I am a novice in futures trading, entering the market with dreams. I studied crude oil trends and decided to buy a contract when it was at $50/barrel. The market was highly volatile, and the price dropped to $48 at one point, causing my heart to race, and I almost cut my losses. But I persisted in my analysis, believing that a rebound was imminent. Sure enough, the next day, oil prices soared to $55 due to geopolitical news. Xiao Ming decisively closed the position, earning a profit of 5000 yuan. I excitedly recorded my trading insights: calm analysis surpasses emotional trading. From then on, I paid more attention to risk management, and contract trading became the starting point for my wealth growth, also teaching me to respect the market and proceed with caution. These are all things I made up.
