What do you think about $MAGMA? Many people keep getting liquidated in their contracts but just can't figure out where they went wrong.

Honestly, there's only one core issue: most people aren't really playing with leverage tools, but are participating in a test of human nature.

The "5x, 10x leverage" displayed by exchanges is like a hallucinogenic drug, dazzling people. If you have $10,000 in your account, theoretically you could lose up to $500, but some still open positions worth $30,000—self-deceiving that this is manageable leverage, unaware that they are already bearing hidden risks dozens of times greater. A sudden gap in the market can lead to a forced liquidation, turning them into chips in the market maker's game.

Those who truly survive well in this market never treat contracts as a gambling table. They see it as a risk management tool. Where does the market money actually come from? It comes from the shorts left by traders whose operations are chaotic and who frequently get liquidated. The masters' rhythm is very clear—spend 70% of the time waiting for opportunities, and once the market signals clearly, they act precisely without hesitation.

What about most people? Opening positions daily, following trends, switching frequently—seems busy but ends up losing more and more. Ultimately, they are just contributing to the platform.

To survive here, remember two words: restraint.

Stay calm when others panic buy or sell in a frenzy; hold your bottom line when others greedily go all-in. Every loss must have a limit—no single loss should exceed 5% of your account; and once you spot a profit opportunity, be brave enough to let the profits run. Don’t rush to take profits and miss the market.

Some say contracts are gambling, but that’s really a description of those who don’t understand risk control and act on instinct. Truly profitable traders rely not on luck, but on disciplined execution and respect for probabilities. Blindly reckless trading will lead to a crash sooner or later. Find the right direction, find a mentor, and only then can you trade steadily.

If you want to recover losses, achieve stable returns, or catch the main upward wave in the next bull market, the key still comes down to the essence—risk management, mindset management, and rhythm management.

Basically, it's a mindset issue. I've seen too many people experience their accounts doubling and then going to zero.

To be honest, I've heard the word "restraint" many times, but the key is to have a reliable person leading; otherwise, no matter how much theory there is, it's all useless.

The phrase "restraint" is well said, but how many can truly achieve it? I've seen too many people talk about risk control with their words, but in reality, they are all-in on the hand.

You're right, I've seen through it long ago. Most people treat contracts as gambling. They get obsessed watching others double their money every day, with no risk control awareness. No wonder they get cut. The 5% stop-loss mentioned in this article is really brilliant. Strictly implementing it can indeed help you survive longer. I now spend about 70% of my time waiting, patient and calm, and I actually make more than those who are constantly trading. Contracts are really a mindset game; whoever keeps a steady mindset wins. Those guys who follow the trend every day are really contributing to the exchange. MAGMA isn't anything special; it all depends on how you play. With proper risk control, you can make money on any coin. Having a guide really makes a difference; it saves you a lot of detours. Restraint—two words, and so true. That's what people lack the most nowadays.

It's the same old story. To put it nicely, it's just telling us not to make reckless moves.

All the principles are correct, but execution is the real hell.

You're right, restraint is truly the only way out. --- Same old story, I'm tired of it, but the key is that I can't do it. --- A 5,000 yuan account opening a 30,000 position, who’s to blame? Just want to gamble. --- Wait, how about $MAGMA itself? This article just talks about human nature issues. --- Waiting for opportunities 70% of the time, I swear I spend 70% of the time losing money. --- Looking for a mentor? Ha, mentors always lead you into the ditch in the end. --- It's correct but useless, human nature is greed, and it can't be changed.
