#我的Gate交易时刻 This time, seeing my return rate drop to -100.97%, I truly felt uncomfortable.

This trade was a ZEC contract long position, with an opening average price of 469.33, and a final closing at 445.65.
I originally thought the price had already dropped quite a bit earlier, planning to catch a rebound, but the market did not move as expected, and the price continued to fall, ultimately resulting in a complete loss.
Looking back, the biggest mistake in this trade was not the direction, but position management and risk control.
At that time, I was overly confident in my judgment, didn't set a stop loss in advance, and even when the loss widened, I held onto a fluke mentality, hoping the market would reverse.
The truth proved that the market does not change its trend based on your expectations.
After the loss, I rethought my trading approach.
In contract trading, the most important thing is not to seize every opportunity, but to stay alive first.
Controlling position size, strict stop-loss, and maintaining patience are more important than making quick profits.
One failure is not scary; what’s scary is unwilling to learn from the experience.
