Anyone who has played with contracts understands that it's not trading; it's exchanging your sleep for a false sense of certainty. When you lie down, you're still holding onto your Position, and when you close your eyes, your mind is filled with Get Liquidated lines. When you wake up in the middle of the night, your first reaction is not to drink water but to open the Candlestick.

The most terrifying thing about contracts is not losing money, but making people think "if I just watch a little longer, I can turn it around." The result is that the more you watch, the more chaotic it becomes, the more anxious you feel while calculating, staring at the market until dawn, with emotions being controlled by the market, and sleep being drained by leverage, continuing to operate the next day like a zombie. What is lost is not the principal, but energy, focus, and judgment.

In simple terms, as long as your position is open, you will always be in a "wake-up call" state. You won't sleep soundly, you'll wake up too quickly, and your heartbeat will be faster than the market.

Contracts are not a shortcut to making money; they are the endpoint of sleep quality.
You think you are staying up late waiting for opportunities, but in fact, you are turning yourself into an opportunity.
