The world of contract trading is truly polarized—some people make a fortune, while others end up losing everything. But this phenomenon actually reveals an interesting contradiction: given that so many people get liquidated, why are there still continuous entrants into the market?

The answer is straightforward: that "possibility of a comeback." Even though only a few succeed, this potential opportunity is enough to attract countless traders. But this is also the most dangerous aspect of contracts—it's too easy to overlook the risks.

However, I want to say that contracts are not as mysterious as you think. The real key to winning isn't about how complex your technical analysis is, nor about how much leverage you use, but whether you can maintain your mindset. Simply put, it's about timing your add positions and stop-losses, and not being swayed by market noise during volatility.

Based on my recent real trading experience—starting with 200 USDT, I managed to reach 10,000 USDT in about two months. That progress looks good, but the key is that every trade was very disciplined. I never gamble on the top or bottom; I wait for clear signals and act accordingly, taking profits when satisfied and immediately stopping. This discipline is very important.

Many beginners make the same mistake: they want to make quick money right after entering, using 100x leverage to try to earn hundreds of dollars in one go, but they completely underestimate how volatile the market can be. The profits they make can vanish in an instant.

My own approach is using 20x leverage, aiming for a return of 5 to 20 times, with a holding time usually between 1 to 4 hours. This method may not make you rich overnight, but its biggest advantage is extremely low liquidation risk and steady accumulation. Compared to those fantasies of doubling overnight, steady accumulation is closer to financial freedom.

My final insight is: contracts are not a game of gambling with your life; they are more like a long-term mental discipline. You can't make money every day, but with strict rules and a solid stop-loss system, you can ensure you don't get liquidated or driven by emotions. Just like I do—step by step, taking profits when they come, becoming more confident with each trade, and gradually compounding your profits.

So remember— the charm of contracts is never about getting rich overnight, but about steady accumulation month by month, quarter by quarter. Those who always think about turning 1000 into 1 million should let go of that mindset. Anyone who truly survives in contract trading understands that every penny is accumulated step by step, footprint by footprint.
