#ARPA/USDT Why do you always blow your account when trading contracts?

Clearly following the 'Master Strategy', yet losing all your capital time and again.

To put it bluntly:

#dusk It's not that you're unlucky, but rather that 90% of blowouts were already determined the moment you placed the order.

I've seen too many newcomers fall into the same 5 traps.

1. Leverage too high, die too quickly

The most fatal illusion for beginners: doubling your money.

Full account + 100x, 200x leverage, if the market reverses by just 1%-2%, your account goes to zero.

A simple comparison:

5x leverage can withstand a 20% fluctuation, survive longer;

10x leverage, 10% fluctuation, starts to get dangerous;

Above 50x, just a 2% move can take you out.

Remember this: survive first, then you qualify to make money.

Beginners should stick to 5-10x.

2. No stop-loss, stubbornly hold until death

"Just wait a bit longer, it will definitely come back."

"I've already lost half, cutting now hurts too much."

The result is always the same:

From a 30% loss, to a 50% loss, then to a 100% loss.

The correct approach is very simple:

Set a stop-loss when opening a position (3%-5%);

Once profitable, move the stop-loss to lock in profits.

3. Full margin bet, zero out in one go

"Opportunities are rare, go all in!"

"Just this one bet, win and I'm done."

This is the most classic way to die in contracts.

Remember the position formula:

Single position ≤ Capital × 2% ÷ Leverage

For a capital of 10,000 USDT, with 10x leverage, the maximum for one trade is 200 USDT.

Never let a single trade determine your life or death.

4. Emotional trading, chasing highs and cutting losses

Missing out on a surge, buying at highs;

Panic selling during a crash, only to see a rebound right after.

The data is harsh:

Over 80% of blowouts occur during emotional breakdowns.

The solution is simple:

Plan ahead, execute mechanically;

Avoid staying up late, avoid staring at the market.

5. Not understanding the exchange, dying from 'spike'

Instantly triggering stop-losses, then immediately reversing;

Extreme market conditions causing slippage, directly losing a few points.

The strategy is very realistic:

Choose a stable exchange;

Major events, extreme conditions, avoid contracts.

Finally, I'll leave you with this:

The abyss is always there, the market harvests the same batch of people from different emotions.

Light, I will only light one lamp. Whether you can reach the shore,

The decision is in your hands.
