In this market, many people have their focus misplaced. They ask how to get rich quickly, but those who actually survive ask how not to die.
Money comes in quickly, but it leaves just as fiercely—this is a truth understood by everyone in this industry. Contracts are essentially a magnifying glass; if your direction is right, it helps you accelerate, but if your direction is wrong, it will directly wipe you out. So the real issue is not about studying how to turn things around in one go, but rather about studying how to survive long enough.
My approach is simple: I will never fire all my bullets at once. I use my funds diversely, so even if I make a wrong judgment, it's just paying tuition, not having my account go to zero directly. Most people lose and quit the circle not because of their analytical ability, but because they put all their assets on the line from the very beginning.
I never fantasize about a rebound when I'm at a loss. The market is not short of rebound opportunities; what’s lacking is whether you can hold on until that moment. If the price point is not right, exit immediately—your face is not worth much, but your account is. Relying on holding onto positions to turn things around is just a plot in a novel; in reality, you won't wait for it.
Another important habit is to stop as soon as you continuously make mistakes. This is not about giving up, but about recognizing that your state is off. When emotions are high, no matter how good the market looks, you will make operational errors. It's better to close the software, let your mind calm down for a night, and many issues will naturally become clear the next day.
The money earned won't all be kept in the account. The numbers on the screen can be reset at any time; only the money that is actually withdrawn counts. Those who have experienced great ups and downs understand that being able to sleep peacefully is much more important than earning that little extra profit.
I only take action when the market has a clear direction. When the trend emerges, high leverage is a tool; when the market fluctuates back and forth, high leverage becomes a meat grinder. If you can't tell the direction, don't act; waiting with no position is smarter than randomly gambling.
Ultimately, what matters in contract trading is not how bold you are, but who is more disciplined. When the position is light, one doesn't panic; when one doesn't panic, their hands are steady, and with steady hands, opportunities can naturally be seized. The market is always full of opportunities; what is lacking is the ability to consistently stay in the game.
The road is right there, take it slow and steady, and you'll find that there's really no need to rush to earn profits.

Really, seeing those who go all in just shakes my head. Making quick money is an illusion; staying alive is the real skill.
---
I deeply resonate with this. I lost everything once because of greed. Now I just hold a losing position, and my sleep quality has improved.
---
That's too accurate; 90% of people fail because they refuse to admit defeat.
---
I agree with waiting in a short position; it’s much smarter than blindly gambling.
---
It's a joke to think you can turn around while holding a losing position; the market has taught me this many times, yet I still have to learn.
---
The key is still discipline; without discipline, no matter how smart you are, it’s useless. That’s a bloody lesson.
---
Withdraw what you earn; the numbers on the screen are fake - that's so right.
---
Once you start losing continuously, you need to stop. Many people really can’t do this; emotions are killers.

You're right, those who went all in with their entire fortune haven't made it this far.
Really, after falling into traps three times in a row, I decided to step back and give my brain a break; otherwise, it would only get worse.
The numbers on the screen are all fake; only when you withdraw does it count as money. This realization came too late.
If you can't tell the direction, just go short; there are plenty of opportunities, so missing this wave isn't a big deal.
Having a lighter position really improves sleep quality; earning less but not feeling stressed.
Wait, are you still betting with all your funds?
Living longer is more important than getting rich quickly; this is my final takeaway.
Contracts are like a meat grinder; don't touch them if there's no trend.

To be honest, it really hurts. I used to be that kind of fool who went all in with a full position, losing three months of profits in one go. Now I realize that being alive is much more important than making quick money.
---
I completely agree with the idea of a light position; losses are just tuition fees, which is better than having nothing at all.
---
The part about stopping is well written; even I need to reflect on my recent thoughts.
---
But I just can't do it, knowing I need to diversify, my hands still shake.
---
It's the same old story again; after hearing it a thousand times, some people still go all in. Is the cost of market education really this high?
---
The part about withdrawing is incredible; how many people lose sleep staring at virtual numbers on the screen? Only when they actually withdraw can they sleep soundly.
---
Waiting with a short position is the hardest; watching the market data stir makes it hard to resist.
