How to trade contracts to achieve stable profits? Many beginners' first reaction is—having enough initial capital or mastering some secret tricks.

Actually, not necessarily. Big players have their own strategies, and retail traders can also find their own way to survive. On a technical level, no matter how fancy the trading techniques are, they can't withstand a single shakeout by the market maker.

I believe the real key lies in **mindset**.

The most painful situation is this: your judgment is actually correct, and the direction is right. But just when the market fluctuates, you start to doubt everything, and when your heart softens, you admit defeat and exit, hurriedly paying the transaction fee to escape. As a result, the market then soars, and you look at the candlestick chart with regret, then recklessly chase in to buy the dip. In the end? The trades that should have been profitable are turned into losses by your impulsiveness.

This cycle is like working for the exchange—it's the most exhausting and most regrettable.

To put it simply, market fluctuations are common in contracts. After opening a position, what is most important? **Calmness**. Take a deep breath, don't be scared by those tiny fluctuations like mosquitoes. Stick to your logic and trust why you entered the market in the first place.

Small fluctuations are not stop-loss signals; they are just market breathing.
