Contracts can make you rich overnight or push you off a cliff. Over the past few years of hard work, I turned an initial capital of 2000U into 100,000U, and I’ve learned some tricks.



Honestly, the people who survive in the contract market usually don’t use fancy moves. They follow some simple yet ruthless rules that are as basic as can be.

When I first got that 2000U, I never thought it was a matter of life or death in one shot. No matter how aggressive your strategy, your mind can’t be reckless. I split the principal into 10 parts, investing only 20U per trade, with 100x leverage. If the direction is right? One point can double your money. If wrong? Just get out immediately, never hold on stubbornly.

I never try to argue with the market; the market is never wrong. The only mistake is mine.

When it comes to stop-loss, I am stricter than anyone. I don’t hope for rebounds, and I don’t gamble on that ambiguous "maybe." If the market turns against you, just one more second of hesitation can double your losses. So my stop-loss logic is very simple: if there’s an opportunity, take it; if the market disrespects you, get out.

Another rule, a hard bottom line that has saved me countless times—after 5 consecutive losses, immediately cut off. Close the trading software, close the trading interface, and exit completely. When emotions take over, you’re not trading anymore; you’re just throwing money away.

The next day, looking at the charts, the structure often becomes very clear.

Profit must be converted into real cash—that’s the bottom line. Making 2000U? That’s just a number on the screen, meaningless in itself. Withdraw half to your wallet, and you’ll understand what “real money” means. In the contract world, it’s not about screenshot skills; it’s about whether you can still sit at the table.

My trading logic is simple: follow the big trend.

The trend is where the money flows; oscillations are a meat grinder. If you don’t understand, wait. Enter only when the trend’s logic is clear. Missing a wave isn’t a big deal; the key is to survive so you get the next chance.

Regarding position management, I keep it very tight: never exceed 10% of the account. Each mistake costs 30U; if I’m wrong, I accept it because I can afford that loss.

Those who can make steady money in this market long-term are never the ones going all-in in one shot. The ones who make money are disciplined traders who survive the longest.

Contract trading is a long-term war, not a stage for quick riches.

When you engrain these rules into your mind and completely shut out emotional noise, you’ll suddenly realize: making money is just a byproduct. The real skill is being able to stay in this market continuously.
