Can’t quote it, so I’ll just paste it here.
What @一姐 said is spot on.
When I was on Bitget Space the day before yesterday,
the host asked me what advice I’d give to beginners in contract trading.
My advice is: don’t go all-in with leverage all the time.
Start small with isolated margin, like using 5% of your capital with 30x isolated margin.
That’s equivalent to 1.5x cross margin.
Even if you get liquidated, you’re only losing 5%.
Cross margin is mainly used in professional trading for hedging or mean reversion pair trading,
because the PnL from long and short positions offsets each other.
It’s not meant for gambling.
But now I see so many people loving 100x cross margin,
just trying to amplify their returns.
Honestly, this approach is no different from self-sabotage.
If exchanges really want to extend user lifespans,
they should guide users through the interface to use isolated margin as much as possible.
Especially for cross margin leverage, there should be restrictions.
Unless you’re a professional trader or institution,
using high leverage cross margin to bet on a single direction is just asking for trouble.
