When I first started trading contracts, like most people, I studied various indicators obsessively, stayed up late watching the market, trying to catch every fluctuation. My candlestick charts were filled with trend lines, Fibonacci, MACD, RSI... But what was the result? My account kept shrinking, and my mindset deteriorated.

Until one day, I lost the fifth account.

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

1. Why do most people get liquidated?

It's not because they aren't smart enough, but because they always do these three things:

Frequent trading—always trying to catch every fluctuation, resulting in profits eaten away by fees and slippage.

Emotional averaging down—after losses, unwilling to accept it, frantically averaging down, ultimately leading to liquidation.

Not setting stop losses—always fantasizing that the market will come back, resulting in greater 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 strict rules for myself:

Only trade at key levels—no guessing tops or bottoms, only take breakouts or pullbacks after confirming trends. Add to positions only on unrealized profits—don't average down losses, just let profits run. Always set stop losses in advance—individual losses should not exceed 2% of 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 take action, only entering when the clearest signals appear. Protect the principal after profits, never let greed cause profits to evaporate.

This way, my account began to grow steadily.

4. Trading is not gambling; it is a probability game.

Many people treat contracts as a "betting game," but real traders understand:

The market does not give you opportunities every day; learning to wait is the highest strategy. Losses are part of trading; the key is how to control them. The power of compound interest—small gains + small losses = long-term profits.

If you are still struggling in the cycle of liquidation, try this change:

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

Before, I was stumbling around in the dark, now I have the light in my hand, and the light keeps shining. Will you follow me?
