After years of struggling in the contract market, I've seen too many people fall for the word "luck."
Many people clearly understand the risks, yet they always turn "I know" into "it won't happen to me":
Hundreds of thousands in liquidation screenshots are quickly forgotten, banging the table saying "I've set my take profit and stop loss," but when the market tightens, greed raises the take profit line, and luck keeps them glued to the stop-loss button.
When in profit, they complain it's slow and rush to increase their position; when in loss, they shout injustice and blindly add to their position, until the "position has been forcibly liquidated" text pops up, only then realizing it's all gone.
Contracts aren't just about skill; it's really about emotions.
A 1% movement in the K-line can shake your heart by 10%. Once adrenaline kicks in, rationality is pushed into a corner, with only the instinct of "not giving up" left to hold on:
The more they lose, the more they add, and the account is like sand slipping through their fingers; the tighter they grip, the faster they lose — this "gambler's spiral" is something I've also been deeply trapped in.
That time I was down 30%, I stared at the red numbers on the screen, suddenly remembering the concerns waiting at home. My finger jerked back suddenly, I closed the software and sat quietly on the sofa.
After dawn, I closed my position, and the account still had 18%, enough to buy some practical items for home.
Now when I trade contracts, I always calculate my "breaking point" first, like leaving a retreat path for life.
Profits are transferred to the cold wallet the same day, and once the trading software is closed, I return to my daily life: tidying up the house, brewing a cup of tea to relax.
Using a slow pace to dilute fast desires, I've slowly steadied the steering wheel of my life.
If you are also trapped in the spiral, you might as well reduce your leverage to 1x first and run a simulation for 100 times.
