Starting with 4300U and trading up to now, to be honest, I never thought of myself as a "chosen trader."


When I first started futures trading, I was like most people: chasing ups and selling downs, opening positions based on gut feelings, getting cocky after a small win, and trying to get even after a loss.
4300U quickly wore down to half. During that time, I even started to doubt whether this thing was simply untouchable for ordinary people.
What really made me stop and reflect was a streak of consecutive losses. Not a single liquidation, but that feeling of being slowly ground down by the market—the more I traded, the more chaotic it got; the more chaotic, the more I lost.
Later, I made a simple but crucial change: I stopped gambling on direction.
I split my capital, using only small positions to test each trade, confirming the trend first before considering adding; if wrong, I would exit immediately and no longer hold onto losing positions.
My biggest mistake used to be "holding on till death"; now it's "admit when the point is reached." Once the stop-loss is triggered, I execute it directly, leaving no room for explanations.
Another change is that I learned to stop trading.
After two consecutive losses, I close the software and stop forcing opportunities. I used to think this was giving up; now I understand it's about keeping rhythm.
Another important point: I began to regularly take some profits out, not letting the account numbers fluctuate endlessly. What's earned is not left on the chart but taken into your own hands.
Over time, the account began to grow steadily, no explosive miracles, just repeating a few very basic rules:
Don't chase emotional trades, don't hold losing trades, only trade setups you understand.
Don't trade in ranging markets, only move in trends; don't trade uncertainty, only strike with certainty.
Many people think futures trading depends on skill, but more realistically, it depends on not making mistakes.
Looking back now, the so-called growth is not about making money faster, but losing less and less.
