Seeing through the trend and thoroughly studying technical indicators, yet your contract account is still shrinking. What's going on?

Often, the problem isn't the market itself, but those trading bad habits you swear to change but can't.

I've seen too many traders whose core problem is just one word—impulsiveness. When they have no position, they itch to enter the market; after holding a position, they panic and want to close; a slight fluctuation in the chart makes them unable to resist trading. The result? Either they get slowly drained by fees or they get shaken out by market volatility.

The most common scenario of a trading failure is like this: just going long, then panicking and turning to short after two K-lines drop; just switching to short, then fearing missing a rebound and hurriedly switching back to long. The market's direction isn't even clear, but you already exhaust yourself. The most disliked opponent in trending markets is this kind of indecisive, wavering trader.

Some people dream of bottom-fishing rebounds. To be honest, that's not a high-level game for retail traders. The green K-lines appearing during a decline may seem like opportunities, but in reality, they are all sharp blades. The more stable approach is always this: wait until the market truly stabilizes and the trend becomes clear before following up. The profit rhythm may be a bit slow, but at least you can survive longer.

There are also those who suffer from "overthinking syndrome." They hesitate repeatedly before placing an order, regret immediately after placing it, and when they finally muster the courage to chase, the market has already moved on. Frankly, trading sometimes isn't about IQ but about whether you have the execution ability at critical moments.

What is the most terrifying mindset after losing money? Starting to play the "conspiracy theory" game, always thinking that the main force is targeting you. But the reality is, your small position is hardly worth mentioning in the eyes of the market. What you should do is: when emotions are high, immediately close your trading software and calm down. Revenge trading is often more disastrous than the original loss.

The key point is position management. Going all-in sounds exciting, but one reverse move can wipe out your account. Successful traders understand how to leave themselves an escape route; they never stake their life or death on a single trade.

The hardest part is: admit when you're wrong. Don't make excuses, don't be stubborn, and don't hold on stubbornly. You're not in the market to prove how smart your judgment is; your goal is to make money.

Understanding this market, most losers fall because of their character, while winners succeed through self-discipline. If you keep experiencing losses in contracts, don't rush to find some "holy grail trading rule." First, eliminate these bad trading habits one by one. By then, your account will have already gained most of the victory.
