#密码资产动态追踪 Honestly speaking: leverage contracts are a double-edged sword for ordinary retail investors. They can be a path to reversal or the easiest way to turn into a money grinder.​



I've seen too many people fall into this trap: a few hundred or thousand dollars in capital, dreaming of short-term doubling and then exiting — only to experience three days of frenzy, two days of regret, and one day of liquidation. When the account hits zero, the mindset often collapses more easily than the loss itself.​

I started exploring with 8,000 yuan in capital and almost got taken to the liquidation line several times. My fingers trembled over the stop-loss button more than once. But in the end, I survived and gradually stabilized my profits. Why? Not because of luck, nor because of so-called "genius traders." To put it simply: systematic execution > gambling on luck.​

The core truth is actually quite cruel — losing 90% does not mean you break even by earning back 90%; you need to multiply your capital tenfold to recover. Once you understand this math problem, you won't blindly add to your positions anymore. Many people die because of their ignorance of this risk multiplier.​

Looking at those around who frequently get liquidated, their routines are all the same: opening trades based on intuition, adding to positions due to emotions, using luck as a stop-loss. In the face of the market, this approach is just sending oneself to be slaughtered.​

Conversely, I mostly use indicators like Bollinger Bands — but there are also many pitfalls here. Most people only look at them but don't know how to use them. The real application is understanding what an open mouth means, how to identify false breakouts, and where the details of trend confirmation lie. Once you grasp these logics, the market's temperament becomes less difficult to understand. I once caught the rhythm right and saw my account grow over 30 times in a month — this is not luck, but a system that beats noise.​

Let me ask you a question: when you place an order now, do you really have a complete trading system in your hands? Or do you rely more on feelings, what others say, or temporary judgments?​

Are you still stuck in the cycle of "liquidation — adding positions — liquidated again"? It’s time to wake up. This is not called learning; it’s called bleeding.​

If you feel confused and are continuously losing money, it’s really worth thinking carefully about where the fundamental problem lies. For friends with capital but lacking direction, it’s better to first establish a solid trading logic than to blindly try and error.

Damn, this paragraph really hit me in the heart. That's exactly how I blew up before. It sounds like it's talking about me, I’m most familiar with that feeling of opening trades based on intuition. 30x? Bro, that number is a bit scary. Can you explain it in detail? The part about liquidation cycles is real; I’m stuck right there right now. So, in the end, you still need a system. Without one, you're just waiting to die. I also use the Boll channel, but I really haven't figured out the fake breakout part. Losing 90% to make 10x to break even—I've calculated this math countless times, and every time I feel hopeless. It seems like the ones losing money are those like me who rely on intuition. There's no way around it; I’m just too greedy. Your experience really does serve as a wake-up call, but the market's temperament is really not that easy to figure out. But on the other hand, how many traders actually have a complete system? I think it's all just a lie.

It took three margin calls to realize that without a system, you're just giving away money. Your fingers really do tremble on the stop-loss button; only those who have experienced it know how it feels. Losing 90% and needing ten times the profit to break even—this math problem is too heartbreaking. It feels like it's talking about me—placing orders based on intuition and then nothing happens. I also look at Bollinger Bands, but to be honest, most of the time I just watch for fun. Now, every time I open a trade, I ask myself if I have a system; if not, I don't act. Repeated margin calls are truly slow suicide; I need to make serious changes. Why do some people rely on luck for stop-loss? Isn't that pure self-deception? A 30x increase in a month? I find it hard to believe, but if it's true, it shows that the system really has something. To friends still adding to their positions, stop and think about the fundamental problem.

Oh no, it's the same old spiel... The truth is, if you get liquidated 90%, you should be out. Don't expect to tenfold your money. Thirty times in a month? Show me your account screenshot. I've heard this system theory too many times; in the end, it's just the prelude to cutting leeks. Nine out of ten people who survive relying on indicators are lying. Alright, I rely on intuition anyway. Since I've already been completely wiped out, I feel much more relaxed. Whether your mindset collapses or not, you first need capital, bro. Bollinger Bands? The last time I heard someone say that, their account was cleared in three days. Futures contracts should be avoided altogether, or you'll end up with the same fate sooner or later. No matter how good it sounds, it can't change the fact that a zero-risk system simply doesn't exist.

Got it, it's the same old story. To be honest, 90% of the time you need to tenfold your investment to break even. I’ve already calculated this math long ago; the key is still to stay alive. Liquidation—Adding funds—Liquidation again. That’s right, I know at least eight out of ten people around me who have died from this. Systematic execution is indeed impressive, but most people simply can't do it. Including myself, sometimes I also rely on intuition and make random moves. I’ve tried the Boll channel method, and you really need to understand it thoroughly, otherwise it’s just guesswork. The most heartbreaking thing is that question: Do you really have a complete system? Honestly, sometimes I don’t either, just throwing punches based on feelings.

Really, after reading this article, I couldn't help but think of my buddy, who dreams of leverage every day, now his dream has been shattered. Those who rely on gut feeling to place orders tend to die the fastest, I am an example. System > Gambling, this sentence hits hard. Liquidation, adding margin, then liquidating again—it's a cycle of hell, brother. Bollinger Bands look simple but are actually deadly traps; who would really use them? Turning 8,000 yuan into now, this guy definitely has some skills. A shattered mentality is more despairing than losing money itself, I totally get it. Losing 90% and then multiplying tenfold to break even—there are many people who just can't understand this math problem. Trading purely on intuition—that's rushing headlong on the path of a gambler. 30x in a month? I don't believe it, but this system definitely requires it.

It sounds reasonable, but I've seen too many "systems" ultimately die in emotions. This wave resulted in another loss, I really should cool down for a few days. You're right, 90% of the time to break even requires tenfold returns. I've calculated it several times but still can't remember. Liquidation, adding to the position, then liquidating again—I've really experienced this cycle, it’s quite painful. The part where my fingers trembled, I feel like I was called out, so true. Bollinger Bands sound simple, but using them is a whole different story; I just know how to look at them. Many people trade purely on intuition, and I was one of them who got caught in the trap. There are really few reliable systems; most are just gambling with luck.
