#数字资产市场洞察 $ZEC What is the most common mistake made by contract beginners? It's not misjudging the direction, but rather getting wiped out in a single market wave.

I've seen too many people, holding just 1000U, daring to go all-in with 50x leverage, only to be liquidated after a quick pullback, then blaming everything—market unfairness, bad luck. But honestly, the problem isn't those reasons.

Contract trading is really about who can survive longer. 1000U is enough; the key is to learn self-protection.

**Position Management is the First Lesson**

Divide 1000U into 5 parts, each 200U. Only use one part to open a position at a time. With 10x leverage, you can catch most of the market moves. After making a profit? Take half of it and run. If you lose? Stop-loss immediately, shut up, and don't touch it again.

Always keep 4 parts in reserve for defense—only then will you have the confidence to keep playing. Without bullets, decision-making becomes easier to distort.

**Discipline is the only tool for survival**

Losing more than 6% in a day? Close the software immediately and force yourself to rest. Set stop-loss orders before each trade; if you lose 100-200U, exit right away—no bargaining.

After making a profit, use a trailing stop. Once the retracement exceeds 30%, lock in profits and exit. Want to add to your position? Only do so on profitable positions. Never think about averaging down to save the situation.

Do you know? The top traders in the industry have a win rate of around 60%. $ETH Those who truly succeed are not because they win every trade, but because they know how to keep losses small when they lose.

Market opportunities are available every day, but your capital is only one set. True experts are never those who dare to go all-in, but those who follow rules to survive cycle after cycle and still retain chips to continue participating. That is the essence of contract trading.

Oh dear, I've heard this trap 7 years ago in a certain 50x Get Liquidated group, is anyone still talking about this now... It’s not wrong, but guess what, how many people actually follow this? Not a single one, haha.

FOMO traders who go all-in with 50x leverage all end up wondering why they got liquidated—it's hilarious. --- This is the truth: living longer > making quick money. Too many people want to go all-in and turn their lives around in one shot. --- The key is to stick to discipline. Many people can't do it; stop-loss is just a decoration. --- It's outrageous that some people dare to use 50x leverage with only $1,000. I don't have that courage. --- Position management sounds easy in theory but is really hard to do in practice. If you can't get past the mindset hurdle, everything else is pointless. --- Even top traders with a 60% win rate can't survive without good loss control. --- Seemingly verbose rules are actually lifesavers, but unfortunately, beginners can't see that and have to learn the hard way.

That's right, going all-in is indeed a death sentence. --- Where are the guys who went all-in with 50x leverage now? Asking because "their skills aren't good enough" haha. --- I need to remember to close this software, or my hands will start to itch again. --- Living longer > earning quickly, this is a phrase that should be tattooed on newbies. --- The problem is that no one can really stick to a five-part position, always thinking they can be an exception. --- A 60% win rate in the industry is a number that needs to be repeated multiple times, so no one dreams of adding leverage while sleepwalking again. --- Those who say the market is unfair are actually just lacking discipline, don't blame others.

You talk really harshly, people who go all-in with 50x leverage deserve to get liquidated. --- I've been using this position management system for a long time, and it definitely helps me live much longer. --- The key is discipline; most people fail because they can't resist one bad trade. --- Close the software at 6%; I need to learn this. Right now, I'm always thinking about getting back to break even. --- The way you explained moving stop profits is excellent. I used to get liquidated out of greed. --- It's not about win rate; it's about knowing when to run. A painful lesson. --- Always keep 4 portions of funds for defense—that's a real eye-opener. Without bullets, you'll really be lost. --- I've seen too many people try to average down to save the situation. Nine out of ten times, they die on this.

That's so right, living longer is the key, and those who went all-in are all dead.

That's so true, discipline in stop-loss really can save lives. Going all-in and getting liquidated is the true reflection of futures trading. Those who go all-in with 50x leverage deserve to lose; there's no way out without self-rescue. Living longer is much more important than making quick money; if you can't grasp this principle, don't get involved. Human nature is greed, and the hard part is executing those four defensive measures.

Yeah, you're right. Those who go all-in with 50x leverage should have been cleared out long ago. --- Living long is the real winner. Once you understand this, you won't always get wiped out. --- Treat stop-loss as casually as eating, it's more important than anything else. --- Close the software at 6%? That discipline is indeed tough, but those who survive do it this way. --- All day long, those holding full positions are just here to give away money, no problem. --- The move to trailing take profit—veterans all play this way, right? --- Having only one share of capital hits the point home. All the all-in players have died.

Going all-in with 50x leverage is really asking for death. I've seen too many dreams shattered. Honestly, it's just greed that makes people not see the danger clearly.

actually, let me break this down for you—the 60% winrate thing is empirically where most people get it wrong. if you examine the data historically speaking, top traders aren't even hitting those numbers consistently. it's all about position sizing and governance of your risk capital, which fundamentally comes down to whether you have the discipline to actually enforce your own rules. most don't.
