Seeing many people stumble on contracts, I always want to ask everyone a heartfelt question: why are there always people爆仓every day, while others turn around and continue to冲?

Actually, the core issue isn't the tool itself, but that most people don't understand the rules before they get on the table. The platform shows 5x, 10x leverage, and you take it as if you're really using 5x risk? That's naive.

Here's a very painful example: an account with only 10,000 USDT principal, and a reasonable single-loss space of just a few hundred dollars. So what happens? Opening a position of 30,000 or 50,000—nominally 5x leverage, no mistake, but the actual risk you bear has already skyrocketed to ten or twenty times. From another perspective, this isn't trading anymore; it's gambling. Whether trading ETH or other coins, this curse cannot be avoided.

Those who truly thrive in contracts never treat them as money-printing machines. They are very clear in their minds: the essence of contracts is risk hedging and gaming tools, not a place for impulsive actions.

Look at how others play—70% of the time they are just waiting. When the market isn't clear enough, they stay in cash and stay calm. Only when an opportunity appears do they act. Once they act, their logic is solid, and they choose their positions very carefully, with only one goal: precisely harvesting the market. And many others, they can't sit still in the market, messing around every day, and in the end, the fees eat up most of the profits.

To survive in contracts, the core is these two words: anti-human nature.

Take POL's recent market as an example, this is especially obvious. When others cut losses and dump, don't panic with them. When they FOMO and push high, you should step on the brakes first. Stop-loss must be decisive, with a single-loss limit of within 5% that can't be broken; conversely, once the direction is confirmed to be correct, you must dare to pull profits, at least aiming for 2 to 3 times the space.

Don't casually throw out the phrase "contracts are gambling." If you爆仓, you're really gambling. Others make money by calculating risk, position size, and rhythm—these are two different things.

The market changes every day. Protect your principal, stay true to your original intention, and when the next cycle comes, you can stand firm. The market logic is right there; once you understand the rules thoroughly, you can traverse both bull and bear markets.
