Followed a trading expert for perpetual contracts. After investing 10,000 USDT, the price dropped directly close to liquidation😅, and the return rate fell to -80%. To be honest, I really admire this guy's skills; he has accumulated nearly a million in principal in just over a year. But his trading style is basically playing with fire—win and double down, lose and get liquidated, with no middle ground.

Seeing many people around me getting wrecked in perpetual contracts, I think it’s better to change the approach rather than keep banging my head against the same wall. Event contracts are essentially a form of gambling, but at least they have a short cycle—results are clear in 10 minutes, and wins or losses are straightforward, unlike perpetual contracts that slowly erode you over time. Recently, I tried a certain quantitative tool, and combined with the short cycle of event contracts, my win rate has improved, and the chances of doubling my position have increased. Instead of sticking to one strategy, it’s better to try different trading instruments.

Perpetual contracts are a trap I've fallen into too. Copy trading is basically handing over your life to someone else. An -80% loss is really not far from liquidation. Run quickly.

Perpetual contracts are just a game of cutting leeks. Face reality. Follow the signals, follow the signals, and in the end, you got caught. Who's to blame? See the truth in 10 minutes? Haha, you're just trying to lose money quickly. No matter how awesome the quantitative tools are, losing money can still happen just as fast. Instead of switching to different assets, ask yourself first if you have risk control awareness. High risk, high reward. Sounds great, but losing money is truly painful. After all this fuss, the core issue is still wanting to make quick money. Short-term event contract cycles are stable? Dream on.

Hmm... This guy has over a million in principal for more than a year, but judging by his fund curve, it's clearly an extremely high-risk trading approach. A drawdown of -80% indicates that leverage was stacked very aggressively, and liquidity management is virtually nonexistent. Dealing with someone like this is just gambling that his luck won't run out.

Perpetuals are really a trap; surviving with -80% is already considered good.

Perpetual contracts are a deeper pit than hell; being down 80% is considered lucky. Following trading experts is just gambling on luck; we can't play their risky game of cutting through blood. Event contracts are indeed fast, but don't fall into another trap again.

Perpetual contracts are really a trap, copying trades is useless Be cautious of following quantitative tools, don't fall into the trap again Daring to continue playing with an -80% loss shows an incredible mindset Living on the edge and risking your life will eventually catch up with you Waiting 10 minutes to see the real results doesn't sound reliable either

Perpetual contracts are really something that eats people up; even experts end up losing everything.

Perpetual contracts are really a money-eating machine; it doesn't matter who you're with, you still need to rely on your own risk management.

Perpetual contracts are really a trap; I've experienced a -80% loss too, almost breaking my mentality. But that guy managed to accumulate a million, so he's quite skilled—it's just that his approach is too extreme.

Perpetual contracts are just a machine for cutting leeks; even experts can't escape. Following the trend is a dead end, I really learned that. Seeing the truth in 10 minutes, I give it a thumbs up; at least you don't have to stare at the market all day and get exhausted. --- A million capital wiped out in one liquidation, this is the fate of perpetual contracts. Switching tracks is okay, but don't fall into the trap of event contracts again. --- Licking blood at the edge of the knife always leads to bleeding; no matter how skilled the trader, this curse can't be broken. --- Quantitative tools with short cycles? Sounds like a new trick, but as always, be careful not to get cut. --- A million a year is indeed impressive, but I want to know how much he has left now. --- This is the fate of crypto; always looking for the next "sure profit" asset.
