Recently, I have gradually recovered the losses I had. Although today's trading results were average, it marked a pretty good turning point. I have suffered quite a few setbacks in event contracts before, and I have also interacted with various signal providers—some just collect subscription fees and then disappear, some promise one thing but do another in actual trading, but I have also met a few truly talented and knowledgeable ones.



It was only later that I realized the core issue is not about looking outside, but relying on myself. No matter how powerful the tools are or how famous the teachers are, they are ultimately just aids. The real decisive factor is mindset—don't get overly emotional, don't chase after quick gains or panic sell, this is the foundation for survival.

My current strategy has been adjusted quite a bit, mainly focusing on small-scale trial and error, gradual accumulation, and leaving enough mental space for adjustment. Instead of aiming for a big win all at once, it's better to steadily hone my judgment in event contracts. Although this approach may seem slow, it has the advantage of allowing me to go further.

That's right, relying on teachers is not as good as relying on yourself. I’ve also been burned by this before. --- Mindset is really the biggest enemy. I just can’t seem to change my habit of chasing gains and selling in panic. --- I’m also using the small-scale trial and error method. It’s much more stable than dreaming of getting rich overnight. --- I stopped believing in the copy-trading teachers a long time ago; it’s all just tactics to cut leeks. --- Taking it slow is actually faster. That’s a very true statement. --- You’ve made a comeback, huh? And what about me? I’m still lying on the floor. --- The pitfalls of event contracts are indeed numerous. Without three to five years of experience, you can’t figure out the tricks. --- I agree, tools and teachers are just smokescreens. In the end, it still depends on your own insight. --- Looking at your operation strategy, it’s much more rational than me messing around blindly. --- I think the problem is that most people simply don’t have the patience to build small amounts over time.

Honestly, I totally agree with this logic. I’ve been led into various trades and got chopped for chives before, and now there are just two words—self-rescue.

To be honest, mindset is truly the most difficult part. I’ve also fallen into pitfalls before, and during the times I chased after trades and lost the most, I really wanted to find a savior, only to be cut repeatedly. Looking back now, I realize I still need to rely on my own approach to stay clear-headed. Small-scale trial and error is indeed a method, although it takes time to recover the costs, but at least it allows me to survive until the day of enlightenment.

To be honest, mindset is indeed the biggest obstacle. I’ve been led astray by various teachers before. The small-scale trial and error approach is really effective, but you need to be able to endure it. There’s no shortcut to making money with contracts; you still have to rely on your own grind. This steady and cautious strategy may be lengthy, but at least you won’t lose everything in one go. The feeling of recovering losses is satisfying, but don’t get carried away again.

It should be pointed out that your statement essentially argues a proposition that has been verified by the community countless times—the importance of self-awareness far exceeds external toolchains. On-chain data shows that 95% of contract traders ultimately go to zero, and the commonality among survivors is not which mentor they followed, but rather the self-constructed mindset framework. Let me say this: this is the true meaning of the essence of technology. When Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin, it was fundamentally about empowering individuals with complete autonomy—your current realization, to some extent, is a return to the original meaning of this power.

This is true enlightenment, really. Compared to those still searching for a divine guide to lead their trades, you have already won.
