In the contract market, the traders who stand out are often not those who chase every rise and fall, claiming to be able to "accurately bottom fish." Instead, those who can survive longer and maintain stable profits are the "steady types" who embed risk awareness in their hearts.
Many people have fallen into a big pit: thinking that making money depends on skill and judgment, and focusing all their energy on analyzing market trends and adjusting strategies, eager not to miss any opportunity.
But here’s a harsh truth— the market is inherently random.
There are no absolute rules for price movements; so-called "accurate judgment" is essentially luck showing its face. The so-called "earning based on skill"? Actually, it’s just that the market happened to be on your side this time.
Profits are never something you actively "create," but the natural result of having a solid defense in place, allowing the market to give back to you.
True trading wisdom looks like this:
Before opening a position, first assess whether your risk exposure can be handled, don’t be blinded by potential gains; set your stop-loss properly and stick to it, don’t waver even if you feel lucky; in terms of position sizing, strictly control the amount, don’t increase your position out of greed.
Every decision is driven by one goal—survival. Every move is aimed at avoiding risk.
Conversely, if you keep your eyes fixed on profits, it’s easy to be driven by desire.
To earn a little more, you might close your stop-loss; to chase higher returns, you might go all-in on a gamble. Short-term, you may see some profits, but in reality, you’re already hanging one foot off a cliff.
The biggest risk in the market comes suddenly and without warning. One irrational bet can wipe out years of gains, let alone stable profits.
Ultimately, trading is about playing probabilities.
We can’t control market rises and falls, but we can fully control our risk exposure.
When you truly dedicate yourself to protecting your safety line, resisting the temptation of profits, you’ll stay clear-headed and maintain a steady rhythm.
Over time, you’ll realize—profits are not something you actively chase; they are the natural result of holding your bottom line.
This is the most genuine secret of contract trading.

It's a tough truth, but it's real. The hardest line to hold in stop-loss is always the one you want to "wait a little longer" on, and what happens next...

It sounds nice, but I just want to ask—why hasn't this theory saved my debit card?
But on the other hand, I did learn this lesson at the cost of a significant loss... The reverse indicator itself tells you that the stop-loss line has indeed changed my life.

Talking about the importance of stop-loss and risk control again, but I see that many people still fail to execute properly when it really matters.

That's right, but I found that those who shout the loudest about "being able to precisely bottom fish" are often the ones who lose the most.
But to be fair, how strong must one's psychological resilience be to truly hold the stop-loss? That's much more difficult than technical skills.
I understand the thrill of going all-in on a gamble, but I really can't afford to play that way; I could lose everything in one shot.
