You think you are trading contracts, but in many cases, you are just trading emotions.
The more you lose, it’s not because the market is too cruel, but because you haven't clearly seen what you are doing.
I have seen too many people blowing up accounts while continuing to open positions.
It's not that they don't understand risk, but they can't stop their hands – this is no longer a technical issue, it's an obsession.
First, don’t be deceived by the leverage numbers.
You think that 5x or 10x is low risk, but when your account only has ten thousand, yet you dare to open positions worth thirty thousand, it seems like the leverage isn’t high, but in reality, you are on the verge of blowing up with just a slight market fluctuation.
It’s not that the market wants to cut you, but you have torn your risk exposure too wide.
Second, people who make money never act recklessly.
Most of the time, they are waiting and observing, only acting when the position is right and the direction is clear.
Once they enter the market, the position size, rhythm, and stop-loss are all planned in advance.
They exit after seizing the right segment, never competing with the fluctuations.
But many people are quite the opposite:
The more they lose, the more they want to operate; the more panicked they get, the more they want to increase their positions; the more frequently they trade, the faster they lose.
You think you are trading, but in fact, you are just taking revenge on the market with your emotions.
Third, the bottom line of contracts is restraint.
When the market is good, you can resist chasing the highs; when the market is poor, you can remain steady and not chop wildly.
Keep losses within a bearable range, and only let profits run when the direction is right.
If you can achieve these two points, your account will naturally become more stable.
Fourth, contracts are not a gambling table.
Real gamblers chase highs and lows, rely on feelings to go all in, and stubbornly hold on.
Those who understand probability and maintain rhythm do not need to rely on luck.
They do not depend on so-called 'insider information,' but solely on discipline and execution.
People who go solo and charge recklessly find it hard to go far in this market.
There are opportunities to turn things around, but you need someone to help you clarify: how to control positions, how to wait for signals, how to quit emotional trading.
As long as the direction is correct and the rhythm is controllable, you will find that surviving is far more important than getting rich quickly. And when you truly stabilize, making profits will naturally follow.
