#数字资产市场动态 When it comes to trading contracts, honestly, relying on luck alone won't get you very far. Spending some time to read through these might help you save a lot of unnecessary money.



$RIVER The same goes for these kinds of coins. When entering, you always feel like you're on the right track, but as soon as you sell to cut losses, the price surges, and your account keeps shrinking. Sometimes it's not that you're wrong about the direction, but that your costs are slowly killing you.

Contracts are not about buying coins; you're participating in a zero-sum game. The rules of the exchange are like an arena—you earn from others' losses, and the money you lose is real. Many people don't care about funding rates, thinking those fees are negligible, but a sustained positive funding rate sends a signal: the bulls are already crowded. When you rush in, the probability of the market turning against you increases, and that's when you'll get caught.

Leverage follows the same logic. It not only amplifies profits but also magnifies fees, funding costs, spreads, and liquidation risks. These costs pile up, and before the market even makes a big move, you're already close to liquidation price. When calculating, don't naively think "10x leverage = 10% volatility space"; the liquidation price has already accounted for all details, leaving you very little room to maneuver.

The easiest way to get wrecked is by rolling over positions. Using unrealized profits from the previous trade to go all-in again looks aggressive, but in reality, there's no way out. Once the market turns, both profits and principal disappear together. Rolling over can be played, but you should first lock in gains—staying alive is much more important than doubling your money.

Don't always complain about being "sniped." The market doesn't know you; it's you who has taken the wrong position. I'm not a master, just someone who has stepped on pitfalls, blown accounts, and still continues to stay in this market. To last longer in contracts, don't focus on getting rich overnight. First, understand the rules thoroughly, calculate costs clearly, and keep your risk boundaries intact. Only then can you go far.
