When I first started trading contracts, like most people, I frantically researched various indicators, stayed up late watching the market, trying to catch every fluctuation. My candlestick chart was filled with trend lines, Fibonacci, MACD, RSI... But the result? My account kept shrinking, and my mindset became increasingly unstable.

Until one day, I lost all of my fifth account.

At that moment, I realized: I had been trading the wrong way.

1. Why do most people get liquidated?

It's not because they're not smart enough, but because they're always doing these three things:

Frequent trading — always trying to catch every fluctuation, resulting in profits eaten away by fees and slippage. Emotional averaging down — unwilling to accept losses, frantically adding to losing positions, leading to liquidation. No stop-loss — always fantasizing that the market will come back, resulting in increasing losses.

I used to be like this until I completely changed my strategy.

2. My turning point in trading: only take "high win-rate opportunities"

I set three iron rules for myself:

Only trade at key positions — no guessing tops or bottoms, only take breakouts or pullbacks after trend confirmation. Only add to winning positions — don't average down losses, only let profits run. Always set stop-loss in advance — single trade losses should not exceed 2% of the capital.

It sounds simple, but it's hard to execute. Because the market will constantly tempt you to break the rules.

3. The key from 5000U to 100,000U:

I no longer pursue "making money every day" but wait for truly high-probability opportunities.

80% of the time, I stay out of the market, just observing. 20% of the time, I act, only entering when the clearest signals appear. After making a profit, protect the capital, never let greed cause profits to be given back.

This way, my account started to grow steadily.

4. Trading is not gambling, but a game of probabilities

Many people treat contracts as "gambling", but true traders understand:

The market doesn't give you opportunities every day; learning to wait is the highest-level strategy. Losses are part of trading; the key is how to control them. The power of compounding — small gains + minimal losses = long-term profit.

If you're still struggling in the liquidation cycle, try this change:

Reduce trading frequency — strictly enforce stop-loss — don't let small losses turn into big losses. Let profits run — when in profit, don't rush to exit; the market rewards those who are patient.

In the past, I stumbled around in the dark; now the light is in my hands.

The light is always on, will you follow? @币来财888
