Brothers, let’s talk about something real.
It’s been eight years, looking back at the candlestick chart, it feels like I’m not looking at the market but rather my own history of being beaten. Today, let’s not discuss those superficial technical indicators; let’s get real and talk about how in this ruthless contract market, we can first ensure we don’t die, and then think about making money.
The initial amount I had seems like a joke now. I’ve experienced explosions and craziness, watching the numbers jump made my adrenaline spike. But if you ask me now where all those zeros in my account came from? I’ll tell you, it wasn’t from a single ‘godly bet’; it was from countless times of cutting losses.
Those who post screenshots of hundreds of times their profits every day, shouting 'Just go for it,' how many more years do you think they can keep jumping around? In this market, it's not those who haven't made money that get eliminated, but those who haven't survived.
So over the past few years, all my actions have changed. While others research how to earn more ferociously, I research how to die more slowly. I've figured out a few 'fear of death' rules that I absolutely dare not break:
First, engrave the words 'I was wrong' on your forehead.
When I first started, I was also stubborn; when the direction of the trade was wrong, I stubbornly held on, thinking, 'It can't be, it will definitely come back!' What happened? The market specializes in punishing all forms of disobedience; it can uproot your capital. Now my muscle memory tells me that once the preset defense line is broken, my hands move faster than my brain, and I close the position first. Losses are just planned losses. Acknowledging mistakes clearly outside the market is a thousand times cheaper than praying numbly inside the market.
Second, have you made money? Hurry up and 'cash out', don't talk about feelings.
The numbers jumping on the screen are called 'floating profits', they are not your money. Only what you bring into your wallet, that you can spend securely, is yours. I set a very 'unambitious' rule for myself: as soon as I finish a wave and the profit reaches a target, I immediately transfer away a large portion. It's like fighting a war; you need to constantly supply the front lines with resources, but you must also transport the treasures you seize back home. Always thinking 'let profits run' often ends with profits running away with your capital.
Third, most of the time, the only thing you should do is: watch.
The market doesn't always have answers. Most of the time, it's just there twisting and turning, fluctuating up and down. At such times, if you rush in and go for high multiples, it's like tying yourself to a mad bull that's fighting; direction? There is no direction, only internal injuries. The real opportunities are those you wait for, not those you force. When you're not sure, close the software and take a walk; your wallet and mindset will thank you.
Fourth, after getting slapped a few times, tie your hands up.
Everyone has bad luck sometimes, feeling like everything they do is wrong. At this point, it's often not the market's fault; it's your own mindset that has collapsed, causing your operations to deform. My bottom line is, if I hit a wall several times in a row, I force myself to exit. I'm not playing today; the sky won't fall. Tomorrow the sun will rise as usual, and the market will still be there, but a clear-headed you is worth more than ten impulsive yous.
In the end, playing contracts is no longer about technology, but about human nature. It's whether you can use cold, hard rules to control that wild beast inside you that always wants to take big bets.
Don't always be envious of how much others have multiplied; pay more attention to those who have silently disappeared. In this market, living longer is the greatest bragging right.
There are only a few rules, they may seem crude, but they can save your life. Let's encourage each other.
