#数字资产市场动态 Contracts are a game with only two possible outcomes: either accurately assessing risk and consistently making profits, or making a single misjudgment and being completely wiped out.
I've seen too many people come in with just a few thousand yuan in capital, all thinking about getting rich overnight. And what’s the result? Liquidation becomes a daily routine, followed by all kinds of complaints—"The market is against me." Honestly, it's not luck that causes losses; it's a significant lack of understanding of risk.
I used to be like that too. Small capital, high-frequency trading, staying up all night watching the charts—my mindset was like riding a roller coaster. A single long needle could wipe out my principal, and I was especially miserable back then. Later, I survived by a key realization: every liquidation was a chance to settle the "debt of understanding."
Many people think that 3x or 5x leverage is safe. Wrong. Leverage only postpones risk; it doesn't eliminate it. Once leverage is used, losses grow like a snowball. Plus, with trading fees, slippage, and other hidden costs, your account is like being slowly drained.
Mathematically, it’s even more brutal: losing 50% requires doubling to break even; losing 90% means earning 9 times more to turn around. The more you try to recover by increasing position size or reinvesting, the more you push yourself into the abyss.
What truly changed me was establishing a disciplined trading system. Use the BOLL indicator to identify entry points based on trend, avoiding false signals; never place emotional orders, all actions strictly follow rules; cut losses immediately when needed, completely isolating feelings.
If you're still trading based on intuition, losing money isn’t bad luck; it’s because you haven't developed a survival system yet. To go further in this market, going solo is a dead end. You need someone to help control risk and impose mutual constraints.

Wow, this paragraph really hits home, especially the math that says a 90% loss requires a 9x gain to break even... Truly incredible, how many people have been ruined by this.

Ah, really, leverage is just an illusion. You think you're making money, but you're actually paying off debt.

That's true, but few really survive. I've seen too many people who think they understand risk control, only to lose everything at the first black swan.

It's a harsh statement, but you can tell it's a story of blood and tears. That 90% turnaround requires earning nine times the amount, and I calculated it once, which directly caused social anxiety...

Really, leverage is a trap. I used to think I could turn things around with 3x leverage, but in the end, I got bitten back immediately.

That's right, it's those who are still sleepwalking that are most likely to get wiped out by leverage. I've seen too many people around me blow up their positions because they refuse to admit defeat, insisting on adding to their positions to save the market, only to end up worse off.

That's true, but to be honest, 99% of people will still continue to rely on intuition after reading this article haha
