Recently tried out leverage trading with contract positions, using 3x leverage to make a small profit, and it felt pretty good. However, it also reminded me that—leverage is indeed a double-edged sword. It's exciting when you make money, but the risks are always there. A small mistake can cause your gains to reverse instantly. Therefore, the most important thing when using leverage is to manage risk properly and not get blinded by small profits. After all, surviving in the contract market is more important than making big money.

Daring to play with 3x leverage, quite brave. But surviving and exiting is the real key; there's really nothing to argue about on that point.

Making a small profit of 3x is really satisfying, but in this market, a sudden crash can wipe out all your gains. I've only understood this after being trapped myself.

Playing with 3x leverage takes real guts. I got liquidated last time with 5x, so now I have a psychological shadow when I see leverage.

Using 3x leverage to make a small profit can indeed be easy to drift away, but seeing how quickly you realize the importance of risk control shows that you still have data sensitivity. The key is ROI stability, not single-transaction gains.
