Holding a single position is not suitable for trading contracts; the aversion to losses is essentially a lack of confidence in one's own ability to make money.

The owner was previously a steadfast short position in the air, starting from 88,000 in April, increasing the position to 104,600 for over half a year. This time, initially having a short position at 110,000, it rose to over 116,000. After a pullback to break even, I opened a long position at 110,000, aiming for a quick gain of 1,000 points, but unexpectedly got trapped. Every time I play, my mindset changes, and I end up trading based on emotions, not setting stop losses and resisting the market. I could have exited with an 800 loss when the price pulled back to 106,800, thinking it would rise again. Reluctant to cut losses, I now find myself trapped. A couple of days ago at 91,500, I suggested opening a hedge position; I placed an order at 92,000 that didn’t trigger. Last night, I opened a short position at 82,000, which dropped to 80,600 without closing, and then rose to 85,000, locking me in. Today, I opened a 2,000 U.S. dollar short position at 84,500 and set a stop loss at 84,100, which I closed out. Countless times I thought about opening a 2,000 U.S. dollar position, thinking it could rise back about 2,000 points, but I’m afraid to gamble. It’s too painful; I can only resist. I feel like I’m a hopeless retail trader. I reflected on myself over these past two days; I always like to watch the market closely, and when I open a position, if it moves one or two thousand points, I start to panic. I don’t set take profits or stop losses, and then when I break even, I start to open positions in the opposite direction, completely controlled by my emotions. I’ve been playing like this for so long without making a profit, always being trapped and continuously losing.
