#隐私保护话题升温 Contract markets are like an endless chase—profits come quickly and feel scorching, but losses can happen in the blink of an eye. I've seen too many people get their wings clipped here, especially those playing with 100x leverage, who often vanish after just one pullback.
There’s a trader I’ve mentored who, two months ago, only had $3,000 left. That previous $40,000 hole almost broke him. Now? His account is stable at over $200,000. It’s not luck; it’s purely because he learned one thing—survive.
The method I teach him is actually very simple: start with $300 as capital to test the waters, only invest $30 each time to bottom fish, and use 100x leverage to bet on the direction. If you get it right, a 1% increase can double your money; if wrong, you exit immediately.
But the real secret is hidden in a few ironclad rules:
**Stop-loss must be instinctive**
Beginners often make the mistake of waiting for a rebound. I’ve blown accounts myself before realizing that the market doesn’t care about your hopes. When the stop-loss is triggered, you must walk away—don’t cling to luck.
**Stop after five consecutive losses**
Sometimes the market is just zigzagging without direction. Continuing to push in such conditions is just giving money to the market unilaterally. My rule is to stop after five consecutive losses and try again tomorrow. Calm your mind; it’s more worthwhile than losing three times within an hour.
**Lock in profits**
The numbers on your account are illusions. Every time he makes $3,000, I tell him to withdraw half, leaving the rest to dance in the account. This guarantees profits are realized and leaves remaining funds to continue fighting.
**Keep positions very light**
I never let his single position exceed 10% of his capital. Going all-in with leverage is like piling plates at a buffet—by the tenth plate, you could end up in the hospital. Light positions mean a stable mindset, allowing you to survive longer in volatile markets.
**In choppy markets, prefer to lie flat**
100x contracts are inherently designed for trending markets. When the trend is strong, prices rise rapidly, but in sideways consolidation, they become the sharpest sickle.
The ultimate winners in contract trading are often not the most aggressive, but those who survive the longest.
