What really allows me to make stable profits is not technology, but a shift in mindset

When I first started trading contracts, I spent a lot of time learning technical skills, analyzing indicators, practicing market feel, and chasing various 'magical signals'. However, the more I did, the more I lost.

Later, I gradually understood that what really determines profits and losses is not technical details, but the overall way of thinking.

I had three key shifts that became the core of my later stability:

First, trading is not a game where you must make money every day.

Trade when there is a market trend; if there isn’t, take a break. The market doesn’t wait for you; you have to wait for the market. Once I understood this, I accepted being in cash and stopped forcing trades.

Second, setting profit and loss limits is not a restriction; it’s a way to protect yourself so you can continue trading.

In the early days, I didn’t set stop losses, always thinking about 'recouping losses', which resulted in small losses turning into big ones.

Now, I write down my stop losses and profit-taking in advance for every trade, and when the time comes, I execute without hesitation or luck.

Third, the essence of trading is managing your emotions and discipline.

Many people know the technical aspects, but those who can truly profit are those who can minimize their actions, stick to their plans, and maintain a steady pace.

Stable profits do not come from luck or getting rich overnight, but from a set of processes that can be executed over the long term, gradually increasing the account day by day.

Now when I look at the market, I am not anxious or greedy. I place orders when conditions are met; if they are not, I turn off the computer.

On the path of trading, those who truly go far are never the fastest, but the steadiest.

If you are also experiencing anxiety and frequent losses, consider adjusting from these three points. It’s not that the market is wrong; it’s that we need to approach it with the right mindset.
