Newcomers must read: Don't treat contracts as a casino! Going all in will lead to a margin call; trading with a plan is the path to long-term profits!
The deadliest misconception in contract trading is treating 'speculation' as 'betting on size'! How many people rush into the market with the fantasy of 'going all in for double returns', only to be harvested by high leverage and emotional trading, with the outcome of a margin call already predetermined.
It's important to know that speculation ≠ gambling. True contract speculation is 'making money with rules and probabilities', while gambling is 'betting on unknown outcomes based on luck'. The core difference between the two lies in whether you have a 'plan for your trade and trade your plan'.
You can recall those margin call operations: Did you impulsively chase the market when it surged? Did you want to increase your position to recover losses when you lost money? Did you never set a stop loss, always holding onto the luck that 'the market will rebound'? These are all unplanned gambling behaviors, and in the highly volatile contract market, one mistake is enough to leave you with nothing.
