Last night I reviewed a trade: entered with 80,000 USDT and exited with 136,000 USDT. It wasn’t luck—I held back for 7 hours before making a move.

Where do most people lose money? They don’t understand leverage. With a 10,000 USDT account, opening a 30,000 USDT position, the platform says it’s 10x leverage, but you’re actually using 30x. A slight market fluctuation and you’re liquidated—that’s not trading, that’s running naked and handing over your money.

Why was I able to hold onto that trade? Because I didn’t rush in blindly. I waited a full 7 hours, focusing on just three things: market sentiment bias, the current price level, and chip concentration. Only when all three indicators lined up did I make a move. After entering, I didn’t mess around—I let the market do its thing and the profits naturally followed.

With contracts, it’s never about having the biggest guts. It’s about discipline, timing, and controlling probability. The chips left behind by those who get liquidated end up in the hands of those who know the rules.

To put it simply, the logic of making money is this: don’t chase pumps or panic sell, don’t follow the crowd blindly. Wait for the right moment and enter with precision—leave the rest to the market. If you manage your position sizing well, liquidation basically won’t concern you.

Before your next entry, ask yourself three questions: What’s the market sentiment? Where is the price? How are the main chips distributed? Once you’ve thought these through, it’s never too late to make a move.
