I've seen too many contracts blow up because people blame the market, but if you carefully analyze the operation paths of each dead account, you'll find the problems are actually the same—full position hard holding, fantasizing about a reversal, and confusing the right or wrong direction as the last lifeline.



It's like playing on a no-rules gambling table. The market itself isn't the problem; the issue is that you haven't established a trading framework from start to finish.

The biggest realization I've had over the years of trading contracts is: this thing isn't really about predicting accuracy, but whether you're willing to pay the "stop loss" price in advance for each trade.

Once you have a clear position size and set your stop loss levels, high leverage isn't that scary. Because essentially, you're operating with small positions, no different from light spot trading. The ones who determine victory or defeat are those who can keep their accounts running even after a single loss.

Compare two mindsets: one person focuses on "how much can I make this wave," and the other asks "what's the maximum loss on this trade." When losses are controllable, the rest depends on probability stacking. Take profits in batches when making money, exit immediately if you judge incorrectly—don't get emotionally attached to the market.

Interestingly, traders who strictly follow rules often look very boring—they trade with small lots, low frequency, and no one posts daily screenshots. But their accounts are slowly accumulating, and money naturally flows toward them.

Trading is never about who has the bigger guts; it's about who can hold back before the opportunity comes, and then execute strictly when it appears, not taking unnecessary steps. The signals on the chart are always there; what’s most lacking is those who act according to the rules.

It's the same old story, right? The point is valid, but people still go all-in anyway.

That's right, but most people simply can't do it. I've seen too many people verbally agree with this logic, then turn around and go all-in on a gamble, and then blame the market for being unkind.

You're absolutely fucking right, that all-in holding strategy is literally a death sentence. I've seen way too many accounts go to zero that way, and then they're still in the group making up bullshit stories about black swan events.

Full position is really a slow form of self-destruction; I always see people getting wiped out here.

That really hits home. Going all-in and stubbornly holding on to those people is just shooting yourself in the foot and then complaining about the world. I've seen too many accounts like this.
