$BEAT In the cryptocurrency world for ten years, I have seen too many people ask: "How many times should I open a perpetual contract?" The answer may surprise you—the key to the problem has never been in the multiplier itself.
$LIT Perpetual contracts have no expiration date, like an unending battlefield. They give you the freedom to enter and exit at any time, while also tempting you with high leverage to amplify returns. But leverage is always a double-edged sword: when used well, it is an accelerator; when used poorly, it is a meat grinder.
Many people mistakenly believe that low leverage is safe and high leverage is dangerous. This is not the case. The difference between 30x leverage and 100x leverage is merely the distance the market allows you to react—whether it’s a few centimeters or a few millimeters. What truly determines your life or death is not the height of the leverage, but your position control and margin preparation. Using a few hundred U to leverage tens of thousands of U in position, even a slight fluctuation could force you to exit early—the most painful thing is not misjudging the direction, but being correct while getting shaken out.
Therefore, the core of trading contracts has never been about "how many times to open," but about "how to control risk." Remember these iron rules:
1. Only use isolated margin mode, never use full margin, and lock in risk within a single operation;
2. Strictly set stop-losses, do not fantasize about "holding on," as holding positions is the starting point for all liquidations;
3. Set small daily goals, for example, earn 50-100 U daily from a capital of 500 U. Don’t underestimate this; stable small wins through compound interest are the secret to top-tier returns—monthly returns of 20%-40% are already quite remarkable in financial markets.
Leverage is just a magnifying glass, amplifying not only returns but also your discipline, greed, and execution. True veterans understand: liquidation is not the fault of the market; it is the fault of the mindset; being able to control losses at 100x is far safer than being undisciplined at 5x.
Ultimately, there is no absolutely reasonable value for leverage; it only matters whether it matches your understanding and ability. In the cryptocurrency world, leverage is never the real devil—greed is.
