#Strategy加仓BTC Contract trading has two fates: rise or fall, with no gray area in between.
I've seen too many stories: entering the market with just a few thousand bucks dreaming of "tenfold monthly income," only to be ruthlessly liquidated after a small pullback. They blame bad luck or market traps, but in reality? Cognition is the biggest enemy.
I've walked this bloody path myself. During the small capital phase, I traded like a gambler—staying up late monitoring the charts, emotional rollercoaster, and crashing completely at the slightest bad news. Back then, I didn't understand what systematic trading was; I only relied on intuition to place orders. The final result? Two words: margin call.
Where was the turning point? I started to face the true nature of leverage.
3x, 5x leverage sounds safe, but in reality, it just pushes the loss timeline further. The higher the leverage, the faster your account blood flows—slippage, fees, market volatility all take a bite. Your principal is slowly drained through "chronic bleeding." Even more heartbreaking is this math problem: a 50% drop requires doubling to break even, but what about a 90% drop? You need to multiply by 9. Adding positions and reinvesting isn't a secret to turning the tide; it's just pushing yourself toward zero.
Later, I built a trading framework that can truly survive. Using the BOLL indicator to catch trend initiation signals, strictly following entry and exit rules, not chasing after gains, and cutting losses without hesitation—locking all emotions in a "black box," letting only data and discipline speak. $DASH Trading contracts for these kinds of coins is the same; without systematic protection, gambling instincts will swallow rationality.
Ultimately, if you're still gambling with luck now, don't blame the market for not giving opportunities. Those who can go far in this market are rarely lone wolves working blindly. Clear direction, proper rhythm, and having like-minded people around to motivate each other—that's the iron law to last until the end.

Drop 90% and then multiply by 9? This math problem makes my scalp tingle. Surely no one can figure this out, right?

Losing so much that you doubt life itself is when you realize what systematic trading really is—it's a painful lesson, brother.

It sounds like you're talking about my blood, sweat, and tears. I've had enough of the leverage game already.

Honestly, that math problem where you need to multiply by 9 to recover from a 90% drop always hits hard every time I see it.
