Trading contracts without stop-losses is like gambler's self-destruction:

In high-leverage contract markets, stop-loss is never an optional choice but a trader’s bottom line for survival.

Countless losses and crashes are caused by overconfidence. People always think the market will turn around, unwilling to set stop-losses, ultimately leading to irreparable losses.

Without stop-loss, you first face the risk of liquidation to zero.
Contracts come with leverage, so any slight market reversal can double your losses. Sudden news, major players shaking the market, and without stop-loss protection, your position can instantly shrink significantly or even be liquidated. What was initially a small loss can turn into a deep trap if you stubbornly hold on, forcing you to cut losses and exit, wiping out all previous profits.

Second, it completely disrupts trading psychology, trapping traders in a vicious cycle.
Without stop-loss constraints, people are easily driven by greed and fear. Watching losses grow larger, anxiety and indecision lead to blindly adding positions to average down, deepening the trap. The originally planned trading strategy is completely derailed by emotions, losing objectivity, leading to repeated mistakes and chaos in trading rhythm.

Most critically, it destroys the chance for long-term trading turnaround.
The market is not about quick profits but about long-term survival. The core of stop-loss is to limit individual risk and preserve capital, leaving room for future opportunities. Rejecting stop-loss is like betting all your assets on one market move; one mistake can wipe you out completely, leaving no room to recover.

Always remember: stop-loss is the first line of defense in contract risk management and the shield to protect your capital. Even the most accurate market judgment cannot withstand an unexpected event without a stop-loss.
Respect the market, strictly follow risk control, and adhere to stop-losses—these are the fundamentals for long-term success in the contract market.
