Why do 90% of people lose everything in contracts? The truth is actually very simple.

Many people don't lose due to lack of intelligence, but because they repeatedly make the same mistakes.

The greater the leverage, the faster the liquidation; it always outpaces the profits.

When chasing gains, they fear missing out; when cutting losses, they fear further losses, and their actions are entirely based on emotions.

The result is that they chase the rise, cut the drop, and ultimately hold on until the end, continuously losing until hitting rock bottom. I've seen too many people around me who wanted to turn their fortunes around through contracts, but in the end, couldn't even preserve their principal.

Where is the problem? There is no trading discipline; they operate entirely based on feelings.

I was the same way back then and lost most of my capital in just a week. It wasn't until I truly understood: those without rules are just cash machines for the market makers.

How many common money-losing traps have you fallen into?

Opening high leverage, fantasizing about getting rich quickly, often results in a single spike wiping everything out.

Holding on stubbornly, hoping for a rebound to break even, results in bottom-fishing turning into catching blades.

Later, I switched to a different approach; although it’s not glamorous, it allows me to survive steadily.

Three principles help me survive in the market:

First: Focus on the big cycle, ignore the noise.

I only look at 4-hour charts and above, filtering out the disturbances of short cycles, focusing on the big trend, and capturing deterministic swings.

Second: The risk-reward ratio must be favorable.

Set a stop loss at $50, and the take profit must be at $100. This way, even if I make two mistakes, catching one opportunity can turn things around.

Third: Control the risk of each trade.

A single loss should not exceed 2% of the principal. By calculating this way, even if I make wrong calls consecutively, I won't get knocked out. Only by surviving can I wait for the next bull market opportunity.

Beware of several signals:

Total losses exceed 50%, and the principal is about to be unsustainable;

Multiple liquidations while still holding onto the fantasy of a last-ditch effort;

Trading lacks a system, relying entirely on group messages and feelings.

The real risk is not market volatility, but rather that you’ve already lost the qualification to continue playing.

The market will always be there, but if the principal is gone, you can only watch others make money.

What scares the market makers is not recklessness, but those who have discipline and understand risk control.

Remember, rules are the only protective charm.

Luck won't allow you to profit in the long term; only rhythm and strategy can.

Surviving is the first step to turning things around.

What you lack is not effort; this market is not lacking in opportunities. What you truly lack is someone who can help you achieve stable profits in this market.
