When I first started trading contracts, I was just like most people, frantically researching various indicators, staying up late to watch the market, trying to catch every fluctuation. The candlestick chart was filled with trendlines, Fibonacci, MACD, RSI... But what was the result? My account kept getting smaller, and my mindset was collapsing.
Until one day, I lost all of my 5th 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 — unwilling to accept losses, frantically adding to losing positions, ultimately leading to liquidation.
Not setting stop losses — always imagining the market will come back, resulting in deeper 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 and bottoms, only take breaks or pullbacks after trend confirmation. Add to positions only with floating profits — do not average down on losses, only let profits run. Always set stop losses in advance — each trade's loss should not exceed 2% of the principal.
It sounds simple, but it's difficult to execute. Because the market will continuously tempt you to break the rules.
3. The key from 5000U to 100000U:
I no longer pursue 'making money every day', but instead 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 making profits; never let greed cause profit to evaporate.
Just like that, my account began to grow steadily.
4. Trading is not gambling, but a probability game
Many people treat contracts as 'betting', but true traders understand:
The market won’t always give you opportunities; learning to wait is the highest level of strategy. Losses are part of trading; the key is how to control them. The power of compounding — small gains + small losses = long-term profit.
If you're still struggling in the liquidation cycle, try this change:
Reduce trading frequency — strictly enforce stop losses — don’t let small losses turn into large losses. Let profits run — when you’re in profit, don’t rush to exit; the market rewards those who are patient.
If you still don't know what to do now, follow Tiger Brother; as long as you take the initiative, I will always be here!!!
