Most traders who engage in contracts share a common flaw—staring at the screen until their eyes hurt.

Price fluctuations immediately cause panic. Losing a little money makes them want to cut losses and escape; making a small profit makes them fear a reversal; even news comes out and they jump in with the crowd. In the minds of these people, quick reactions equal big profits—this is a deeply ingrained belief.

But in reality? It’s the exact opposite.

Those who react the fastest and act the most frequently often end up losing the most. They stare at the K-line chart every day, nerves stretched tight like a bowstring. Any slight movement causes them to operate recklessly. What’s the final result? They don’t make money, exhaust themselves, and their trading rhythm becomes increasingly chaotic.

**The ones who survive longer and earn steadily in contracts are actually those who seem "sluggish."**

By sluggish, I don’t mean standing still foolishly. It’s about not being swayed by market noise—most market fluctuations are just noise. Watching and reacting impulsively only digs your own grave.

Imagine these scenarios—sound familiar?

Finally planning a trading strategy, but changing your mind at the slightest fluctuation; holding onto profits confidently, then panicking and exiting early; seeing normal oscillations but imagining explosive rises or drops, then getting caught when entering the market.

Many people lose money in the contract market not because of technical issues, but because they are too impatient and overly sensitive. Being led by every profit and loss, anxious and panicked, acting recklessly when hot-headed—it's hard not to lose money.

**The people who truly survive and profit in this market share a common trait: a strong "dullness" or "thickness."**

During sharp rises or falls, others are terrified out of their minds, but they remain calm. When debates about bullish or bearish trends are raging wildly, they stick to their trading rules. While others are busy chasing highs and selling lows, they stay patient, waiting for the real opportunity.

This "dullness" boils down to two things: first, having a clear understanding of your trading logic; second, accepting that the market is inherently uncontrollable.

Don’t always think you can catch every fluctuation. Honestly, 90% of market movements in contracts are traps. Chasing after rises and fleeing on dips blindly is just giving away money. Be a bit slower, observe carefully, then act—this way, you’ll lose less and earn more steadily.

Markets are always fluctuating; they constantly create opportunities and traps. A trader’s maturity isn’t measured by reaction speed but by the ability to stay calm and not be easily led by the market.

Those reliable profit-makers have found their way to survive precisely through this "sluggishness."
