#BinanceABCs The most common mistake made by crypto trading beginners always happens in the same place.
Many people's first reaction when entering the market is not to systematically learn risk management, but to rush to solve an "urgent" problem: with my initial capital, how can I turn things around without leverage?
So piling on large positions with high leverage becomes the fastest way to pay tuition. It's not just that you might lose—you're definitely going to lose; it's just a matter of time.
**Leverage never amplifies profits**
This is the biggest misconception.
People think: leverage = profit amplification. But in reality, leverage always amplifies volatility. And the most common market condition is not a one-sided trend, but repeated oscillations and liquidity sweeps.
The most ironic scenario then occurs: you see the right direction, your trend judgment is correct, but you never live to see the market truly unfold. Stop-losses are swept away, positions are forcibly liquidated—not a technical issue, but a flawed position structure from the start.
**What kind of users do exchanges like most?**
Not those who make money, but these four types: those who love full positions, those who love high leverage, those who trade frequently, and those who hold large orders.
From the exchange's perspective, what do these users mean? Stop-loss orders = liquidity, liquidation = counterparty, transaction fees = stable cash flow. You think you're fighting for a big win, but in fact, you're just fueling the market.
**Who are the ones who can truly survive?**
Light positions—avoiding a fatal blow that can't be recovered from. Low or no leverage—able to withstand market fluctuations. Prioritize "staying alive." View certainty as more important than odds.
It's not that they don't want to make big money, but they understand a simple truth: opportunities always outnumber capital. As long as you're in the market, the next wave of行情 will always come.
If you're still calculating how to turn things around with one or two heavy positions, or thinking of solving life problems with 20x, 50x leverage, you're not trading—you’re accelerating your exit.
**The most realistic statement**
If you've already started trading, choosing a platform with transparent fees and reasonable rates is the most basic and crucial first step. Low fees can directly reduce your trading costs, and the advantage accumulated over long-term operation is often seriously underestimated.

Honestly, I've seen too many beginners get wiped out like this. 50x leverage is really a suicidal trade.

Seeing the right direction and still dying, just because the position structure is garbage, so ironic

Damn, they're talking about me. The 20x leverage is gone in two weeks. Now I realize I was just giving money to the exchange...

Honestly, the 50x leverage setup is really just working for the exchanges...

It's the same old story, but the truth is, living really is more important than anything else.
