The contract account went from 10,000U to only 1,000U, and these two months have been truly tough. Honestly, I've been operating purely based on intuition—buying when the K-line looks like it's going to rise, and selling in a panic when my mindset collapses, with no plan at all. When to build a position, when to cut losses, when to stop—I've never thought these through clearly, just a series of random operations.

Now, with the 1,000U I have left, I'm a bit conflicted about whether to keep fighting to recover. But if I continue like this, I’ll probably just give away my money again because I haven't changed my trading logic at all. I realize where the problem lies—there's no systematic methodology, just relying on intuition. Do any friends want to share some practical experience? How to judge entry points, how to set reasonable stop-losses? Most importantly, how to stay calm amidst volatility and prevent emotions from dominating decisions.

9000U is gone, this is the price of not doing your homework.

Damn, if I drop 10,000 to 1,000, I just want to ask—if this wave turns around, I’ll be stunned. It feels like the market can't explode outwards; I need to blow up my own mind first. Just being aware of the problem isn't enough, bro.

Bro, this is a typical gambler's mentality, you need to change it --- Losing from 10,000 to 1,000 is indeed a huge loss, but once you realize it, there's still hope --- Feeling like trading? Brother, you're just giving money to the exchange --- Stop-loss, honestly, is about being ruthless. If you can't let go of that little money, you'll end up losing everything --- The problem now isn't whether you can recover from 1,000U or not, but that you need to learn how to survive first --- Don't touch futures without a trading system, really, lessons learned the hard way --- Emotional management is the hardest part. I only understood after being trapped, but it's definitely learnable

Operation issues still require careful reflection; otherwise, this 1000U will probably be wasted again. --- Really, I feel like trading ultimately wears people out. You need to learn the mindset of cutting losses. --- Losing 10,000U down to 1,000U is a huge blow, but it’s also a kind of tuition fee paid. --- Operations without a plan are just gambling. Setting rules early can save you from constantly cutting losses. --- Want to recover your losses without changing your logic? Then just wait to lose again. This time, you need to get serious. --- Honestly, it’s still a matter of mental preparation. When the K-line moves, emotions take over. --- When can this kind of situation truly stabilize? It seems most people go through this. --- Before hitting 1,000U liquidation, quickly set a detailed plan. Don’t keep trading blindly on feelings. --- I’ve seen many cases like yours. First, take a break from trading and calm down for a couple of weeks. --- Setting stop-losses is easier to say than to do. The biggest enemy is your mindset.

It seems like you're operating in a typical mempool blind spot, not thinking about the entry point from the on-chain data perspective... If you want to turn a profit with 1000U, it's better to understand what a risk-reward ratio is first; otherwise, even giving you ten thousand would just be a gas war gift to the miners.

Brothers, this wave is purely a suicidal operation. Playing contracts based on gut feeling is just sending money away, no other way to put it. --- Trying to recover 1000U? Wake up, if you can't change the trading logic, you're doomed. --- The key is to have a stop-loss discipline; otherwise, even with 10x funds, you'll still lose everything. --- I've been through this pit too. The most toxic thing about trading is that illusion of "it's about to go up." --- Don't place orders without a plan, really, it's that simple and straightforward. --- Are you trying to learn how to make money or just keep gambling? Different attitudes lead to different paths. --- Getting used to cutting losses is the end of it. Later, it's easier to chase rallies and sell-offs—this is a curse. --- Losing 9000U should be a relief; someone has lost their entire principal. --- Don't ask anymore, take trading logs seriously, review why each loss happened. It's more effective than any experience. --- Stop-loss is the most expensive insurance in trading, yet most people are reluctant to buy it.
