The day before yesterday, RIVER's contract position was floating with a profit of several thousand yuan. I was thinking I could relax, but I didn't take profit in time. In the past two days, a wave of reverse correction not only wiped out the profits but also got me trapped with over a thousand yuan. Looking at the candlestick chart, I feel a bit helpless; the possibility of a breakout in the short term is quite low. This is the normal state of contract trading—mindset and timing are often more critical than technical analysis. Sometimes, when you make a profit, you should exit; greed always comes with a price.

Taking profit without stopping loss, this is a painful lesson.

This is the cost of greed. Thousands of dollars in unrealized gains are forcibly locked in, it's uncomfortable.

That's why I say that contracts are a psychological game—technical analysis is bullshit.

From a technical perspective, this is a typical case of stop-loss execution failure—behavioral finance research shows that retail investors' decision bias rate in a floating profit state can reach approximately 73%. Greedy costs indeed should not be validated with real money.
