#美联储重启降息步伐 $XNY How should you really operate contracts to avoid falling into the liquidation trap?
$ZEC To be honest, when I first entered the space, I had only one thought—if others can double their money, why can't I?
$PIPPIN I only had four thousand yuan, so I went all-in, holding positions to the death. I got liquidated again and again, and each time I comforted myself, "I'll definitely make it back in the next round." But what happened? The hole just got deeper, and the losses kept piling up.
Later, I finally figured it out: it wasn't a matter of luck—I simply wasn't qualified to make that money. Using such a reckless approach, it's a miracle if you survive.
The turning point came when I stopped and reviewed my trades. When I broke down each transaction, I realized liquidation was never about bad luck; it was an inevitable outcome. No logic, no system, and the so-called "controllable risk" was just a joke.
Contracts, at their core, aren't gambling. They require rhythm, a strategy for advancing and retreating. The market isn't scary—the scariest thing is panicking yourself.
I started seriously studying Bollinger Bands. Not just glancing at them, but understanding their logic from a structural perspective—what do contractions and expansions mean, how to distinguish real from fake breakouts, how to operate on pullback confirmations. The first time I caught a 30x move with them, I didn't feel thrilled; instead, I felt grounded—so that's how it works.
But tools are just tools. No matter how good your method is, if your mindset collapses or your position sizing is chaotic, you'll get liquidated all the same.
So ask yourself a few questions: Are your trades based on logic or just a hunch? Are you executing a system or just gambling on direction? If you don't even set a stop loss, do you really want to make money or just crave the thrill?
A lot of people talk big about not admitting defeat, but in action, they leave their fate entirely to the candlestick chart. Now, I trade less frequently, but every order is clear: what's my entry reason, where's the risk, how do I set my stop loss. That's the key to surviving and making consistent profits.

It was only after hearing him say that that I realized going all-in with your entire position is really asking for trouble. He actually dared to go all-in with just 4,000 yuan.

tbh the whole "risk management" speech hits different when gwei patterns are screaming liquidation zones... dude's basically describing optimal execution timing wrapped in life lessons lol

What you said is absolutely right, it's just that too many people don't want to hear it. Going all-in feels the best, but liquidation hurts the most.

nah honestly the whole "risk management through backtesting" angle is peak copium. dude's basically saying he went from gambling with 4k to... gambling with a spreadsheet. Sharpe ratio doesn't stop liquidations lmao

What you said makes sense, but no matter how nicely you put it, it can't make up for losing money.

That's right, going all-in is really a suicidal move. I used to do it before, and now just thinking about it makes me scared.

What you said makes perfect sense, but I just want to ask—are Bollinger Bands really that effective, or is it just luck?
