In contract trading, what truly determines the outcome is not the direction, but the stop loss.
This contract trade was a trend-following, light-position operation. The market was at the lower end of a consolidation, with clear bullish and bearish disagreements. I didn't bet on an "inevitable rebound," but waited for the structure to confirm before entering.
Before entering, I clarified three things: position size not exceeding the plan, fixed stop loss, and not being greedy for take profit. During the process, the price once moved in the opposite direction. Without predefined rules, it’s easy to be carried away by emotions. Ultimately, this trade didn't yield exaggerated profits, but the key was executing it thoroughly. Looking back, what truly made a difference wasn't how accurate my judgment was, but that the stop loss position allowed me to "stay alive." Gate's contract tools are mature in risk control and execution, but the premise is whether you're willing to respect the rules.
Experience summary: Contracts are not about who sees the market more accurately, but about who is more disciplined. Being able to accept small losses is a prerequisite to waiting for big market moves.
