Recently, I've been talking to some friends, and the core of contract trading isn't about making a huge profit in one go, but rather stable position management.
Many people think they lose money due to bad luck, but the fundamental reason most people lose money is improper position management.
You need to understand that risk and reward are linked.
If you want to make big money, you also need to be prepared to bear risks.
However, many people start out fully invested, putting all their funds on the line, and as a result, when the market fluctuates, their accounts can drop significantly.
This is how I operate: no heavy investments, no reckless moves.
Each time I trade, I never exceed 30% of my account.
This way, even if the market goes against me, I can still survive.
Steady profits are the ultimate goal.
Additionally, before each trade, I always think of a stop-loss point; if I incur a loss, I withdraw immediately.
If stop-loss is not executed, everything goes to zero.
So don’t think you can take a gamble; "this market is never waiting for you"—if you don’t stop-loss, the market can kick you out at any time.
Then, when I make money, I don’t rush to take it all out.
Each time I profit, I at least withdraw half, and let the rest continue to grow.
This not only protects the principal but also allows profits to continue expanding.
The more you dare to invest, the more your profits can snowball.
Also, when the market is volatile, don’t rush to act.
I set a rule: if the market is unstable, I take a break.
Don’t chase prices when they rise or buy when they fall.
Wait for clear signals before acting; don’t let market fluctuations pressure you into a hasty decision.
Every time I make a trade, I record my profit and loss points and changes in mindset, and during each review, I reflect on what I did well and what I didn’t.
In reality, the money you can make isn’t much, but as long as you manage to achieve long-term stable profits, it's much better than those who become rich overnight.
Therefore, success isn't about catching one big market movement, but rather finding a rhythm that suits you, staying calm, and slowly earning.
The secret to making money in contracts lies in stable position management and disciplined execution.
You see, those accounts that always experience wild fluctuations aren't lacking opportunities; they are just acting too hastily and have lost their composure.
True winners never rely on making big money from a single trade but instead on the steady accumulation day after day.
The market will never run out of opportunities; what it lacks is people who dare to move forward steadily.
