2025 is not an easy year for many traders. In the first half of the year, repeatedly trying and failing within the perpetual contract dead loop, the losses far exceeded expectations, and the overall mindset also fluctuated. The turning point came in the second half — beginning to systematically shift to event contract strategies. To be honest, this transition has shown a decent win rate, but the difficulty of money management is evident, often causing long-term accumulation to vanish in a single misjudgment. Every loss feels like recording a trading log, with experience gradually settling in these lessons. The biggest takeaway now is understanding that the trading market is an unknown battlefield; rather than obsessing over short-term gains and losses, it’s better to adjust expectations and leave room for buffer. In the new year, I hope to turn these experiences into more stable decisions.

Perpetual contracts, I understand that vicious cycle too well—it's a bloody lesson. Money management is really a game of risking it all; one wrong decision and it's all gone. Event contracts have a decent win rate, but stability still depends on mindset. Having strategies alone isn't enough. After this round, I finally understand—trading is about finding certainty within uncertainty.

The perpetual contract dead loop is really impressive, feeling like going back to the pre-liberation era with one move. Event contracts have a decent win rate, but you still need to be careful. One mistake can ruin everything. Fund management is the real weakness; if you can't keep a steady mindset, all efforts are in vain. Trading is just repeatedly paying tuition; those who survive until the second half of the year are the winners. The phrase "leave yourself some buffer space" really hit home. Don't think about going all-in to turn things around in one shot.

The endless loop of perpetual contracts is really incredible. I also learned a painful lesson in the first half of the year. Event contracts are indeed more stable, but fund management is still the biggest pitfall. One mistake and it's all gone. That feeling is so real.
