#密码资产动态追踪 The essence of contracts is: they come quickly, and you can lose just as fast. Especially with 100x leverage—one wrong move and you're wiped out.



I know a guy who, two months ago, came to me crying with $3,000. He had lost $40,000 following signals before. At that time, he was completely broke. Later, he scraped together $3,000 for one last shot.

Now, his account is steady at over $200,000.

His secret to success isn't some advanced technique—it's two words: survive.

The method I taught him is brutally simple—try with $300, each trade risking $30 on a 100x contract. If you make a profit, a 1% increase doubles your money; if you lose, you could be liquidated immediately. It sounds crazy, but the key to survival is hidden in these ironclad rules:

**Stop-loss is non-negotiable**
The most common self-destructive move for beginners is holding onto losing positions, hoping for a rebound. I’ve blown up twice myself before learning this lesson. When the stop-loss hits, cut immediately—market doesn’t care how unfair you feel.

**Stop after a string of mistakes**
Sometimes the market moves like a drunkard, completely unpredictable. If you keep trading stubbornly, you're just giving your money to the market makers. My rule is: after 5 consecutive wrong trades, close all positions and take a break until the next day.

**Take profits promptly**
Account balances are virtual; only withdrawals are real money. I tell him to take half of every $3,000 profit and let the rest fluctuate freely.

**Avoid sideways markets**
100x leverage only works in trending markets. When a trend arrives, it’s unstoppable, but in choppy conditions, it becomes a deadly scythe, cutting you down and making you question life.

**Keep your position size small**
His positions never exceed 10% of his capital. That way, even if he gets liquidated, he won’t lose everything. Going all-in with leverage? That’s gambling with your life.

Contracts are never won by being aggressive; they’re won by surviving longer. Stories of overnight riches often end in liquidation—don’t wait until that moment to regret.

Setting stop-loss is easy to talk about but really hard to do; only after a blow-up do you understand. I must remember to cut losses quickly when I make a mistake, or else I'm just giving away money for free. So, how is that guy doing now? Is he still alive and trading?

Stop-loss is truly a painful lesson; I only understood this after holding on stubbornly for a while. The saying "Stop when you're wrong and take a break" is so true; sometimes you really need to stop and catch your breath. 100x leverage sounds tempting, but staying alive is more important than making quick money. Having a lighter position allows you to survive longer; full position is like gambling with your life. Withdrawing to cash in hand is the real deal; the numbers in your account are all fake. This logic is all about controlling risk—don't be too greedy. The words "staying alive" are indeed the core of contract trading.

Stop-loss is truly a matter of life and death. I've seen too many people hold on until bankruptcy... Even making a wrong move requires taking a break. This rule is too strict; otherwise, you'll really end up working for the market manipulators. Small positions to survive, full positions to wait for death—that's just that simple and brutal. Turning 3,000 USD into over 200,000? It's still about not being wiped out by a market crash—that's just luck... Withdrawing and taking profits is the real deal. No matter how big the account balance, it's all pointless if an extreme market condition wipes everything out instantly. Leverage of 100x is just a gambler's game. Most people can't play it but insist on doing so.

Well said, the two words "living" are the most valuable. I've seen too many people die because they refused to cut losses, really. Getting out after making 5 wrong trades is something I need to remember, or I always feel that the next trade can turn around. Withdrawing to pocket the money is the harshest; account figures are all deceptive, I've seen too many paper millionaires. 100x in volatility is indeed like the Grim Reaper; I’ve been cut once before and it still hurts. This guy’s secret to going from 3,000 to over 200,000 is simply one thing: no greed and no giving up.

After all these years, I only have one feeling: living is truly more valuable than anything else.

Living is winning; this statement is spot on and more effective than any technical indicator.

Living is winning, this saying is truly profound. I used to be the type to hold on stubbornly until my account was wiped out, only then realizing that knowing the truth and actually doing it are two different things. Stop-loss and cutting losses sound simple in theory, but when it comes to the critical moment, your hands start to tremble, and you keep thinking maybe I should wait a bit longer. The result is always a margin call notification. That guy went from 3,000 to over 200,000, and honestly, it’s because he wasn’t greedy. When it’s time to run, run; when it’s time to rest, rest. Compared to technical analysis, this kind of self-discipline is actually the most scarce.

Living is winning, it sounds simple, but actually doing it can get you killed. --- Talking about stop-loss is easy, but a twitch of the hand can lead to holding the wrong position. That's how I lost money. --- Stop trading after five consecutive losses? I should remember this rule; it's better than forcing myself to go all-in. --- Withdrawing to realize gains is the real deal; account numbers are just illusions, fooling oneself. --- 100x leverage contracts are just a 20/80 distribution; few make money, many get wiped out. That's no lie. --- With only 10% of your capital, playing with 100x leverage? I need to think about this rhythm some more. --- From $3,000 to over $200,000, it sounds great, but I know I have to go through many margin calls along the way. --- "Living a long life is winning," this phrase is more valuable than any technical indicator, but unfortunately most people can't learn it. --- The most annoying market is choppy, 100x leverage is just a machine for harvesting the little guys; I'm afraid of getting liquidated.

Living a long life is winning, that's true, but 99% of people can't withstand the blow of their first liquidation.
