In the #BTC资金流动性 $COAI market, why do beginners so easily get wrecked as soon as they enter? To put it plainly, it's still a matter of not understanding the difference between direction and rhythm.



Recently, I've seen many cases of accounts being wiped out instantly. Reviewing their trading records reveals a surprisingly consistent logic—they all fell into the same few traps.

$MYX 's story is worth paying attention to. These 5 common pitfalls that beginners in contracts are most likely to stumble into—if you avoid them all, you'll at least survive longer than most people.

**Playing with excessive leverage**

Going all-in with 50x or 100x leverage sounds exciting, but in reality? The market just trembles a little, and the account is gone. Contracts are not about having a big guts, but about rhythm and risk control awareness. 3–5x leverage is normal operation, enough to withstand fluctuations and give yourself a breathing space.

**Stop-loss is useless**

"Wait a bit, it will bounce back" or "I've already lost so much, I can't bear to cut"—these are the last words of many before death. The first thing to do when opening a position is to set a stop-loss. If you make a profit, push it up—that's the way to stay alive. Hardly taking losses? That's gambling with your life.

**Going all-in with funds**

Think the opportunity is here, and go all-in with one click? That's not trading, that's all-in gambling. There's a strict rule to remember: risk per trade should be within 2% of your principal. For a $10,000 account, with 10x leverage, the maximum loss per trade is $200. With this limit, even the wildest market can't wipe you out.

**Being driven by emotions**

Chasing when $SOL rises, panicking when it falls—FOMO can throw everything into chaos, and you might end up liquidated without even knowing how. Successful traders who make real money are those who plan ahead and execute strictly. Minimize watching the screen, and clear your emotions from trading.

**Exchange pitfalls**

Slippage, weird executions during extreme market conditions—many people only realize these after being "educated" by them. Mainstream platforms are relatively more reliable, but before big news or extreme volatility, it's best not to make reckless moves.

The contract market is brutal, but the rules are the same for everyone. Those who understand survive; those who don't pay tuition.

Those who go all-in with 50x are fools. Listen to me, staying alive is the real principle.

That's right, I've seen too many people go all-in and get wiped out 100 times over. They really deserve it.

Going all-in with 50x leverage is really exciting for a moment, but your account gets wiped out... I've seen this happen way too many times.

Those who go all-in with 100x are just trying to get rich quick, but in the end, they all end up wiped out.

Honestly, I've seen 100x all-in bets many times, and it's usually a recipe for account zeroing out...
