LIGHT爆仓、COS深套、HOLO割肉……Many people think this is due to poor technical skills. Actually, it's not. The real issue lies in one word: position.

I've seen too many people with only ten thousand dollars in their account, who immediately go all-in. They hope for a 3% increase to double their money, or get scared and cut their losses overnight after a 5% drop. Playing like this is not trading; it's gambling.

I used to do the same. Once I identified the direction, I would go all in. Making quick profits was easy, but losses came even faster. When the direction was right, I lost my money. It was then that I realized a truth: surviving is more important than making money.

What was the turning point? I later focused solely on one thing—profit compounding. It sounds simple, but in practice, it requires discipline.

For every trade, I enter with a small position to test the waters. If the market's rhythm is right, I add more; if not, I cut losses immediately. I never fight the market head-on. You might find my trading pace less exciting, without the thrill of getting rich overnight or blowing up your account. But you know what? Over the past three years, my account has steadily grown, and my mindset has become more stable.

Others say I am too "conservative" in trading. Actually, I am using a costly lesson to guide myself—controlling position size is the key to lasting success.

Before the market picks up, I can stay in cash for three or five days without moving. But once the rhythm starts, I dare to take a position and hold it through the entire process. This is not gambling; it’s about grasping the market rhythm and maintaining strict position discipline.

Many people say they are "dead" in the market, but in reality, they are not dying from the market itself, but from their emotions and illusions. They chase the top, heavily load at the bottom, or try to use all their capital to gamble on luck. The final outcome is predictable.

If you truly want to turn things around and get out, remember these points: don’t open positions casually, don’t heavily load positions impulsively, and don’t rely on luck with your principal.

In fact, the market offers opportunities every day. The problem is most people don’t have the courage to take them. It’s okay to slow down; as long as the direction is correct and the rhythm is steady, this path will always be beneath your feet.
