#Vautla I lost 400,000 on one contract, how do I adjust my mindset??
1. First, accept the loss, don’t avoid it.
Don’t rush to recover your losses immediately, and don’t fantasize about recovering in one trade. What you need most right now is to stop and not continue to lose.
A loss of 400,000 is already a fact; carrying this emotion into your next trades will only lead you deeper into the vortex of losses.
2. Treat this 400,000 as money spent on experience.
Perhaps you used excessive leverage, went all-in with a large position, added to your position emotionally, didn’t set stop-losses, etc.
These “mistakes” were hard to accept before you lost money, but now they are etched in your mind.
You spent 400,000 to buy a lifetime of trading discipline and risk management awareness.
3. Pause your contracts and switch to “repair mode.”
• First, exit high-leverage contracts to avoid continuing to trade under emotional fluctuations;
• Try switching to a demo account or practice with small positions to regain your judgment;
• If you have other income, rely on that to stabilize your living rhythm;
• Handle the loss in stages, for instance, gradually recover over the next six months through small profits + other income, instead of going all in at once.
4. Give yourself a “turnaround plan.”
For example, if you still have 10,000 in capital, you can set a plan to “double it in six months.”
A daily target of 10% is too aggressive; switch to a low leverage, steady approach, and you can still recover while living comfortably.
