#数字资产市场动态 The high liquidation rate of contracts, why are people still entering the market continuously? To put it simply, those who get liquidated are just giving money to the ones making profits.



Your liquidation, the truth is like this——

Many people think that 5x leverage is just risky enough, but actually, you’ve calculated it wrong. The real risk leverage is not the nominal multiple, but this formula: **Real leverage = Position value ÷ Stop-loss funds**.

Sounds abstract? Let’s understand with a number. Opening a 10x position with 10,000 USDT principal, and setting a stop-loss at only 100 USDT——congratulations, your real leverage is actually 100x. That’s why some people get wiped out instantly.

What are the characteristics of the three fastest types of people to die?

**Hard holding**——Losing money but still trying to break even, getting deeper and deeper. **Love to go all-in**——Putting all their assets on one bet, acting like gamblers. **Emotional adding**——Getting excited when bullish, panicking when bearish, completely led by market emotions.

Market fluctuations can make money, but the key is to survive until that "opportunity to pick up meat" moment. During a bull market, retail traders FOMO chasing highs, you short; during a bear market, when people panic and cut losses to escape, you quietly build positions at the bottom.

How do those who consistently make money do it? **80% of the time they stay out of the market, waiting, and 20% of the time they focus on trading**. Use 5% of your position to test trades, pre-plan your stop-loss points, and only trade when the risk-reward ratio is greater than 3:1.

If you can’t control your hands and heart, you are just a "corpse" waiting to be slaughtered in others’ eyes. Contract trading ultimately isn’t about luck; it’s about patience, waiting for the other side to make mistakes.

Before trying to make big money, master the lesson of "not getting liquidated." Staying alive steadily is more important than anything else.

The formula for real leverage is something I need to memorize; it's much more misleading than the nominal multiple.

It's a mindset issue. People who stubbornly hold onto their positions should really go bankrupt; I have no sympathy.

The 80/20 rule is correct; very few people can actually execute, most still have a gambler's mentality.

Stop-loss is like a fitness plan—everyone knows it's important, but hardly anyone actually sticks to it.

A high liquidation rate is because most people simply don't understand the real risks and are still comforting themselves with nominal multiples.

Contracts are really testing how greedy you are; the greedier you are, the faster you'll get wiped out.

This theory is correct, but to be honest—less than 5% of people actually follow through; the rest will just pay their tuition fees again.

That's right, real leverage is the killer, most people haven't even calculated this part.

---

I've seen too many people hold on through the tough times, losing everything and still dreaming of a comeback, it's hilarious.

---

Waiting with 80% cash for opportunities, sounds simple but it's even harder than climbing to the sky, psychological resilience is truly a bottleneck.

---

When retail traders experience FOMO, we wait; that's the difference between making money and getting liquidated.

---

5% trial trades + stop loss, easy to say but few can actually execute.

---

If you can't control your hands and heart, then you deserve to be cut, that's just how the market is.

---

Building a position at the bottom looks great, but you have to endure the long sideways period.

---

Not getting liquidated is truly the first lesson; if you don't make it to the end, everything was in vain.

---

A risk-reward ratio of 3:1 is necessary before taking action; you must stick to this standard, otherwise it's all negative expectations.

---

People who go all-in are basically gamblers; sooner or later, they'll pay the tuition.

I've also experienced failures with the real leverage algorithm before. When 100x leverage disappeared in a second, I realized that it was just my own brain malfunctioning.

Now I just focus on that 20% chance, and the rest of the time I just relax and enjoy.

The real leverage formula hit me hard. The moment I saw 100x leverage, I had a heart attack. This is truly the real meat grinder.

Sounds right, but how many can truly hold 80% of their positions in cash? Most still have itchy fingers.
