How can you turn things around without trading contracts? This is the real answer!
I also think that contracts are the only way to turn things around—thousands of dollars a day, who still goes to work? As a result, I stayed up all night watching the market, my eyes dazed, and when I refreshed my account, it was all losses, my mentality completely collapsed.
At that time, I was even dreaming of liquidation, pretending to be calm during the day, while internally scolding myself a thousand times. Until a friend's words woke me up: "Are you trading, or gambling with your life?"
Only then did I realize that I wasn't trading contracts before; I was gambling with my life! Placing orders based on feelings, over-leveraging, stop losses on a whim, making money and losing it all—completely gambling behavior.
Later, I completely overhauled my approach: I only traded familiar currencies, followed the trend, never exceeded leverage limits, and set stop losses and take profits firmly, only executing one or two trades a day.
Now? I don't have to stay up late anymore, I'm not afraid of market spikes, and I can sleep soundly.
The method is actually so simple it's ridiculous: "Use the patience of stock trading to trade contracts,
and use the discipline of working a job to trade," but 99% of people simply can't do it.
The secret to turning things around has never been about "whether to trade contracts,"
but whether you take trading seriously.
