People who rush into the contract market with just a few thousand yuan—nine out of ten won’t survive a week.



Liquidation, wiping out their account, deleting the app—I know this process all too well, because I’ve been through it myself. Back then, I entered the market with 8,000 yuan and almost ruined myself. But now? I can consistently make profits.

Why? Because I finally understood a truth: in this market, liquidation is never an accident—it’s the inevitable outcome.

You use 20x, 50x leverage? That’s not bravery, that’s giving away your money. Risk isn’t as simple as multiplication—it explodes exponentially. Get in and out frequently? Fees are like a slow poison, eating away your capital bite by bite. The scariest is that “all-in for a comeback” mindset—usually, it’s that one trade that sends you back to square one.

Do you know what losing 90% means? It means you have to make back 9 times your remaining capital just to break even. Nine times, man—that’s hell mode.

People with a gambler’s mentality won’t last long in this market. The ones who can laugh in the end rely on a system and knowledge.

Take the BOLL indicator, for example—I’ve used it to catch many turning points in different cycles, entering when I should, exiting when it’s time to run. There was one trend where I made 30 times my money in a single month.

But how do you read the “mouth opening”?

It's the narrative of "I'm eating meat steadily now", I've heard too much... --- That's right, but there are a few that can really be done, and most of them can't quit because they are greedy --- BOLL indicator increased by 30 times? I've heard this too many times, and where are these people now? --- Stud's order went directly back to before liberation, and a friend of mine was like this... I cried miserably that day when I deleted the software --- The gambler's mentality is indeed cancer, but to be honest, there are not many people who are systematic --- I have calculated this math problem countless times, and I am even more desperate after calculating it --- The problem is that knowing these principles and being able to really implement them are two different things, who doesn't know that they can't stud --- Now those who can eat meat stably are either early entry, or survivor bias is talking

Going all-in is really a poison; I've seen too many people like this. With a gambler's mentality, you'll have to pay the price sooner or later—nobody escapes it. HandsFast, that's the only rule for survival. You're absolutely right. Nine times the return? I've done the math, you won't live to see that day. I use BOLL too, but honestly, most people don't use it well; they just want to gamble. Can't survive a week? I think it's hard to last even a day; this market is too brutal. Actually, it all comes down to one thing: without a system, you'll die, and there's no one else to blame. Frequent trading really does lose to fees; that's a painful truth. I just want to ask, is that 30x really stably repeatable? Leverage is a trap; saying it one more time is not too much.

The idea of going all-in to turn things around is truly poisonous. I've seen too many guys lose everything in one go.

90% of people get liquidated within a week, that’s exactly what happened to my buddy. He’s still stuck in a cycle of uninstalling and reinstalling apps.

To be honest, the part about 9x returns really hit me—I’m exactly the kind of person who regrets losing 90%. --- The idea of going all-in to recover losses is truly crazy. Every time I think I can make it back with this one trade, I just end up digging myself deeper. --- BOLL indicator, 30x in a month? How come I never get that kind of result—maybe I’m just too greedy with my trades. --- Frequent in-and-out trading really adds up. I’ve never even calculated how much of my principal has been quietly eaten away by fees. --- You’re right about 20x or 50x leverage—it’s just playing with fire. It’s only a matter of time before you get burned. --- Now I finally get it: this market is 99% mindset, only 1% is about skill. --- That part about deleting the app is so real, haha. I’ve deleted it more than once, and every time I swear I’ll never watch the market again. --- Very few people can consistently make profits—most are still stuck in the gambler phase.

The number "ninefold return" makes my scalp tingle—it's just too real.
