Five Major Pitfalls for Newbies in Contracts: Just One is Enough to Lose Everything
Every day, new entrants get taken away, from 500U to 0U, just one K-line is enough.
The reasons are all concentrated on a few deadly habits; just stepping into one will bring liquidation right in front of you.
1: Leverage is not a multiplier, it's a tombstone
Do you also think, "10 times is too slow, let's get some excitement, 50 times, 100 times, let's go for it!"
3–5 times leverage can withstand emotions; a 20% fluctuation won't make you die instantly.
You have to survive first before you qualify to talk about making money.
2: Not setting stop-loss is just waiting to die
"Don't cut yet, it should rebound." "I've already lost half, I don't want to run now."
And then? The rebound didn't come, but the knife came first, and the entire position went to zero.
Those who truly know how to trade contracts think about how to exit at the moment of opening the position.
Stop-loss is always more important than direction.
3: Full position is risking your life to the market
I always tell newcomers: "Your position should not exceed total position × 5% ÷ leverage."
10,000 U? 10 times leverage? Your maximum per trade is 500U.
When the market turns, your account can still breathe.
4: Emotional trading is the most toxic addiction
Chasing green when it surges, cutting losses when it drops.
This is not trading; it's being led by the market.
The market loves to harvest a group of retail investors dragged by emotions.
Those who truly make money are never impulsive: they make plans, set ranges, set take-profit and stop-loss,
Execution is more important than direction.
5: Not knowing the rules is like running naked
"Wick, slippage, liquidation of positions" is always confusing for newbies when they encounter it for the first time.
In extreme markets, you don't reduce your position? Dare you still hold leverage during major news?
The speed of exchanges is colder than you think.
Understanding the rules means paying less tuition.
The crypto world does not lack opportunities, but lacks people who can survive.
The first lesson for newbies is not making money, but not dying.
Follow me, and I will guide you from "randomly clicking skills" to truly understanding the market,
being able to avoid pitfalls, stabilize, and profit during uptrends.
The contract market is not a casino; as long as you are willing to learn,
it can become your most stable source of cash flow.
