#美联储回购协议计划 Why do contracts always result in losses? I’ve summarized six life-saving rules from painful lessons learned.



Are you always gambling on luck when opening contracts? I’ve been there too. It wasn’t until my account hit zero once that I realized this isn’t a casino; it’s a probability exam.

**Lesson One: Learn to Hit the Brakes**
Not cutting losses is like voluntarily letting others take your money as a sucker; not taking profits is greed-driven suicide. Always remember this truth—the market’s gains will come again, but your principal can be wiped out in just one move.

**Frequent Betting Is Slow Suicide**
Every additional trade eats into your profits through fees. Plus, in a leveraged environment, a few points of volatility can liquidate your entire position. It’s better to sit back and wait for high-probability opportunities to knock.

**Holding Cash Also Requires Discipline**
When the market is unclear, staying in cash is actually more challenging than frequent trading. Many people can’t do it and end up throwing fuel into the market fire.

**Start with Small Gains**
Investing, in essence, is using small amounts to test your ideas. Use mini positions to verify your logic and mindset first, then gradually increase. The dream of getting rich overnight—wake up and go back to sleep.

**Avoid the Temptation of High Leverage**
50x leverage may seem to instantly change your life, but it can also make you disappear just as fast. Long-term traders focus on compound interest, not miracles.

**The Most Painful Rule: Execution Is the Key**
Seeing the right direction but failing to hold your position, or holding on despite being wrong—this is more deadly than poor skills. True discipline isn’t just knowledge in your head; it’s a reflex ingrained in your muscles.

Really, stop-loss is easy to talk about but extremely hard to implement. Every time I want to take a chance, my account ends up gone. This guy makes some good points, but 50x leverage really is a bloodsucker. Being out of the market tests your mentality the most; I just can't sit still and have to make a move. Frequent trading is just giving money to the exchange. I’ve calculated it now, and the fees can eat up half of the profits. Execution is definitely a problem. When I get it right, I can't hold on; when I get it wrong, I still hold on. I feel like that's just who I am.

Account zeroing out is indeed the best tuition fee.

Hmm... That's quite right, but there are still people playing with fire at 50x leverage every day. Those who are going to suffer heavy losses still end up losing big.

Oops, it's that old story of stop-loss and take-profit again. I took a look at my account... there's really no way to argue. --- Nothing wrong with what you said, but when the market actually moves, who still remembers these? I ask you. --- That part about frequent betting really hit me; I can't afford the transaction fees. --- I advise you not to try 50x leverage; personal experience. --- The hardest part is execution; knowing and doing are worlds apart. --- Lying idle in a flat position is even more uncomfortable than trading; who can handle that? --- Small-scale testing sounds easy, but once your mindset breaks, nothing else matters.

That really hits home. The part about execution truly struck me; knowing and doing are really two different things.

Hmm... That's a good point, but I realize that the most heartbreaking part isn't actually these six points, but rather that most people simply can't do it.
