Contract Liquidation Again and Again?

It's not bad luck, you just don't understand the rules of the game
After 8 years trading contracts, I figured something out:
Liquidation can actually be calculated
First, don't fear high leverage, fear heavy positions
You use 100x leverage, but only risk 1% of your capital, the actual risk is basically the same as buying that amount in spot
How to calculate real risk?
Leverage multiplier times your position ratio
That's it
Second, stop loss isn't a loss, it's insurance for your account
When the market crashed last year, 70-80% of liquidated traders were down 5% but refused to exit
Veterans all follow one rule: never lose more than 2% of capital in a single trade
Third, calculate position size before you trade
Simple formula: maximum capital you can risk = (Capital × 2%) ÷ (Stop loss ratio × Leverage)
For example, $50k capital, max 2% loss, 10x leverage, then max $5k per trade
Once you calculate it, you'll feel confident
Fourth, take profits in three steps, don't be greedy
Sell one-third at 20% profit, another third at 50% profit, sell everything if the rest breaks the 5-day line
Someone actually turned $50k into $1M using this method last year
Fifth, spend a little to buy insurance
When you have open positions, use 1% of capital to buy put options as insurance
That unexpected crash last year, this saved over 20% of the capital
Whether trading makes money can actually be calculated:
(Win rate × average win) - (Loss rate × average loss)
If you lose max 2% per trade and take 20% profits when you win, even with only 30%+ win rate, you'll still make money
Finally, remember these iron rules:
Single loss never exceeds 2% of capital, max 20 trades per year, profits must be 3x losses, stay flat 70% of the time waiting for good opportunities
Don't trade on emotion, follow the rules, that's the key to consistent profits$BTC
