Contracts are the fastest way for ordinary people to turn their fortunes around, but they are also a deep pit that can be very dangerous.
Countless people enter the market with just a few thousand in capital, dreaming of making a fortune overnight, only to find their accounts wiped out in less than a week, wondering if they are just unlucky.
I was once one of them. At that time, my capital was just over 10,000; after a few trades, I watched helplessly as my funds shrank to just a few thousand. I almost concluded that I wasn't cut out for trading contracts. But later, I managed to grow my funds gradually with a specific method, surviving the most dangerous phase.
Why do most people fail in trading contracts?
It's not because the market is too difficult, but because they enter with illusions:
They believe leverage can amplify profits, but fail to realize that it also amplifies losses;
They think, "As long as I catch one wave of the market, I can double my money," but ignore the impact of fees and emotions on their capital;
Most critically, they have no awareness of risk—liquidation is not an accident, but a matter of when.
Many people fail to understand a simple fact: if you lose half your capital, you need to double it to break even; if you lose 90%, you must achieve a nine-fold return to recover. The difficulty of recovering from losses grows geometrically, not linearly.
So why did I survive? It was through rhythm and a system.
I didn't focus on a dozen indicators; I thoroughly researched the Bollinger Bands (BOLL). Many people only use it as a supplementary tool, while I use it to judge the opening and closing of trends, positioning myself in advance and retreating in time, avoiding getting cut at the last moment. With this approach, I achieved dozens of times growth within a month.
Of course, this isn't about mysticism, nor is it about luck. The real core is:
First, reduce unnecessary trading frequency and don't get tempted by short-term gains;
Second, before entering a trade, plan your exit point in advance and stick to it;
Third, treat your position size as your life; it’s better to take small profits and exit than to give the market a chance to hit back.
Many people still trade based on feelings, resulting in repeated liquidations, recovery, and then liquidation again.
Those who can truly turn their fortunes around are not the ones who gamble their lives, but those who understand how to use discipline and strategy to get through.
What you lack is not effort; this market is also not short of opportunities. What you truly lack is someone who can help you achieve consistent profits in this market.
