It has been 108 days since I started trading contracts with 500U.

The account has dropped from 366U yesterday to 238U today, losing 128U in one day, with a total loss now rooted at 262U.

The most heartbreaking was that LIGHT order. I was about to make a 150U profit and exit, but I impulsively didn't set a take profit. One rise and one fall in the middle of the night, I messed around but didn't catch anything. Now the deep pit is formed, and there's no bottom to this fall.

In this market, it seems that retail investors can only do one thing—keep throwing money to learn lessons.

Looking back at these 108 days:
- September 10, 2025, first entry +500U
- October 11, 2025, margin call -500U
- On the same day, stubbornly re-enter +500U
- October 16, 2025, fully withdrew -1000U
- December 15, 2025, couldn't resist again +500U

And now, here we are.

Taking profit sounds simple, but in reality, it really depends on talent.

No take profit set, brother. A loss of 128 in one day, this pace is a bit intense. Here we go again, 108 days and still haven't learned? That LIGHT trade is probably my greed. Retail investors are just like leeks, no other way out. Entered five times with 500U and still here, I think it's a gamble. Contracts really are ruthless, they don't leave any bones. If this drops again, I guess I have to clear my positions. If it happens one more time, just quit the circle altogether.

Not setting take profit is really a mistake, I've done this stupid thing too. It's another cycle, maybe next time try small amounts? This account curve is just outrageous, how dare you come back again. LIGHT's trap is so deep, should I close it or hold on? 108 days of losses, need to reflect on the strategy, buddy. Setting take profit and stop loss in your mind is useless. You should have learned something from this wave.
