Contracts are like a double-edged sword—either helping you turn things around or cutting you to pieces.

Over the years, I've seen too many people start with just a few thousand yuan, dreaming of changing their lives in a week. But what happened? Consecutive liquidations became commonplace, and in the end, they blamed the entire market on a gamble. I've also fallen into this trap myself.

With 8,000 yuan in capital, I used to watch the charts until dawn every night. Seeing my positions lose money made my hands tremble, almost swept away by a sudden market move. The reason I survived wasn't luck, but finally understanding a hard truth—

Liquidation is never a sudden event; it’s the inevitable result of accumulated misconceptions.

Do you think opening a 3x or 5x leverage is safe? It’s just a slow death in disguise. Every time you increase leverage, risk doesn’t just add up linearly; it grows exponentially. Fees, slippage, frequent trading—these invisible costs are eating away at your principal.

The most painful trap is this: losing 50% of your funds requires doubling your capital to break even, but losing 90% means you need to multiply your capital by 9 to recover. Too many people get stuck in this cycle—reinvest, get liquidated, reinvest again—until their accounts are completely wiped out.

The key is to find the right method and build a complete system. To truly stabilize and let your profits snowball, you need to master one tool—the BOLL indicator. Don’t bother with fancy golden cross or death cross theories; just focus on the signals given by its "opening" and "closing" gaps. You can see the trend direction early before it even starts. When used correctly, this logic can make a 30x monthly return a reality.

This isn’t a story of luck bestowed by the heavens; it’s the result of strictly following ironclad rules. I never trade based on feelings. Every trade is executed according to system signals: when it’s time to enter, I do so decisively; when it’s time to cut losses, I do so ruthlessly—completely cutting emotional influence from decision-making, letting the rules make money for you.

If you’re still trading emotionally, repeatedly getting liquidated, and see no way out, don’t blame the market for being unfair. What you lack is a systematic plan that can help you survive in this market. Stop forcing it.

Really, leverage is just a trap; most people get in and can't get out. Liquidation isn't sudden; it's just a step-by-step self-destructive process. Talking about a 30x monthly return? I have to question that... It feels like the most dangerous thing in trading is that you can't even shake when you're losing money. A 50% loss needs to be doubled to break even, that sounds hopeless. BOLL bands do make sense, but they’re not万能. Too many people have their accounts wiped out; don’t take isolated cases as the norm. Mindset is the most critical; without the right mindset, all indicators are useless. Systematization is important, but with the market so complex, can you really rely on a set of rules to make a living? Leverage is a double-edged sword, that’s true; when the blade points at yourself, no one can escape.

To be honest, the claim of "monthly increase of 30 times" is a bit exaggerated. In terms of data, strategies that can be consistently reproduced have long been crushed by quantitative teams.

Haha, that's right. Leverage is a trap; it's easy to get in but hard to get out. Really, I've seen too many people invest a few thousand yuan dreaming of getting rich overnight, only to lose their principal in the end. The feeling of a margin call, my hands are trembling—I’ve been through it too. The most deadly thing about trading is that relying on luck won't last long. BOLL bands are indeed effective; catching the bottom and selling at the top are all very clear. The key is to have a system; random operations will only lead to faster death. Risk management is so important; I almost got wiped out by a market move. Leverage of 3x or 5x sounds safe but is actually suicidal; only after losing in a geometric series do you realize how regretful you are. Talking about monthly income increasing 30 times—just forget it; being grounded is the most reliable. Reinvesting in a cycle is a dead end; knowing you're losing but still continuing, account zeroing is only a matter of time.
