When I first started trading contracts, the dumbest thing I did was to hold positions.

The first time the market reversed, I kept hoping for a "bounce if I just wait a little longer."

I stubbornly stayed awake until 3 AM, watching my margin get wiped out bit by bit, and when the liquidation message popped up, I was completely stunned.

Later I understood that the market doesn't sympathize with those who hesitate; you must decisively exit at the stop-loss point. Accepting losses is much better than stubbornly trying to maintain your position.

I also set a "circuit breaker rule": if I make five consecutive wrong trades, I stop immediately.

Last time the market was chaotic, I stubbornly pushed through, made three consecutive wrong trades and was still unconvinced, resulting in the fifth trade wiping out two weeks' worth of profits.

Since then, whenever I have five consecutive wrong trades, I close the trading software, go downstairs for a couple of laps, take a nap, and then review — with a stable mindset, I can observe the market without bias.

The numbers in the account are all virtual; I deeply resonate with this.

Now, every time I earn 3000 U, I transfer 1500 to my cold wallet.

The last time the market suddenly dropped sharply, fortunately, I had withdrawn quite a bit beforehand; otherwise, all the paper profits would have been lost.

Real winning is about securing profits, not always thinking "let's earn a little more before withdrawing"; in the end, it might just be all in vain.

I don't even touch volatile markets now; previously, I couldn't help but open three trades,

thinking the fluctuations were small, but in the end, the fees and stop-losses cost more than a one-sided trade — I got "swept" back and forth.

Now I only recognize trends: when the candlestick chart shows a clear direction, like the daily chart breaking key levels,

only then do I dare to act — this way, the profits are solid, and I won't be tossed around without patience.

Position control needs to be even stricter; at the beginning, I wanted to go all in for quick money and lost half of my principal in one go.

Now I only use 10% of my principal for each order, with a maximum of 30 U for opening positions; even if I make a mistake, it doesn't hurt, and instead, I can calmly observe the market.

Many people lose not because of poor skills, but because of excessive gambling mentality.

In fact, trading contracts is not a shortcut to wealth; surviving relies not on luck but on execution — cut losses when needed, stop when necessary, and withdraw when appropriate.

Previously, I wandered too far alone and took too many detours; I later realized this industry is too slow to explore on your own.

Now I have a verified method here, which is like paving the road; it just depends on whether you are willing to follow. @财神爷说币
