In the futures market, so many people get liquidated, so why do some still keep coming back? Honestly, there's only one reason — most people simply don't understand what they're doing.
How many people take the platform's label of "5x leverage, 10x leverage" seriously? With a 10,000 US dollar account, the maximum loss should be 500 US dollars, but they end up opening a 30,000 US dollar position. They think it's 5x, but in reality, they've already leveraged dozens of times. When the market moves slightly, they end up working for the exchange.
Those who have experienced trading know that their approach is completely different. They treat contracts as risk management tools, not gambling. The chips that come out of liquidated positions are actually their profit sources.
What is the rhythm of a master trader? Simple and straightforward — spend about 70% of the time waiting, waiting for a clear opportunity in the market before taking action. Once they start, they are precise, decisive, and swift. Compared to ordinary traders who operate blindly every day, busy for nothing, their accounts still shrink, eventually becoming a stable income source for the platform.
To survive in this market, there are only two words: restraint.
Be calm when others panic, be cautious when others are greedy. Losses should be strictly kept within 5% of the account, and not exceeded. When profitable, instead of locking in gains, dare to expand profits and let them run. Don’t rush to close positions just to lock in profits.
Some say contracts = gambling. That’s only half true. The real gamblers are those who go all-in with full positions based solely on intuition. Traders who rely on calculations depend not on luck, but on discipline and probability — repeat this logic, and long-term expectations will be positive.
Going all out alone will eventually lead to a crash. To grow steadily, what you need is clear rules and strong execution.

That was pretty harsh, but it really hit the mark. Eight out of ten friends around me who got liquidated opened positions without calculating, they deserve it.

Damn, it's the same old story again, but some people just can't seem to listen.

honestly the leverage trap hits different when you're just eyeballing numbers without actually seasoning your position sizes right... most people cooking up their contracts like they're just throwing random ingredients at the wall smh

That's correct. Most people simply haven't calculated their actual leverage ratio accurately. I've seen too many on-chain wallet data, and the behavior patterns of addresses that frequently get liquidated can be seen through at a glance—they are entirely random walks with no trading discipline whatsoever.
The word "restraint" is easy to say, but very few actually follow through. Waiting itself is a test of patience, and most people can't endure that process.

Honestly, nine out of ten liquidations happen because traders didn't understand leverage properly, and the remaining one is just extremely bad luck.

actually, the algorithmic beauty of risk management here is what separates the signal from the noise... those liquidation cascades are just emergent patterns in the blockchain's computational substrate
