Why do some people always make money in contract trading while others end up losing everything? The difference lies in mindset.

The year I first entered the market, I only had $10,000 in my account. Seeing the platform's "10x leverage" promotion, I got carried away and opened a position of $50,000. When the market moved slightly, I was immediately liquidated. That moment, the screen turned completely red, I was stunned, and my hands trembled. That lesson cost me $10,000—leverage is not simply risk multiplied by 10, but rather a knife's edge that can cut dozens of times deeper.

Afterward, I started observing traders around me. Those who make money are never successful because of precise signals, but because they understand one word: patience. When others go all-in, they hold back; when the market crashes, they stay calm; when emotions explode and they want to retaliate with reckless trades, they’ve already closed their software. In essence, every profit actually comes from the chips dropped by those who are greedy or fearful and get liquidated.

Over eight years, I’ve seen too many stories—some people lose their million-dollar accounts and crash out, while others achieve steady gains through cautious management. The rule is simple: gamblers who have a mindset of betting will eventually lose everything; those who focus on risk control are the ones who can survive until the end.

Contracts themselves are not hell; reckless betting is. Either continue to be cut by the market like a chive, or truly wake up—it's not about predicting market ups and downs, but about learning to stand on the side of the harvest. Going solo is doomed to fail; with someone leading the way and supervision, you can walk steadily forward.
