Behind the contract losses of #美联储回购协议计划 , there are often these 7 common pitfalls.
What traps are easy to fall into when trading contracts? Many people lose money for no apparent reason, and it all boils down to these few points that were not fully considered.
**The first pitfall: wanting to operate when there’s nothing to do.** Always feeling anxious about positions, frequently entering and exiting, resulting in fees eating into profits, not to mention being severely taught a lesson by the market.
**The second pitfall: Arbitrarily changing positions.** One second you're bullish, the next second you're scared into being bearish. Completely ignoring market continuity, going against the trend is just asking for trouble. Following the trend is the hard truth.
**The third pitfall: Eager to catch the rebound.** It's like catching a flying knife - not for amateurs. Wait until the trend has run far enough and the direction is clear, then follow the trend confidently; this is how you can earn steadily.
**The fourth pit: Hesitating when placing an order, fearing both wolves and tigers.** The result of being overly cautious? Watching opportunities slip away before your eyes. Trust the trend, execute decisively, and don't let hesitation rob you of the profits that belong to you.
**The fifth pit: Always feeling that the main force is targeting you.** To be honest—the main force doesn’t care about your single order at all. Adjust your mindset, take a break when needed, and calmly analyze before taking action again.
**The Sixth Pitfall: Full Margin Dream.** Although going all in can yield big profits if successful, the risks are magnified infinitely. A smart approach is to control your position size, with any single trade not exceeding 50% of your total capital, leaving yourself a way out.
**Seventh Pitfall: Reluctance to Cut Losses.** Acknowledge your mistakes; timely loss-cutting is key. Don't stubbornly resist the market; admit your errors and quickly adjust your strategy to avoid making the same mistake repeatedly.
By achieving these seven points, you can at least avoid a lot of detours.

The scariest thing is the fourth pit; seeing the market right but missing out due to shaky hands is truly a painful experience.
Frequent trading is just a case of itchy hands; I've seen too many people like this, and in the end, they pay more in fees than they earn.
There's really no need to catch a falling knife; why gamble on that split second when you can steadily make money by following the trend?
Those with full positions have a gambler's mentality; I can't stand this kind of play. When losses come, there won't even be time to cry.
The most heartbreaking is that stop loss line; how many people end up getting liquidated just because they can't bear to cut loss, turning a small loss into a big one.
To put it simply, it's just two words—greed; greed is the original sin.

Haha, it's the same story again, but to be honest, frequent trading is really a common problem for most people.
Wait, how can you only lose your principal with a Full Position? This premise is a bit too lenient.
The thing about stop loss is easy to understand but hard to implement. When the mindset collapses, it's just an All in for Margin Replenishment, and you can't stop at all.
The part about catching a falling knife is spot on; it feels like you want to take a gamble but end up being played.
It's true that going with the trend makes sense, but the fear is misjudging the direction.

You are right, I have fallen into too many pitfalls with Full Position, and it's really easy to go All in and lose everything.
