Many people get liquidated in contracts and turn around to curse the platform, the market, and the market maker. But where does the problem actually lie? To put it simply: it's not the market that played you, but rather you never understood what you were doing from the very first trade.

Let's talk about a real situation: the account only has 10,000 U, and the maximum loss it can bear is about 500 U. As a result, in a fit of excitement, I directly opened a position of 30,000 U, happily saying, "This is 5x leverage." Don't kid yourself; in reality, you're already dozens of times over the edge of a cliff. If the market fluctuates slightly, the account is instantly wiped out clean, without even having time to set a stop loss.

This is not the market being too harsh; you are gambling.

So how do those who really know how to play do it? There's one core principle: contracts are not about betting on price fluctuations, but about managing risk.

Their rhythm is completely opposite to that of most retail investors - they spend 70% of the time waiting. If the signals are not in place, they won't make a single trade. Once they do take action, it's precise, clean, and they are decisively willing to cut losses. In contrast, retail investors make twenty or thirty trades a day, relying solely on their mood at the moment to open positions. The busier they are, the more they lose, and in the end, all their hard-earned money is piled up in the market.

If you want to survive longer in contracts, remember these two words: restraint. Stay calm when others are panicking, and be cautious when others are rushing in just because they see others taking off.

Fund management is actually not that complicated: a single loss should not exceed 5% of the account; when you see a profit, you can increase your position and let the profits run. Making money has never relied on one big bet to win or lose, but rather on one hundred, two hundred trades, accumulating with stable probabilities.

Is a contract gambling or work? For those who recklessly leverage and operate based on feelings, it is indeed gambling. But for those who can calculate precisely, understand stop-loss, and manage positions, contracts become a cash machine composed of probability and discipline.

If a person rushes in blindly, there is an eighty to ninety percent chance they will get liquidated. Only by following someone who truly understands the methods can one become increasingly stable.
