How many times can perpetual contracts be opened? The real answer is not a number, but a strategy.
Say goodbye to the gambling mentality; this safety leverage guide may be more important than any single trade. $BTC
The backend is piled up with messages, all asking how many times leverage can be opened for perpetual contracts—I've answered this question for 5 years, from bull markets to bear markets, with beginners falling into traps and veterans also stumbling. $ETH
Perpetual contracts have no expiration date; as long as there is no liquidation, you can hold indefinitely. Sounds free, right? $BNB
But this freedom is full of pitfalls: you can increase your position at any time, wanting to chase profits when you earn, wanting to hold on when you lose; the temptation of doubling your profits with leverage clouds your judgment, and the risks have long been forgotten.
Last week, I met a crypto friend who said he often opens 30 to 50 times leverage. I joked with him about why he doesn't open 100 times, and he rolled his eyes: "It blows up too quickly; there's no time to run away." I laughed at that.
——Opening leverage is essentially walking on a tightrope; 50 times is like a slow knife cutting, while 100 times is like a fast knife chopping; the difference lies in how many seconds the market gives you to react.
Take BTC as an example: 30 times can't withstand a 16-point fluctuation, 50 times can handle 10 points, and 100 times shrinks directly to 5 points. 1 time is as stable as a deposit but earns slowly; 100 times is fierce as a tiger, but without stop-losses and discipline, your account can be wiped out in an instant.
What truly causes your liquidation is never the high leverage but blindly increasing your position and running out of margin. If you think you can leverage a few hundred U to pry out tens of thousands in returns, you'll be swept out of the market with a slight shake.
The most heartbreaking thing is not seeing a reversal in the market but clearly being right, yet because you over-leveraged, a minor shake knocks you out, leaving you watching the market rise.
Remember: perpetual contracts are not afraid of high leverage; they fear not leaving room in your account. The margin must withstand normal fluctuations; that’s the bottom line.
Three iron rules etched in your heart: 1. Use isolated margin only; using full margin is like tying your wealth to a bomb;
2. You must set stop-losses; the moment you hold a position, the countdown to liquidation begins; 3. Don't be too greedy; with a 5000 U principal, earning 50 to 100 U daily and compounding is much better than gambling once.
Leverage amplifies not the market, but your greed and discipline. A controlled 100 times is a thousand times safer than blindly holding 5 times.
Perpetual contracts are not about having a big heart; it's about surviving longer—only a reliable system allows you to leave with a smile.
