Whether a contract can be consistently profitable depends not on how you operate after entering the market, but on the details you have already considered before you even click the buy or sell button.

Experienced traders accept a reality before entering: this trade might lose. It is precisely because of this honesty that they set their stop-loss levels accurately at the moment they open the position. When the price hits that line, they close the position without hesitation. Don’t expect the market to bargain with you—hesitation only increases the risk of loss.

Many people have a biased understanding of leverage, treating it as a tool to take bigger risks. In reality, leverage should be used to match your true capacity for drawdowns. If your position size doesn’t match your ability, blaming the market for losses is pointless—you’ve simply overestimated yourself.

Profits that are still floating can actually lead to more problems. When you see your account in the green, some want to add more or chase further. That’s not a signal; it’s a warning—time to think about how to protect this profit. Giving back the money you’ve already earned is even more painful than losing everything from scratch.

Honestly, technical analysis and strategies are important, but emotional management in contracts carries even greater weight. If you lose a few trades, stop immediately. If your state isn’t good, step back temporarily. Many liquidation cases aren’t due to analysis errors but because the mindset has already fallen apart.

This market offers opportunities every day, but it’s also full of traps. Those who survive long-term are never the ones who rush in the most aggressively, but those who can afford to lose and walk steadily.
