Can contracts make money? Honestly, it has little to do with how wild the market rises or falls. The real challenge is whether you can control your own hands.



I've seen too many scenarios like this—yesterday, the account was all green, making me feel on top of the world; today, a big bearish candle wipes out all the hard-earned profits. That feeling of "money in hand and then gone" is more heartbreaking than losing money directly.

I've also had my own setbacks.

As soon as there's a profit in the account, I want to add more; when I lose money, I refuse to close the position willingly. In the end, I either give back the profits or get harshly taught by the market. Only later did I realize that the real bottleneck in rolling positions isn't whether you're willing to add, but whether you can sit still.

You have to wait—for that truly confirmed moment, for the right opportunity to act.

Many people are actually skilled technically, but they lose because they act too hastily. Always thinking of trying again, but repeatedly giving away the advantages they've gained.

Now I simplify my trading rhythm:

When there's profit, first leave yourself an exit route. Don't try to squeeze every bit out of each market move. Take profits in batches when they arrive, and leave the rest for others to eat—no problem.

Being able to hold onto the money you earn is always more valuable than earning a little more.

The most frightening thing about the contract market is never how complicated the trend is, but the greed, impatience, and stubbornness in your mind that make you think you can't lose.

People who think they can turn things around usually run the fastest, but also fall the hardest.

Opportunities will always come again, but once the principal is gone, it's really gone. There are no magic tricks in this game—simply put, if you understand it, go in; if you can't see through it, wait. When you make a profit, learn to cherish it.

Really, knowing the right thing is easy, but doing it is hard. Many people understand this principle, but few can truly practice it. I myself often get overwhelmed by greed.

That really hits home. I'm the kind of person who wants to double down after making a profit, but every time, the market teaches me a lesson.

That hits too close to home. I'm the kind of person who wants to go for another round after making a profit, but every time it's green yesterday and liquidation today. Really, my hands just won't listen.

Control your own hands, that's the real deal. I feel it deeply—greed is more fierce than the market itself. Unwilling to accept the small profit from closing, it’s heartbreaking—it's always like this. Only those who know when to take profits can live longer.
