I want to talk to everyone about why I insist on holding without rushing to take profits.
I am originally a contract novice, and during the process of exploring, I found that contracts are actually a combination of three actions—adding positions, taking profits, and holding positions. Adding positions is offense, taking profits is defense, and doing nothing is balance. My approach is very simple, which is to find a rhythm among these three.
Now my account is already profitable, and the margin ratio is gradually decreasing, which means the risk I bear is reducing. As long as I don't continue to add positions, the risk won't increase at all. My idea of betting on the trend is based on this—I've calculated that I can accept a profit retracement, and even in the worst case, I have a clear understanding.
Some people also ask me why I don't open and close orders to profit from short-term fluctuations. Honestly, I don't have the ability to make precise short-term predictions; I just want to bet on the direction, not guess the timing.
I hope everyone can find a rhythm that suits them. Instead of blindly pursuing profits, it's better to protect the principal first. As I said, I wish everyone never to get liquidated and to walk steadily.

That makes sense, but the "sense of rhythm" is indeed the key; many people just can't get it right.

This guy is so right. I was one of those whose mentality was shattered by short-term trading, but now I've learned to let go.
