Decide to document this journey of Futures Trading starting from 40U.

Many people ask me why I started with this amount. To be honest, there is no special reason; it was just that this was what was left in my account at the time, and I wanted to see if I could make a profit through Futures Trading. Back then, I had only a vague understanding of concepts like leverage and liquidation, and I was mostly operating based on my instincts.

During this period, I've seen many people making money in Futures Trading, but I've also seen many more who had their accounts wiped out in one go. I want to document my experiences, lessons, and even moments of loss. On one hand, it's a summary for myself, and on the other hand, it might provide some reference for beginners - it's not necessarily a method for success, but at least it's something that has truly happened.

In the coming days, I will continue to update my trading records, mindset changes, and some thoughts on the market. If you are also involved in Futures Trading, feel free to take a look; you might find some resonance.

Haha, starting to play by feel at 40U, I really respect this courage. It's a raw record, much more reliable than those post-hoc armchair quarterbacks bragging. Looking forward to the moments of loss, listening to blood and tears stories can help avoid pitfalls.

Starting at 40U, I really appreciate this kind of honesty, not pretending. Being able to write about the moments of loss—that's the real deal.

Relying on intuition in trading, I understand this very well. That’s how I played back then, haha. --- The story of turning around with 40U, fine, this time it will definitely succeed. --- Wait, you really record your losses too? I respect that. --- This is how contracts work. When you’re winning, it’s awesome; when you’re losing, you want to smash the screen. --- By the way, just recording this kind of thing already shows you’re more aware than most people. --- Leverage really turns into a fool’s game in just one second. --- Forget it, let’s see how you update later; maybe you can avoid the pitfalls. --- Starting from 40U truly makes you a brave warrior, I admire that. --- Recording moments of loss is very genuine; most people only post screenshots of making money. --- That part where I relied on intuition, I managed to recover once, then it was gone.

The days of trading based on feelings were truly a matter of playing with fire; starting with 40U sounds fierce, but there are many more who get liquidated.

Starting from 40U, this is the beginning of the gambler's mentality, haha. However, it's indeed rare to find someone who honestly records their losses, much more reliable than those who brag about their trades every day. Looking forward to seeing how you survive from the edge of close all positions.
