What’s the biggest fear when trading contracts? Liquidation. But risk and reward are twins by nature—it all comes down to how well you can dance on the knife’s edge.

Let’s talk about position sizing first. Some people like to go all-in with 10x leverage, but remember: never lose more than 5% of your principal on a single trade. Want to play it safe? Start with 2x leverage and diversify with several different assets to spread the risk. The old saying “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” may be cliché, but it works.

How to set stop-losses? That depends on your risk appetite. Aggressive traders cut losses at a 1% move—quick to admit defeat; conservative players allow a 5% buffer, since market whipsaws are normal and you don’t want to get shaken out by a fake-out. Take-profits work the same way—either go for a big 50% win in one shot, or lock in a portion every 10% move up. The former bets on luck, the latter banks on certainty.

You need to know how to use hedging tools. Options, with their non-linear payoffs, are for the pros—they let you risk a little for big gains; beginners should stick to using futures to hedge spot positions, which is clunky but reliable. Market analysis comes in two flavors: technical traders watch candlesticks for short-term moves, sometimes opening a dozen positions a day; fundamentals-driven folks study projects and ride trends, holding for months.

Capital management is another hurdle. You can throw money at high-volatility coins for a big gamble, but set a cap; or stick to strict discipline and never put more than 10% of your total funds in a single trade. Emotions are even trickier—daring traders buy the dip during market panic, but for most people, sticking to the plan is safer, since chasing pumps and dumps usually ends in losses.

The frequency of reviewing trades also matters. Day traders need to watch the market and review tactics daily, adjusting quickly; long-term investors can check once a week and optimize slowly. As for tools, quant bots can run high-frequency strategies, but risk monitoring software is more practical—liquidation alerts can be lifesavers.

Learning never ends. Some people are always testing new models and iterating fast to catch opportunities; others stick to classic theory books and use time-tested methods for their core positions. Both approaches work—the key is to never stop improving.

In the end, avoiding liquidation is about balancing discipline and adaptability. Experienced traders can afford to be aggressive within their control limits; beginners should focus on protecting their capital. The market is always changing, so your strategy should evolve too—too aggressive and you’ll blow up, too conservative and you won’t make money. Find your own rhythm, and that’s how you survive in this game.

That's right, but I still think that most people simply can't achieve discipline.

That's right, but I think most people still get harvested by emotions.

10x leverage feels great, but one liquidation and you're back to square one. That's spot on.

10x leverage is indeed thrilling, but liquidation is even more exciting.
