#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.

That's right, living longer is the key. I'm the kind of person who frequently gets liquidated, always thinking that the next trade will recover, but I end up going deeper and deeper... Hearing this has been a wake-up call.

This 100x is just a gambler's machine; it's really good enough to survive steadily. People tend to lose everything quickly when they become greedy. I agree with the saying that those who live longer are better, but in practice, who can really do it? Stop-loss sounds simple, but by the time you execute it, your mentality has already collapsed. I feel I'm far worse than that guy. It's pretty good that he stops after making five wrong trades, to avoid losing more and wanting to turn the tide, creating a vicious cycle. Light positions are the way to go; those who go all-in are basically cannon fodder.

Oh my, this logic makes me feel like I'm playing Russian roulette... but staying alive is indeed more important than making quick money --- 100x is really a trap; I've seen too many people lose everything in one wave, even their underwear --- "The one who lives the longest wins," I've gotten tired of hearing that, but it does make sense... --- I admit I have a reflex to cut losses, but I just can't do it; I always want to gamble on a rebound --- Stop-loss after five wrong guesses? I usually only realize I should take a break after ten mistakes haha --- Taking profits and stopping is ruthless; the money in the account is just imaginary, only real when you get it --- Holding a small position to survive longer is right, but profits are slow; how do you balance that? --- The buffet plate analogy is perfect; a full-position life is just like that --- It seems simple, but it's just two words: survive. Ah, but it's still too hard

Living longer is indeed the key to winning, but I still think a 100x is like gambling with your life. No matter how much you cut losses, this trait can't be changed.

Hmm... That's right, surviving is the key, but I've seen too many people get wiped out after hearing this theory. Execution is the real hell.

Really, going all-in is just courting death. I used to be greedy too, now my account is left with just a little bit, I regret it so much.

Sounds good, but 100x leverage is really just a money-making machine for the quick and easy, and no matter how strict the stop-loss rules are, they can't withstand a gap down.
