Anyone who makes their contract stable has gone through the same transformation — from "How much can I earn from this trade" to "How much can I lose."

In simple terms, emotional maturity is the turning point at that moment.

**Set a stop-loss and stick to it**

This is the easiest bottom line to break. When the price hits the stop-loss level, your hand trembles, and you keep hesitating. As a result, a few dozen points are gone in an instant. Even more ruthless is when someone simply cancels the stop-loss order — such people are faster to get liquidated than they can blink.

**Leverage choice depends on your tolerance for error**

Using 20x leverage on a 5000U principal sounds tempting, but if the market moves 5% against you, your account is wiped out. This isn’t trading; it’s going all-in in one shot. True traders ask themselves: how much drawdown can my account withstand? Then they use the appropriate position size accordingly. High leverage doesn’t generate super profits; it only amplifies risks to uncontrollable levels.

**Floating profits are the easiest to get greedy about**

When the account turns red, many people's first reaction is to add more. But at this point, the task isn’t to keep making money; it’s to prevent existing profits from slipping away. Think about how to move your stop-loss or lock in gains. Floating profits are inherently unstable, and greed only accelerates their disappearance.

**When losing, staying calm is more important than turning things around**

After a few unlucky trades, your mind starts to get chaotic. You desperately want to recover losses in one go, but that only makes things worse. The correct approach at such times is to turn off the app, carefully review where your stop-loss logic went wrong, and wait until your mindset is fully restored before acting again.

**In the end**

Opportunities are plentiful, but traps are even more numerous. Long-lasting traders are not those who rush the most, but those who can afford to lose and stay grounded.

The group of people who cut their losses and cancel orders at the first sign of a stop loss probably aren't many left alive now. Always trying to double your money after a loss—this mindset is truly incredible; the more anxious you get, the more you collapse. The moment you add to your floating profit actually determines whether you'll end up eating noodles or meat in the end. Honestly, playing with 5000U at 20x leverage, no matter how good your mentality is, it can't save you. Long-term traders are all like this—watching others go all-in and just chuckling. The key is to ask yourself how much drawdown you can withstand, not how much you can earn. This turning point where you lose on a trade—people who haven't experienced it simply can't understand. Staying calm is more important than turning losses into profits; I truly agree with this, but few people actually manage to do it.

Stop-loss cancellations are truly suicidal trades. Those who add to winning positions are usually the ones who end up getting wiped out later. If you're losing, you should stay calm; if you can't do that, you're basically hopeless. 20x leverage is just for listening; those who really dare to use it are cannon fodder. Most people die at the moment of greed. If your mentality isn't well-trained, no matter how much capital you have, it's useless. That's why most people lose money—stop-loss is virtually useless. Being able to afford to lose is the real key; everything else is nonsense.

Stop-loss not being executed after setting it is really a suicidal move Honestly, after losing a few trades, your mind becomes much clearer, and you're smarter than when you're making money 20x leverage is basically a gift for beginners to unlock wealth secrets Don't be greedy when there's floating profit; knowing how to lock in gains means you're already halfway to winning Traders who last long are truly those who can endure, not necessarily those who make the most money

The hurdle of stop-loss must be crossed before considering an entry; I truly don't understand people who cancel orders. The hardest part after losing several trades in a row is not to panic. That's when I am the clearest-headed, turning off the app. Adding to floating profits with this strategy, many people have fallen into this trap. Greed is absolutely poison. 20x leverage sounds exciting, but a 5% adverse move can wipe you out instantly. Why bother? Mindset is the biggest capital. Without understanding this, no matter how much funds you have, it's all useless.

Damn, that guy who canceled the stop-loss order is definitely speeding towards zeroing out at full throttle. I totally understand the thing about adding to floating profits—those who do it for a quick thrill end up losing everything. Closing the app to cut losses is a brilliant move, more effective than anything else, really.

The group of people who cancel stop-loss orders,爆仓 really isn't fast enough Those who want to add to floating profits are basically destined to be cannon fodder Still trying to recover after losing several trades, are you out of your mind? The ones who truly last long are the patient ones. I've seen too many who rush in and die quickly The key is to ask yourself, how much drawdown can your account withstand? Don't follow the crowd and go all-in

I've seen many people cancel stop-loss orders, each one more creative with their stories, but they all end up the same way. When losing money, you should stay calm, but that's when your mind is the hottest. Those trying to quickly recover their losses haven't survived until now. Adding to floating profits is the most satisfying, but losing money happens the fastest. That's the charm of derivatives, right? Really, 20x leverage isn't trading; it's gambling. Accounts don't have that many lives. Every time they say they'll execute the stop-loss, but when their hands tremble, they forget. A few dozen points can disappear in an instant.

honestly the "just don't cancel your stop loss" part hits different when you've actually watched accounts evaporate in real time... seen too many traders turn a managed loss into a liquidation moment. not exactly rocket science but apparently it is for most.

I've seen many people cancel their stop-loss orders, and they all lose even faster. Your mind is at its worst when you're floating profits, really. When you're losing, you should take a break and not think about making it all back in one shot—that's called getting carried away, not trading. Using 20x leverage is not as satisfying as just going all-in directly; anyway, the results are the same. Mindset is easy to talk about, but when it really matters, your hands just won't listen. People who live long know how ruthless stop-losses can be; it's not just defense, it's a lifesaver.
