Invested 500 dollars into the contract, and now it’s the 109th day.

Yesterday, the account was still 238U, and today it rose to 296U, earning 58U in a day. But honestly, the total account is still down 204U.

Recently opened a new position, and the account fluctuations are very large. Sitting in front of the screen watching the floating profit and loss swing up and down, it’s a bit exhausting. Reflecting on it, I realized a problem — even if this trade finally holds and turns around, the method of holding the position can no longer be used.

Why? Because the account is completely locked. Seeing good opportunities but unable to act, only able to watch helplessly. This passive feeling is even more painful than losing money.

The process is like this:
- September 10, 2025, first entry, invested 500U
- October 11, 2025, boom, margin call
- Same day, second entry, again 500U
- October 16, 2025, withdrew all principal 1000U, ending up with a loss of -1000U
- December 15, 2025, third entry, again 500U

The lesson is clear: when the account loses, admit defeat and cut losses quickly. Instead of stubbornly waiting for a rebound, better to save bullets to catch the real bottom.

the real tragedy here isn't the -204U, it's watching opportunities slip past while capital sits hostage in a losing position... that's the actual psychological bleeding nobody talks about

This wave is really exhausting. Having my account locked is even more frustrating than losing money, I understand.

It's the old story of holding a position again; having your account locked is truly despairing.

The feeling of having your account locked is truly unbearable; this phrase hits home even more than losing money.

To be honest, this is the truth about contracts. I've also used the tactic of holding positions to lock accounts, but in the end, I could only watch as tenfold opportunities slipped away.
