Open a contract challenge, aiming to grow from 50u to 10,000u.

Honestly, I wasn't in a good state today. I wasn't fully awake in the morning and went short on the top-ranked asset, only to get caught. Watching the market move in the expected direction, I could have made 3,500u profit, but I lost my composure—fear of a pullback led me to exit early.

The final bill was really painful: not only did I fail to achieve the expected profit, but I also paid an additional 570u in funding fees. I regret my early stop-loss decision.

There are still 2,000u left in the account. Luckily, another asset performed well today; otherwise, I would have lost everything. This round of operations has been a valuable lesson—I've learned the importance of emotional management and understood the balance between stop-loss and holding psychology.

Keep going, and I'll try again next time.

Jumping into the market without understanding it, no wonder you're getting caught in the harvest.

Haha, I started giving away money as soon as I woke up this morning. I really understand this move. --- Missed out on 3500u worth of gains, but ended up losing 570. I really need to adjust my mindset. --- Next time, don’t rush to run away. Let the bullets fly a bit longer. --- Turning 2000u into 10,000u—brother, the pressure is immense. --- Still daring to continue challenging, I admire your courage. --- Finding a balance between stop-loss and holding psychology is easy to say but hard to do. --- Don’t trade contracts when you’re not in good shape; this lesson is costly. --- Another brave warrior has fallen victim to repeated fund fees. --- Fortunately, another coin saved you, or it would have been even more painful.

This mindset needs to be tempered; 3500u worth of assets just like that are gone.

Bro, you really need to adjust your mindset. Blindingly shorting the first tier in the morning when you're groggy can lead to losses, which shows you didn't do your homework. That's greed. You saw the 3500u profit but hesitated, and in the end, you lost 570u, breaking down. 2000u to 10,000u? First, stabilize your mindset, or else you'll lose everything if you try again.

This is the true picture of contract trading—once your mindset collapses, it's all over.
