You think liquidation is a technical issue, but actually it's a psychological one. Many people see the 5x, 10x leverage marked on the exchange and take it seriously. Your account has 10,000 USDT, and you can only withstand a loss of 500 USDT at most, yet you open a position of 100,000 USDT. It looks like 10x leverage, but in reality, you're already flirting with dozens of times the high-risk edge. When the market has a slight fluctuation, it results in a direct liquidation.



Highly volatile coins like Bitcoin and $SUI are especially prone to pitfalls. That's how the market makers make their money—by liquidating those out-of-control leveraged positions.

How do skilled contract traders operate? They spend 70% of their time observing, and only act during the remaining 30% when the market presents the best opportunities. Once they act, they do so precisely and efficiently, without hesitation. Most people, on the other hand, keep messing around, getting busier and losing more, ultimately working for the platform for free.

To survive in contracts, it only takes two words: restraint. When others panic, you must stay calm; when others are greedy, you need to be cautious. Losses must be strictly controlled within 6% of the account; conversely, when you have profits, you should dare to let the profits run and not rush to lock everything in.

Some say contracts are just gambling. Actually, that's not true. Real gamblers are those who go all-in based on gut feelings. Traders who rely on precise calculations depend not on luck, but on discipline and probabilistic thinking.

Someone rushing recklessly will inevitably crash. Only experienced traders can lead the way to ensure stability. To survive longer in this market, the key is to learn risk management and trading discipline.

Exactly right. I've seen too many people with only a few thousand in their accounts, insisting on opening positions with 10x leverage, only to have their positions wiped out in a single spike.

That's right, I've seen too many people go all-in and end up with nothing. It's really a mindset issue.

You're totally right, I'm the kind of person who works hard every day but still loses money. The busier I am, the more I lose. It's like working for the platform for free.

That's right, the people around me all died like that. They watch leverage multiples every day with eyes wide open, and as a result, their accounts shrink by half without even knowing what happened.

Oh no, this is the vivid example I see every day... Tenfold leverage in a single shot, and it's gone in less than a second.

That's right, mindset is the most important. I've seen too many people get envious when they see 10x leverage, only to lose it all after two or three market swings. Self-control is truly the most challenging lesson.
