The truth learned from liquidation: Contract traders who don't cut losses are destined to become the ATM for the market maker!


Why do 90% of contract traders end up losing everything? Because they don't cut losses. Today, a fellow crypto enthusiast got liquidated, so I’ll take this opportunity to share some experience.
Lessons from blood:
Holding a position once might keep you alive, holding ten times will definitely get you killed.
All liquidations start from "wait a bit longer."
Loss-cutting techniques (life-saving version):
1️⃣ 3-Second Stop-Loss Method (Must-learn for beginners)
Set a stop-loss within a few seconds after opening a position.
Stop-loss percentage = reciprocal of leverage (20x leverage → 5% stop-loss)
2️⃣ Dynamic Stop-Loss Technique (Advanced must-know)
Floating profit of 5% — move stop-loss up to cost basis
Floating profit of 10% — move stop-loss up to 5% profit
Floating profit of 20% — move stop-loss up to 15% profit
(Absolutely do not give back the profit)
3️⃣ Emotional Stop-Loss (Psychological control)
Three consecutive losses — close the app and go exercise
Euphoria from profits — withdraw 50% immediately
