Contracts can make people rich overnight, but they can also lead to instant losses.

Recently, a fan came to me and shared his experience. He worked hard in a factory for half a month, saving money by cutting back on expenses. After work, he eagerly deposited the money into Binance, thinking he could get rich overnight with high-leverage contracts. Instead, he fell into the trap set by the market makers.

For those new to the cryptocurrency world, I must remind you: don't start by playing with 10x, 20x, or even 100x leverage. As soon as the money goes in, you could face liquidation overnight, losing everything! Those who like to trade with high leverage either have a strong gambling nature, preferring to risk small amounts for big returns, or they are beginners who don't know how to operate, failing to plan their positions and ending up losing before they understand how contracts work.

When trading contracts, position management is crucial! You need to maximize your capital efficiency while avoiding risks. So how do you manage your positions? It's simple; you need to use your money flexibly. For example, if you want to open a position of 10,000 U, you can open 1,000 U at 10x leverage or 500 U at 20x leverage. But remember, always set a stop-loss, around 1%-3% is fine. This way, you use 10% of your funds to aim for 100% returns, while losses remain within your acceptable range.

However, if you directly use 10,000 U at 10x or 20x leverage, even a slight market fluctuation could wipe you out. You have no margin for error or trial-and-error capital, making it easy to lose everything. At that point, your mindset will be distorted.

Therefore, using high leverage to borrow multiple times your principal for speculative activities often leads to liquidation, while making money is rare. If you want to trade contracts, you must first understand the basics, such as leverage ratios and funding rates. Blindly operating without any understanding will only lead to liquidation, and then you'll blame the tool for harming you. So! Newcomers must plan their positions wisely!
