Contract trading, it seems like heaven or hell can happen in an instant. I turned 3000U into 300,000U, and there’s no secret—just a few ironclad rules, simple but effective.
Real traders who survive don’t rely on flashy tricks. It’s just some rough but deadly rules.
My first rule: don’t gamble your life on one trade. That 3000U in $BTC, I split into 10 parts to play. Each order of 30U with 100x leverage, if the direction is right, it doubles; if wrong, get out immediately. Never hold on stubbornly, because the market is always right; only you can be wrong.
As for stop-loss, I’m more ruthless than anyone. No fantasies of rebounds, no waiting for maybe. When the trend turns, the more you look at the loss, the more it doubles. So, stop-loss boils down to two words: if given a chance, walk away; if not, get out.
The second rule that saved my life is called “circuit breaker”—after five consecutive losses, shut down your computer, close the software, and leave the scene. When emotions take over, you’re not trading; you’re just throwing money away. Look again the next day, and the market structure is often crystal clear.
Profit must be realized—that’s the bottom line. Don’t withdraw after earning 3000U; that’s just a number on the screen. Take out half into your wallet, and you’ll understand what real money is. Contracts aren’t proven by screenshots; they’re proven by whether you can still sit at the table.
I only do one thing: follow the trend. The trend is where the money is; oscillations are the meat grinder. If you don’t understand, wait. Wait until the structure is clear before entering. Missing out is okay; as long as you’re alive, there’s a next chance.
My position size is locked at 10% at most. Trying with 30U, admit mistakes, and can afford to lose. Those who make long-term profits are never the ones going all-in; they are disciplined and can survive.
Contracts are a long-term war, not a get-rich-quick show. Embed the rules in your mind, turn off your emotions, and you’ll discover a truth—making money is just a side effect; surviving is the real skill.

It's easy to say it’s a 100x return, but honestly, living is harder than making money. There's nothing wrong with that statement.

Honestly, I've heard this explanation too many times, but I haven't seen many actually stick with it until the end.

To be honest, I agree with this logic, but most people still can't do it. The part about stop-loss is especially painful; the lesson I learned the hard way is that "one more second of hesitation can cost you double." The key is execution; armchair strategizing is useless.

To be honest, this set of theories sounds solid, but execution is the hard part, brother.
