The contract market is not a casino, but it's harsher than a casino.
It will take you from euphoria to collapse in minutes, making you want to 'double down to win it all back'.
Those who survive are those who understand restraint and go with the trend.
1. Do not engage in 'revenge trading' after a stop-loss.
Losing money in contracts is normal, but the fate of two types of people after a stop-loss is completely different:
❌ One type immediately doubles down, wanting to 'win back' → ends up directly liquidating.
✅ One type stays calm, rests, reviews, and adjusts their strategy → can continue playing.
Realistic advice: Continuous stop-loss = the market reminding you to pause.2. Don't rush, don't dream of getting rich overnight.
Trading is a marathon, not a lottery.
Those who lose money and have unstable mindsets often go all-in and risk their lives.
Survival > big profits, do not let one impulse destroy all your capital.
3. The trend is your ally.
If the market is one-sided, trade with the trend; do not go against the market.
Against the trend, seemingly 'buying the dip' or 'selling the peak', is essentially giving away money.
In a nutshell: Go with the trend, patiently wait for opportunities.
The win-loss ratio must be greater than 2:1.
Each trade must ensure that profits ≥ losses multiplied by two.
Focusing solely on win rates is useless; the win-loss ratio is the key to long-term survival.
5. Stay away from the trap of frequent trading.
Beginners often think 'every candlestick is an opportunity', but in the end, opportunities become traps.
Iron rule: Once or twice a day is enough; more than that is giving away money.
6. Only earn money within your understanding.
Do not engage with markets you do not understand. Do not gamble on fluctuations you cannot comprehend.
Only earn money you can understand, or you risk your life.
7. Never hold onto losing trades.
Holding onto losing contracts = slow suicide.
Stop-loss is the only shield that protects your survival.
8. Do not get carried away when profitable.
Once you get carried away, you will leverage, and once you leverage, you will liquidate.
The market is always harsher than you think.
💡 Final reminder:
In the contract market, to win, first learn not to lose;
As long as the principal is there, opportunities will always be present.
