a position of 30,000 U, and I show off everywhere that "I only use 5 times leverage, which is very stable". In fact? The risk of this gameplay has been magnified to 60 times - even if you don't even know you're dancing on the tip of a knife.

The group of people who really survived by contracts, they played a different set of logic. In essence, this is a zero-sum game, and the money earned is the money from the opponent's liquidation. Those veterans spend 70% of their time waiting and waiting for market sentiment to be unbalanced and opportunities are clear before taking action. On the other hand, newbies? I can't wait to watch the market 24 hours a day, and stud every time it fluctuates.

If you want to live in this industry for a long time, you have to learn a few things that are against humanity: you have to be calm when the market is panicking, and you have to be vigilant when everyone is FOMO; a single loss is strictly controlled within 5%; Take profit is set at least twice the stop loss - this is not timidity, it is settling accounts.

There are always people who insist that "contracts are gambling". That's right, for those who don't understand the rules, it is. But those who liquidate positions are always those who place orders based on feelings, and those who make money are those who disassemble the risk clearly.

If you are still judging the market by "feeling", then don't stay up late and dream of getting rich. Focusing on mainstream currencies such as BTC and ETH and establishing your own trading system is the right way to survive for a long time.

That's so true. I have at least three friends who played themselves to death this way. They must have been pretty desperate when their accounts hit zero. --- 5x leverage haha, I laughed. People like that will definitely be crying in the liquidation group in the end. --- The key is that new beginners simply can't tell the difference between leverage and position. They're really digging their own graves. --- Calmly calculating your accounts can indeed help you survive longer, but most people simply can't wait that long. --- I've seen many traders rely on intuition to place orders, and now I don't even want to talk about how they ended up. --- I believe in the 70% waiting data; seasoned traders are just waiting for others to slip up. --- Tsk, another fear driven by liquidation, and next year there will still be people making the same mistakes. --- That's why I only trade spot; futures are really either big money or nothing at all. --- For those showing off stable profits, I just ask one question: do you make enough to cover that one liquidation? --- Honestly, it's a matter of execution. How many people can actually stick to a simple rule like stop-loss?

Spending 10,000 USDT to open a 30,000 leverage is still showing off; this mindset is bound to explode. Honestly, most people have a gambler’s mentality, losing one round and wanting to make it back. Veterans are truly waiting; only those who can wait are fundamentally making money. I’ve seen too many people go all-in and end up losing their principal. A 5% stop-loss sounds simple, but when it’s really happening, it’s hard to let go. This stuff, frankly, is a psychological game—whoever stays calm wins. The most terrifying thing for beginners is watching the market 24/7, opening positions at every dip. It’s indeed against human nature; when others are FOMOing in calm moments, that’s the gap. It always feels like the ones placing orders are the cannon fodder; there’s nothing much to say. Be it BTC or ETH, focus on steady progress, don’t always think about getting rich overnight. Those who get liquidated are classmates; those making money are silent veterans. Turning 10,000 USDT into 30,000 leverage, it’s really time to calm down.

10,000 USDT opening a 30,000 position and still bragging about it, this guy really can't be saved Really, making money when the other side gets liquidated is the key. Once you understand this, you win The calmer you are during FOMO, the more you make money. Going the opposite way is the right approach Watching newbies stare at the screen and go all-in 24/7, I know another bunch will end up with zero Stop loss at 5%, take profit at 10%. Sounds conservative but lasts the longest, no problem For beginners, contracts are definitely gambling, but for those who understand risk control, it's a money-printing machine Those who get liquidated always blame the platform, but they never really calculated their losses Spending 70% of the time observing and waiting for opportunities shows discipline most people lack, no wonder they always lose Feeling like you're close to liquidation as soon as you place an order, this is the most common way I see money being given away

Starting with 10,000 USDT to open a 30,000 position and still dare to show off, this person truly has a fool's mind. Really, some people are simply unworthy of trading with leverage; they are just giving away money. Experienced traders observe 70% of the time, while newbies rush to place orders in a second, and the gap is outrageously huge. The key is that some people stubbornly refuse to repent; after being liquidated, they keep pushing in. That's right, I feel that sooner or later, everyone placing orders will end up in the ICU. I think this is a screening mechanism; those who can't do the math will eventually be eliminated. Instead of FOMO, it's better to study BTC trends carefully; at least you'll die with some clarity.

Is risking 30,000 with 10,000 U still worth showoff? I just laughed. This is not courage, it's seeking death. 60x leverage without proper accounting, no wonder daily liquidation screenshots are everywhere. Waiting and observing is the best strategy; newbies are all in for a Hail Mary. Feeling like placing an order = giving away money. If you can't understand this, just don't play. Don't mess around if you haven't understood the risk-reward ratio for stop loss and take profit; you'll lose until you doubt life. Honestly, nine out of ten people who get liquidated haven't learned risk management. Veterans are calmly waiting for opportunities, while newbies are panicking like ants on a hot pot. FOMO is the biggest killer; the crazier the market, the more you need to stay steady. With such a lack of self-discipline, you still want to make money in the crypto world?

Honestly, I've seen many people open $30,000 positions with only $10,000 and genuinely think they're "trading safely." It cracks me up. Most people just can't do the math and blame the platform when they lose. Waiting and watching 70% of the time is the real key; beginners are the worst at learning this.
