Don't remind me again today

Among ten people who trade contracts, nine of them believe they can seize that wave of wealth – but what’s the result?



Most people don't even understand how they died.

Contracts are not about luck; they are about whether you understand the rules. Let's skip the fluff today and get straight to the point.

**First Layer of Cognition: Funding Rates Speak Louder Than Candlesticks**

Many people focus on the intraday charts and shake their legs, yet they never look at the funding rates—this is the most genuine emotional indicator.

Is the rate positive? It means the bulls are paying the bears, and the market has gone crazy. If you rush in to take over at this time, it's basically like sending your head to the guillotine.

Negative rates? Short sellers are subsidizing long positions, indicating that the sell-off is not over yet, so don't rush to buy the dip.

Follow the rates, and you can at least avoid half of the traps. This is not technical analysis; this is human nature analysis.

**Second Layer Tool: Leverage is a double-edged sword, don't use it like a rocket**

Some people start with 20x leverage right away, thinking that this is the only way to make it exciting —

The stimulation is enough, and the liquidation is fast enough.

Leverage doesn't make you soar higher; it makes your falls more painful. Doubling your gains feels great, but doubling your losses hurts, and often you lose faster than you earn.

Newbie? Honestly, using 3 to 5 times is enough. Anything above 10 times is a battlefield for professional players, not a place for you to test your luck.

Remember: Being alive is ten thousand times more important than making quick money.

**Third Layer Execution: Three Actions Decide Life and Death**

**Action 1: Understand the direction before taking action**

Don't focus on the one-minute chart fluctuations; first switch to the daily chart to see the overall trend:

Is the moving average arrangement bullish or bearish? Where is the strength of the MACD?

The trend is clear, look for opportunities; if the trend is unclear? Then just take a break.

When it's unclear and you force it, that's not called bravery, it's called giving away money.

**Action Two: Find a Logical Entry Point**

What does it mean to have logic?

The four-hour level retraces to the middle band of the Bollinger Bands + RSI turning upwards; or a significant increase in trading volume breaks through a key structure.

Only these "justifiable" positions are worth your entry. Impulsive trading? That's gambling, not trading.

**Action Three: The stop-loss must be set before placing the order**

Before opening a position, ask yourself: at what loss will I exit?

When the time comes, cut it off. Don’t get sentimental, don’t look for excuses. Liquidation doesn’t happen suddenly; it’s the result of every time you say "just wait a bit longer."

As for taking profits - run away once you've made money, even if it's only 10%.

The market always has the next wave, but if profits are not taken, they will never be yours.

**The last iron rule: position control determines how long you can survive**

Contracts are not about who is bolder, but about who survives longer.

You can use a maximum of 30% of the principal for a single variety; exceeding this amount is self-destructive.

Only a light position can withstand fluctuations; a heavy position can wipe out your capital in one wave.

The market is always there, opportunities are always available, but the principal is only once.

Maintain your position and stay calm; only then can you survive in this market until the end.

Understanding the funding rate is half the battle; unfortunately, most people can't grasp it. Using ten times leverage is just gambling; I've seen too many chosen ones lose it all in two weeks. Stop loss sounds easy to talk about, but it's incredibly difficult to implement; every time I think to wait a little longer, it ends up like this. Position control can be said a thousand times, yet some people still insist on betting their entire fortune; they deserve it. The funding rate never lies; the key is whether you dare to go against human nature in your operations. Running away after making ten points sounds cowardly, but just staying alive means you've already beaten ninety other people. I just want to ask why there are still people losing with this theory; do they really not observe the funding rate or do they see it but not believe it? The biggest bug in the contract market is actually human nature; technology is secondary. Light position for long term; this statement holds true, but it is indeed hard to stick to.

I have been keeping an eye on the funding rate, but to be honest, most people still get carried away when they see a positive funding rate. --- Those with 20x leverage are probably all dead, not many are left alive. --- Stop loss is really difficult; when the time comes, you still want to wait a bit longer, and then it’s gone. --- Position control is the real rule for survival; everything else is just superficial. --- The funding rate is more real than any technical analysis, but unfortunately, no one listens. --- Playing honestly with 3-5x leverage allows you to live longer than chasing excitement. --- Those who only look at the intraday charts, nine out of ten should have been liquidated by now. --- When the trend is unclear, just take a break; this sounds simple but is hard to do, greed kills. --- I feel like during that surge late at night, many rushed in, and once the funding rate turned positive, they should have run. --- Run at 10%; it takes a long time to cultivate this mindset. --- Contracts are about lasting longer, not about who makes money faster; once you understand this, fewer people will die.

The discussion about the fees is absolutely spot on. After watching so many contract tutorials, this one is the only one that doesn't beat around the bush. Where are the 20x leverage players now? Out of 10, 9 really get liquidated, and the remaining one hasn't made much profit either. Position control is truly a matter of life and death; I lost 30% in one go before. Staying alive is the most important thing; I've had to hear that a thousand times before I believed it.

I have to admit regarding the funding rate, I really didn't pay attention before... Now looking back at those losing orders, the rates were just too high --- 20x leverage haha, that guy next to me is just like this, blowing up so quickly --- Setting the stop loss right is good, but when my hands are itchy, I still change it... --- What you said makes sense, staying alive is the most important, making money is secondary --- Bollinger middle band plus RSI, this logic is indeed more reliable, much better than guessing blindly --- 30% for a single variety, that ratio is quite painful, I often exceed --- "Wait a little longer" really hits home, how many people have gone bankrupt just because of these two words --- Light Position really can last longer, I've experienced it --- I was still buying the dip when the funding rate was negative... a bloody lesson --- Anything above 10x is looking for death, I believe it now

The fee aspect is indeed overlooked by most people. I used to only look at Candlesticks, and it was only after suffering losses that I understood. Are people with 20x leverage still alive? Haha, I definitely don't dare to touch it. I support the idea of running away at 10%, don't wait until the door is knocked down. Getting Liquidated has never been an instantaneous event; it's always self-inflicted. Position is truly a matter of life and death. I now strictly control it within 20%, and my mindset is indeed much more comfortable. This article is well-written, but too many people know it yet can't implement it. To integrate knowledge and action is too difficult.
