Don't remind me again today

Staring at the market until your eyes almost pop out, but the numbers in your account keep going down - is this your daily routine?



To be honest, I understand.

When I first started trading contracts, I was just like that. The candlestick would jump, and my hands would start shaking; I would get up at three in the morning to check the market, even more punctual than going to my early shift. Later, I realized a principle: those who truly profit in this market are actually quite zen.

I met a brother who has been following me for half a year. In the past, he could open more than ten orders a day, trying to catch every fluctuation. And now? He only makes two or three orders a week, and his profits have increased fivefold. He told me that the best thing now is being able to sleep soundly for eight hours every night.

My understanding of contract trading? Simple - treat it like a game.

Keep your position between 40% and 60%, just like a health bar in a game. Dropped by 10%? Stay calm, don’t panic. Up by 20%? Don’t get carried away either. Last week's ETH market, we took 15% and exited; some people joked that we were too conservative. The next day, it crashed, while others were drawing circles in the corner, we were counting our money.

The most frightening thing is those who treat every trade as a matter of life and death. I have seen too many people who never trade again after one liquidation, and I have also seen those who stubbornly hold on until they end up at zero.

In fact, this market is like playing ranked matches; losing one game is not scary, but what is scary is using the same strategy in the next game.

Now the way I lead people is like this:
- Setting a stop-loss is like buying insurance for yourself.
- Review once a week to study where I went wrong.
- Withdraw a portion of your earnings to secure your profit.

There is a post-2000s individual who is particularly interesting; using this method, they turned 2000U into 15000U in three months. They said that watching the market now feels like playing Honor of Kings; with a stable mindset, the operations naturally won't go awry.

In this circle, living longer is always more important than earning quickly. When you are no longer led by every candlestick, you can see more opportunities clearly.

Wow, this is really me, staring at the market like a fool at three in the morning. This guy is so right, I just got liquidated a couple of days ago and I'm still struggling with it. Two or three trades a week directly turned into five times my investment, I really need to reflect on myself. That post-00s generation turned seven times in three months, my greed really feels like a waste now. Talking about stop loss is easy, but doing it is really hard. Now I realize that chasing every Candlestick to trade is just looking for death, I need to calm down.

Ha, seeing this reminds me of the time I was trapped last week; indeed, mindset is the key. --- To be honest, my 00s fren has completely changed after using this method; now he has great sleep quality every night. --- I used to not handle stop loss well, and now I understand why pros live longer. --- Position control is really the key to breaking the deadlock; I used to go all in, but now I buy enough insurance. --- Reading this article feels like looking at my own replica; I used to wake up at 3 a.m. to watch the market, but now I make more with just two or three trades a week. --- The term go-with-the-flow is used perfectly; those who earn the most are the calmest. --- I was also in on that ETH wave; the conservatives really reaped the last rewards. --- Reviewing really saved me from taking many detours.
