Copper prices are indeed very volatile. Looking back, it would have been better to use ETFs or related stocks for deployment; at least the holding experience would have been much better. But what happened was, trading CFDs with that huge volatility, I couldn't hold on, and frequent trading ended up trapping me. When it comes to commodities, choosing the right trading tools is really crucial—even if you see the right direction, different holding methods can lead to wildly different experiences and returns. Sometimes it's not that you misread the market, but that the leverage and volatility of the trading tools mess with your mindset.

The leverage in margin trading is really a mental killer; anyone who has tried it understands that feeling.

Oh no, contracts for difference (CFDs) are just a mental test machine. When volatility is high, it can send you to the sky and then crash you down. Choosing the wrong tool is even more heartbreaking than misreading the market; ETFs are truly much more stable. The same copper mine, using leverage versus not using leverage, feels like two completely different planets. Frequent trading is like planting bombs in your own mind; once your mindset collapses, everything is over. For commodities, you need to choose the right booster; otherwise, you'll never reach the moon.

I've been through it all; contracts are just a trap to deceive people. Once your mindset collapses, everything is gone, and that's the most heartbreaking part.

The CFD trap is really a pitfall, one wave and your mentality explodes. That's right, choosing the wrong tool is like wasting the correct market trend. Leverage is a double-edged sword; when volatility is high, your mind gets confused. ETFs are stable, but they lack that thrill in returns. Frequent trading is truly the enemy of profits; every time you think you can catch the bottom. Different holding methods make such a big difference? I also want to try the feeling of pure stocks. The biggest enemy is the mentality; even if you get the market right, you still end up losing.
