#BTC资金流动性 How many times should I open a Perptual Futures contract? I've been hearing this question for almost 6 years now, and every market cycle someone asks it. In a bull run, newbies fall into traps, and in a Bear Market, crypto veterans also get wrecked. The answer is not about the numbers; it's about the strategy.



The messages in the backend are piling up, all about this—Perptual Futures have no expiration date, and as long as you don't get liquidated, you can hold your position indefinitely, which sounds incredibly free. But this "freedom" is full of traps: you can increase your position at any time, wanting to chase orders when you're in profit, and wanting to hold on when you're losing—once leverage is applied, the temptation of doubling your profits creeps into your mind, while the risks are completely forgotten. $BTC

Last week, I met a veteran trader who said that he played 30 to 50 times all year round, and I teased him to simply open 100 times, and he rolled his eyes: "It exploded too fast, and I couldn't react at all." "I laughed at the time.

——In fact, trading with leverage is like dancing on a tightrope; 50x is a slow cut, while 100x is a direct chop, the difference lies in how many seconds the market gives you to escape. $ETH

Take $BTC as an example - a 30x market can explode with a 16-point shake, a 50x has to endure a 10-point drop, and a 100x can directly shrink to 5 points. A 1x is as stable as a savings account, making money at a turtle's pace; a 100x is fierce as a tiger, but without stop-loss and discipline, the account can be wiped out in seconds. $BNB

What really blows you up is not the leverage itself, but the reckless over-leveraging and piling up the margin to the max. Trying to leverage a few hundred dollars to move tens of thousands in profit, and with just a slight market tremor, you get swept out of the game—what's most heart-wrenching is that you clearly predicted the right direction, but because you maxed out your leverage, a small fluctuation knocked you out, and you can only watch helplessly as the market skyrockets.

There are just these three rules, remember them in your mind:

1. Only use the warehouse-by-warehouse mode, and the whole warehouse is to tie the whole body to the bomb; Second, the stop loss can not be without, the moment you decide to carry the order, the countdown to the liquidation will be opened; 3. Don't be greedy, the goal of 5,000 yuan principal is to earn 50 to 100 yuan a day, and compound interest is rolled up, which is far more fragrant than a big gamble.

In simple terms, what leverage amplifies is not the market trend, but the greed and discipline within human nature. A real 100x trade that can control risk is a thousand times safer than a blind 5x position.

The essence of playing Perptual Futures is not about courage, but about how long you can survive—only with a reliable system and proper management can you exit with a smile. Want to see through the tricks and seize the next wave of opportunities?

You're right, it's a human nature issue. I also filled up my Margin before, but a single Fluctuation got me liquidated, and it was particularly painful to watch the market rise.

You are right, the key is really discipline, not the multiplier. I've seen too many people explode directly because of greed.

Indeed, every time I read this kind of article, I think of that time when I got washed out again. I clearly saw the right direction, but because of greed, I filled up and ended up getting wiped out completely. Now I'm just sticking to a stop loss for each position; staying alive is the true victory.

To be honest, don’t just look at the multiples; the key is whether there is discipline. I have seen people with 50x leverage survive longer than those with 100x.

You're right, I've been washed out by holding a losing position with 5 times leverage, it hurts.

You are absolutely right. Every time I see someone ask about multiples, I want to roll my eyes. Eight or nine times out of ten, those asking will be gone in two months.

Here comes the trap again. It sounds nice to say it's gambling, but those who get out of positions with full leverage are just paying tuition.
