This is my first time participating in a futures trading competition, and it is still ongoing. My current ranking is around 12th place. The process has been quite interesting — at the beginning, I didn't have a deep understanding of the rules and encountered many pitfalls, such as choosing leverage multiples and setting stop-losses. These details brought one problem after another.

Fortunately, I have now figured out the tricks and identified my shortcomings. The goal for this round is to stay within the top 20. According to the current reward rules, I should be able to earn around 20,000 to 30,000 U.

Honestly, this competition has made me realize how big the gap is between me and the experts. For the next round, I plan to aim for the top 5. I heard that the total rewards for the top 5 can exceed 100,000 U. If I can make it into the top 5, it would be a huge gain. I have already started doing my homework, researching more strategies and techniques for futures trading, preparing for a spectacular comeback next time.

12th place is pretty good, but the top 5 is really the sweet spot... Just thinking about 100,000 USDT makes me a bit excited haha To be honest, I've also fallen into the trap of stop-loss strategies; leverage multiples are really a big pitfall, brother Aiming for the top 5 next time is possible, but don't get too carried away... That's just how contracts are Already followed and ready to see your comeback story Getting 20,000 to 30,000 in the top 20 is pretty good, don’t be greedy I really admire your learning attitude, I’m still exploring The things learned in the competition can’t be bought with money, I agree with that Come on, next time I’ll join too, and we’ll compete then Leverage can really mess people up... You’ve managed to stay steady at 12th place, which means you’ve already mastered the rules Top 5 is a bit challenging, conservatively, aiming for the top 15 next time is more realistic

12 people are stable, which is pretty good, much better than my first competition haha. Getting into the top 5 next time is really a dream, but contracts do have a lot of nuances, keep it up. Falling into traps is how you learn, but don't gamble your principal, okay?

12 people is okay, but that leverage trap is really deadly. So many people got wrecked because of it. Top 5? Dream on haha, it depends on luck and the market conditions. Staying steady with 20,000 to 30,000 USD is already good, don't overthink it. Next time, making it into the top five would be really impressive. It's still early. The more traps you step into, the better you'll be at avoiding them next time. Keep going, bro!

The consultation records show that leverage multiples and stop-loss are indeed high-risk areas in the early stages of complications, with clinical manifestations being account shrinkage. Your current 12th place status indicates that you have already passed the acute phase, but this competition reward design inherently carries risks—the idea of rushing into the top 5 can easily evolve into an aggressive strategy. It is recommended to regularly review your risk exposure.

12 people is pretty good, but I feel like you still need to refine your understanding of leverage. Being in the top 5 definitely comes with a lot of pressure; I've seen too many people get liquidated out of greed. This time, just take the time to summarize your experience and don't rush into it. Trading contracts is really about learning from mistakes to grow, keep it up. As for strategies, honestly, the market is the best teacher. Your goals are quite realistic, I believe in you.
