You can't hold spot, and your contracts get liquidated. To put it simply, it's not that you don't understand candlestick charts, it's that your position is too full and your mindset is being led by the market.

Also, the money in contracts should be considered as disposable and can go to zero at any time without affecting your life.

If I can handle these two, then I can hold on.
