On the road of contracts, there are only two outcomes:
Either it pushes you up, or it directly clears you out of the market.
Many people are unwilling to admit this.
With a few thousand U charging into the market, fantasizing about turning things around in a few days, and eventually blowing up their accounts has become a routine, then defining the market as a scam.
I have also stepped into pitfalls.
In the early days, I used a small amount of capital for high-frequency trading, stayed up late watching the market, and once a floating loss magnified, my mindset immediately went out of control; a single needle could take away all my principal. Later, surviving was not luck, but finally understanding:
Blowing up your account is not an accident; it’s the tuition fee that recognition has to pay sooner or later.
Many people think that 3x or 5x is very stable, but it actually just pushes the risk further down the road.
Once leverage is magnified, losses are exponential, and when you add transaction fees, slippage, and frequent trading, the account is slowly being drained.
The more brutal reality is the math itself:
If you lose 50%, you need to double to come back;
If you lose 90%, you need 9 times.
So constantly adding positions and reinvesting will only lead to a faster return to zero.
What truly helped me get out was establishing an executable system.
For example, BOLL is not about watching signals, but about observing the contraction and expansion, to judge whether the trend is really coming.
Don’t open emotional trades, just follow the rules;
If it’s time to cut losses, then cut losses, and turn off your feelings.
If you are still relying on intuition to trade,
The problem has never been luck, but that you don’t have a system that can allow you to survive long-term.
If you want to go far, don’t bear the weight alone anymore.
