In the contract market, the true opponent is not the K-line trend, but your restless heart.



Every time you chase the rally before a price plunge, every time you panic sell during a spike—these reveal in silence: you are being led by greed and fear. Industry data is sobering: 92% of retail investors see their principal bottom out within three months, and the root cause is not poor technical skills, but losing to the monster inside their mind.

The "golden opportunity" in your eyes is actually a carefully laid harvesting trap.

When the entire community is shouting bullish, when the price continuously breaks through and creates the illusion of "getting rich overnight," that moment when you can't resist following the trend—just happens to be the moment when big players are preparing to dump. The market always follows the iron law of "seven losses, two break-even, one profit." Emotional traders are the 70% of retail investors who get chopped.

What do profitable traders really think?

**Probabilistic thinking**: They don't fuss over whether a single trade wins or loses, but focus on the expected value over an entire cycle. Just like a casino doesn't care about the win or loss of a single gambler, as long as the math favors them.

**Risk quota system**: They set a "risk budget" for the account each month, managing funds strictly like a company. Once the budget is exhausted, they stop; no revenge trading.

**Systematic execution**: They use trading systems repeatedly validated by historical data, refusing to trade based on feelings. Every operation is a clear instruction from the system.

Three psychological training secrets:

Sniper patience: Most of the time, lurking and observing, only taking action at the optimal strike point. Not disturbed by small fluctuations, waiting for the real opportunity.

Endurance of a marathon: Abandon the thrill of all-in, pursue steady daily compounding. A daily 1% return compounds to 37 times growth in a year.

Doctor’s calmness: Viewing losing trades as a doctor examines a medical record—objectively. Without emotional involvement, diagnosing problems rationally, and decisively executing stop-loss.

Now review your trading records and ask yourself:

□ Have I repeatedly made the same emotional mistakes?
□ Have I chased high and sold low out of fear of missing out?
□ Have I increased my position after consecutive losses to gamble?

If any of these answers is "yes," then what you need is not to learn new technical indicators, but to rebuild your trading mindset. Only when your mentality is repaired can your account be restored.

There's nothing wrong with that, but it's easier to talk than to do. I know I shouldn't chase the highs, but I still got cut anyway.

That hits too close to home. I keep struggling at that 70% every time, thinking I’ve mastered some secret trick.

That hits too close to home. I'm the damn fool among that 92% controlled by inner demons, always chasing gains and selling off at losses. After losing three times in a row, I went all in for a gamble, and my account plummeted straight down, haha.

92% of the data hits home. I'm the kind of fool who chases highs and sells lows. Now it's hard to change.

That's so true. I am one of that 92%, and I'm still losing money.
