I will say some things clearly at once, to avoid repeating myself.



My opinion on contract-type products is very straightforward - the cost-performance ratio of participating in them is simply not worth it.

This is not moral coercion, but purely a mathematical calculation: the odds structure is naturally tilted towards the platform. With a 1:0.8 payout setup, you don't need to waste your energy on games that rely on "guessing results." There are too many opportunities in this market with better win rates and odds, so why choose this one?

I am not just talking theory. To be honest, I have paid tuition myself, and as someone with a complete trading record and a long history in the market, I also lose money on these types of products.

The amount of money lost is not too much, just a few hundred USDT, but the whole process is particularly representative:
At first, I didn't care and thought it was easy to make a profit.
Then start imagining a winning streak, doubling the investment, and quickly doubling it;
It was only at the end that I realized this mechanism's limit was set from the very beginning, leaving no room for adjusting strategies.

Once I calmed down and reviewed, the conclusion was actually very clear:
This is not a matter of technology or judgment, but a problem with the product design itself.

From a framework perspective, it is not designed for you to make stable long-term profits through analysis and judgment.

So I can advise one person at a time. If you think you have a more stable mindset, better judgment, and stronger emotional control, then go ahead and try; I won't stop you. But at the very least, understand what kind of game rules you are up against.

It's still more reliable to return to the fundamentals:
Grid strategy running slowly;
Focus on shorting small coins during weak cycles;
By extending the operation cycle, the probability of making mistakes naturally decreases.

Some gains are not that you can't earn them, but rather that they are really not worth pursuing in that way.

Wow, this contract is really a trap, my brother isn’t wrong at all. Listening to you is better than reading ten years of books, decisively giving up on that thing. How can there still be people jumping into this pit? The math is so simple. I was wondering why I'm always losing, turns out the mechanism itself is a slaughter knife. Grid trading is the right path, this broken contract should get lost. Agreed, no matter how strong your mindset is, you can't go against a bad design, it's true.

I have completely given up on contracts; the odds structure is just a trap. The lesson learned from a few hundred U in tuition is simply not worth continuing to mess around.

Oh dear, a few hundred USDT for a lesson, I'm about the same here... All in on contracts and you'll know, the odds are really designed to be tight. But speaking of which, this guy analyzes pretty well, much more reliable than those black talk vendors who brag about getting rich from contracts every day. Slowly running grids + shorting small coins, that's all I've got left, after getting the free ride it's better to quietly make a fortune than to stare at the market all day and go all in and get wiped out. --- Contracts are just a game for playing people for suckers, I'd rather slowly recoup investment than reinvest in that pit. --- So true, a few hundred bucks in tuition is nothing, the key is to understand the rules and not blindly go all in. --- Isn't this just the gambler's mentality? Doubling down on investments, hoping for a winning streak... I've also fallen for it, now I'm just honestly doing grids. --- Even the electricity fee people are better than playing contracts, at least they can still get a free ride... this broken odds structure should have been reported long ago.
