If you must trade contracts, these words must be etched in your mind. This is not just a motivational speech; it's a lifeline. #4
Trading contracts is essentially about risking a little to gain a lot.
Losing money is not shameful; everyone has lost before. What truly makes the difference is how you respond after a loss.
I've seen two types of people:
One type panics after a stop loss, frantically opens new positions, hoping to win back immediately;
The other type stops trading after a loss, drinks water, smokes, and closes the software.
You can guess the outcome — the ones who survive are always the second type.
When facing consecutive losses, there is only one correct action: stop.
It’s not that you are slow; the market simply isn't suitable for you.
Trading is not a shortcut to instant wealth.
The more anxious you are, the more the market loves to teach you a lesson.
When losing, don't think about doubling down, don't over-leverage, don't go all in,
Contracts are specifically designed to deal with all kinds of disobedience.
Trends are truly more important than you think.
When a one-sided market emerges, just follow it honestly.
Don't always think about "buying the top or selling the bottom",
Counter-trend trades are 99% just giving money to the market.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced trader,
As long as you go against the trend, the market will treat you equally harshly.
You must calculate your risk-reward ratio.
I generally don't bother looking at trades without a 2:1 ratio.
You can have a low win rate, but you can't consistently lose big while making small profits,
Otherwise, your account will eventually be wiped out.
And one more thing that beginners must take to heart:
Frequent trading is a major taboo in contracts.
Opportunities do not increase just because you open more trades,
The truly profitable trades might only happen once or twice a day.
Remember this underlying logic:
Only earn money within your understanding.
If you can't understand the market, it's better to miss out.
Let me emphasize again:
Do not hold onto losing trades.
Holding onto trades is not faith; it’s a descent into the abyss.
Especially for new traders,
Not stopping a loss just once could lead to irreversible consequences.
When you are profitable, don’t get carried away.
Once you do, your next trade will surely lose,
This is a "hidden rule" of the market.
I don’t tell myths, nor do I paint big dreams.
