#美联储降息 I’ve seen cases where 5,000 yuan turns into a million, and I’ve also seen tragedies where earning 500,000 in a day is all gone the next day — this is not a joke, it’s a daily drama played out in exchanges.



Today, let’s talk about something real: position management rules crafted with real money. This set of principles could be the watershed for you from frequent liquidation to steady profits.

Why do so many people lose money on contracts? It boils down to one thing: not knowing how to wait. They can’t wait to open ten trades in a day, but the result is them constantly throwing money at the market in different ways. The highest level of rolling positions, frankly, is extreme patience — holding firm until a sudden, sensational trending move appears, then striking hard.

A common dead-end for beginners is fixed: as soon as they make a profit, they get greedy and add more to their position. It looks like chasing wins, but actually, it pushes the entire principal into risk. Even a small retracement can wipe out the account.

The real way to survive is this: after the first profitable trade, quickly withdraw all the principal. The remaining funds are pure profit, and your mindset changes completely — you’re earning market money with market money, with fewer burdens.

My own approach is as follows:

When a single trade exceeds 50% profit, move the stop loss directly to the entry price. This way, regardless of how the market moves afterward, this trade will never turn negative.

After doubling, lock in at least 30% of the gains as emergency funds. You can withdraw it or move it to a conservative account.

Continue following the trend with the remaining profits, and only exit when the trend’s weakening signals become very clear.

Details determine life and death. The sooner these habits are ingrained in your mind, the longer you’ll survive in this market.

More difficult than making money is protecting money. Most people’s tragedy isn’t that they never earned, but that after earning, they get greedy, refuse to take profits, and end up losing everything — principal and interest. Don’t wait until the trend reverses and gains evaporate to lament. Opportunities are right in front of you; you have to act fast and be ruthless.

The market shows no mercy. Hesitating when it’s time to act, and missing the opportunity; being greedy when it’s time to take profits, and profits disappear in minutes. If you’re still frequently opening positions driven by feelings, it’s time to pause and think about this “build-up and breakout” rhythm.

There's nothing wrong with that, but taking profits is the hardest part. When you see it still going up, you can't bear to sell. --- Immediately lock in 30% after doubling. I need to remember this move, or I'll get caught in another round of losses. --- Trading ten orders every day is really risking my life. It's better to be honest and wait for that big market wave. --- Making money is easy, but holding onto it is hard. I'm that fool who earned 500,000 and then gave it all back. --- The key is mentality. Greed can wipe out your account in an instant. This time, I must stick to my plan. --- Pull out the principal and trade with pure profits. The psychological pressure is completely different. --- The market really shows no mercy. A second of hesitation and the opportunity is gone. A second of greed and the profits vanish. --- This trading rhythm sounds simple, but in practice, everyone stalls during execution. I personally struggled the most with adding to positions.

That's right, but the key is that most people simply can't do it. Psychological accounting is way more complex than K-line charts.

That really hits home, but I just can't control my hands... Now I finally understand that making money isn't really hard, what's difficult is not being greedy.

Honestly, taking profits is much harder than cutting losses. I've seen too many people get greedy after making money. Earning 500,000 in a day and having nothing the next day is indeed common. I'm the kind of person who easily gets carried away. Waiting is truly the biggest test. If you can't endure the loneliness, you can only keep sending money. Withdrawing principal is an absolute trick; it instantly changes your mindset completely. No matter how eloquently you speak, execution is the key.

Honestly, I've heard this theory too many times. The key question is, how many people can actually execute it properly? Most people forget everything right after listening, whether to increase their position, add more, be greedy, or be cautious.

That really hits close to home. I'm the kind of fool who makes fifty thousand one day and loses it all the next. I'm still regretting it. Honestly, taking profits is easier to talk about than to do. Greed can really destroy everything. The suggestion to lock in 30% when doubling is good; I need to remember that. I can't go all in anymore. Frequent daily trading is just giving away money. That's no lie. Looks like I need to learn to wait. The worst part is the moment when the trend reverses. I can't react in time, and the profits just vanish in a flash.

That's so true. I previously lost everything because I couldn't hold onto my money. The real lesson is learning when not to act. Trying to catch the bottom halfway up the mountain is a big taboo. Watching your account plummet is more painful than making money. I've truly come to understand that this time. People who place ten orders a day are basically gone after ten days. I've seen too many cases like this.
