A friend recently liquidated his position. I feel very sad when I see others liquidating their positions. Whether money comes from work or from scratch, it takes time and effort. It is not impossible to use small amounts to achieve big gains in contract trading. Risk control is the top priority. The highest principle of risk control is “discipline”. Discipline will determine how far you can go!
Several disciplines are repeated again, hoping that traders who want to invest in contracts will check whether they commit too many taboos "at the same time":
1. Remember to bring take profit/stop loss when placing an order
-- Why do you have to use a machine to brush the grid to win? It’s just with a stop-profit/stop-loss, right?
2. The position after leverage should not exceed 10%
-- It's better to go lower. Even if you want to cover your position on dips, you can't go higher.
3. Don’t trade frequently and don’t make less than 30% profit
-- Keeping an eye on the market when investing in short-term orders is also very bad for the quality of life. And every order is a risk. Making small profits through frequent transactions is very dangerous.
4. Beginners should not "short" with real money first, only use it for trial gold or simulated trading.
-- It's not absolute. If the market is going bearish, of course it's still short, but I'm not sure I'd rather let this trade go.
There are many ways to trade, and the above is not an absolute guideline. But at the same time, when many bad habits are added together, it is almost only a matter of time before the position is liquidated!
There are still many issues that are anti-human in investment, and if we continue to fight against them, there will be too many. I’ll share it again when I have the chance, and if you’re interested, you can leave a message for discussion.
