#加密生态动态追踪 From a loss of 600,000 to turning things around and getting back on track, the blood and tears lessons I learned in contracts



A fan contacted me when she was already heavily in debt, almost overwhelmed by life. She had only $3,000 available and made a strict trading plan with me. Six months later, she not only paid off her debts but also gradually returned to a normal life track. Her key strength was—although she was hot-tempered, she was willing to put in effort to learn and was receptive to advice. No matter how good the opportunity, if you don't know how to seize it, it's useless.

If you're also trading contracts, avoid these pitfalls:

**Psychological Traps After Stop-Loss**
Contracts are a game of small risk for big gains; losses are common. But after being hit by a stop-loss, people fall into two categories—some go on a revenge trading spree, others choose to stay calm. My advice is: when frequent stop-losses occur, stop immediately. Rest, adjust, and wait—this is much smarter than rushing to turn things around.

**Don’t Treat Trading as a Shortcut to Wealth**
The market won't make you instantly rich. The biggest test during losses is human nature—this is when impulsive orders, heavy positions, and all-in bets are easiest to make destructive moves. Staying calm is the prerequisite to longer survival.

**Follow the Trend > Counter-Trend Trading**
How important is it to see the big direction? When the market forms a one-sided trend, follow the rhythm. Going against the trend is asking for trouble; both beginners and veterans can fall into this trap. Once the market trend is locked in, forcing a counter-move usually results in severe losses. Be patient and wait for opportunities, don’t rush to follow the crowd.

**Profit and Loss Ratio Determines If You Can Truly Make Money**
This is easily overlooked. If your profits are smaller than your losses, no matter how many trades you make, it’s all pointless. At least maintain a 2:1 ratio (earn 2 units, lose 1 unit) to qualify for placing orders.

**Frequent Trading Is a Double-Edged Sword**
Especially for beginners, who are full of enthusiasm and want to grab everything. But most so-called opportunities end up as losses. Control the impulse to blindly open trades—only earn money you truly understand.

** Holding a Losing Position Is Like Jumping Into an Abyss**
This must be repeated: do not hold a losing position. Especially in the early stages, stop-losses must be executed. Holding on is not persistence; it’s self-destructive.

**Winning Tests Your Willpower the Most**
It's easier to get reckless after making money. Once you start to get complacent, losses are waiting in the corner for you.

If you’re still wandering in confusion about trading, take a moment to review your own trading logic. The secrets of contracts are far deeper than you think.

The thing about stop-losses is really that many people lose everything because of a shattered mentality. That guy who turned 3000u around is truly a tough person; if it were me, I would have given up long ago. Revenge trading is truly a death sentence; I've seen many big players go back to square one because of it. But to be honest, most people simply can't stick to that discipline, including myself. Holding onto a losing position is just asking for death; there's no problem with that.

That hits too close to home. I'm the kind of fool who gets stopped out and then wants to get revenge. Now my account is already wrecked.

Honestly, I used to lose money in all sorts of ways on stop-losses. Now I just stick to one line and don't touch it anymore. After frequent stop-losses, it's really easiest to get impulsive; itching to trade is the deadliest trap. The point about holding positions is correct; I've seen too many people hold until liquidation and still deny it. A profit-to-loss ratio of 2:1 is a bit strict, but it’s indeed a way to survive longer. Newcomers love to try everything they see; greed in contracts is like poison.

If you're still revenge trading after a stop-loss, you really should reflect. That's how I got cut myself.

To be honest, the biggest pitfall I’ve fallen into with stop-losses still gives me cold sweats when I see people go all-in. Revenge trading is truly poison; even when sober, I know that when you're losing, your mind turns to mush. I'm just worried about those who hear a bunch of principles but still end up holding heavy positions; they play their own game. There are many examples of turning 3000u around, but the key is whether you can withstand that psychological barrier—most people die right there. Holding onto positions is indeed slow suicide; I’ve seen too many people unwilling to cut losses and end up liquidating everything.

People who go on crazy revenge trades after stopping losses are basically just here to give away money, right?
