I want to share some of my thoughts on contract trading and address some doubts about take-profit.
As a beginner in contracts, I simply understand trading as three actions: adding positions is offense, taking profit is defense, and doing nothing is balance. The essence of contract trading is to find your own rhythm between trend, offense, and defense.
I am currently in profit, but the margin ratio is continuously decreasing—this means my actual risk exposure is gradually reducing. As long as I don't keep adding positions, my risk exposure won't expand. Instead of frequently trading to catch every wave of the market, I prefer to focus my chips on the big trend I believe in. To put it simply, I can accept profit retracement, and I have considered all possible consequences; my psychological expectations are fully adjusted.
Someone asked me why I don't open new positions to chase the market repeatedly. Honestly, I don't have the ability to accurately predict short-term prices; I just want to bet on the trend's money, that's all. Instead of blindly chasing the wind, it's better to stick to the main direction.
Hope everyone can find a trading rhythm that suits them and stay away from liquidation.
