You get liquidated in contracts—no, it’s not the market targeting you $SPCX
Why can’t you ever avoid getting liquidated when trading contracts? Don’t blame the market targeting you. The real reason is simple—you’re fighting human nature head-on.
I’ve been in this game for so many years, and I’ve seen too many people leave the market after getting liquidated. In the end, they turn serious trading into gambling, then stubbornly wrestle with the weaknesses of human nature.
Let me tell you a painful scenario—you’ve probably experienced it:
You enter a long position with a 40-point move, and then the market turns and drops to 26. Which path do you instinctively choose?
Hard-headedly hold for it to come back? Add to average down and dilute your cost? Martin/martingale-style multiplier bet? Or lock the position and wait for it to unwind?
Don’t be stubborn. No matter which of these four moves you take all the way through, the ending is only one thing—liquidation.
If you’re still trapped in the hole, here are three iron rules. I recommend you engrave them into your bones:
1. Your stop-loss line must absolutely not be changed. If it gets swept, accept it.
Stop-loss is the lifeline of trading. Move it once, and you’ll create a hundred “exceptions.” The market will never adjust itself to go along with your stubbornness.
2. Never hold a losing position (no “doubling down”). Holding is slow suicide.
Don’t dress up holding positions as “cultivating patience and self-discipline.” Trading isn’t self-improvement for enlightenment—it’s math and accounting. The more you hold, the bigger the hole becomes.
3. Never move your position size recklessly. With small capital, prioritize staying alive.
Don’t force it with a large position—it’s not saving bullets, it’s digging a pit for yourself. For beginners, use small capital to train execution. Staying alive matters more than anything.
While you’re still clinging to the fantasy that the market will turn back, professional traders have already closed their wrong trades and are counting money from profitable ones.
The difference is never technique. It’s that they execute rules like machines, while you spend the whole time letting emotions drag you around.
The market won’t sympathize with gamblers. It only harvests people who hold unrealistic fantasies.
In the end, trading is fundamentally a battle between you and your own human nature. Quit the fantasies and strictly follow your rules—only then can you truly stand firm. #Ethereum Foundation launches Glamsterdam testnet
