The contract market in the crypto circle is like this: one thought can lead to heaven or hell. Some people make money rapidly, while others lose everything in the blink of an eye. I personally turned 2700U into 130,000U, not by luck, but by strictly following five trading disciplines.

The strategy is actually simple: divide 2700U into 10 parts, and each time use 260U to chase a one-sided trend. Once the direction is confirmed, 100x leverage can double the fluctuation of 1 point. But the premise is that you must be disciplined.

First rule: Cut losses quickly. When reaching the stop-loss price, close the position decisively and don’t wait for a rebound. Accepting a loss is always more comfortable than being liquidated.

Second rule: Stop after five consecutive wrong trades. Turn off the trading app and take a break for a few hours or even days. Persisting in trading during chaotic market conditions is suicide.

Third rule: Withdraw profits immediately. Take half of every 3000U earned back to your wallet. The old saying “safe to take profits” also applies in the contract market; the numbers in your account are just paper wealth.

Fourth rule: Only chase one-sided trends, avoid oscillations. Trending markets are like printing money, but choppy markets are like a meat grinder, repeatedly cutting the leek (selling at a loss).

Fifth rule: Keep position size below 10% of your account. Light positions help maintain your mindset; heavy positions are like gambling with your life. To succeed in the contract market, first, you must survive.

Contract trading is a long-term battle, not a get-rich-quick game. Incorporate these five rules into your trading system, and you’ll be laughing last in the crypto circle.

Sounds good, but how many can truly survive? I've seen too many go bankrupt over the phrase "just follow the discipline." 100x leverage sounds exciting, but a margin call can happen in an instant.

It sounds good, but the key is whether you can stick with it or not. 100x leverage sounds exciting, but liquidation can happen in an instant. Really, it's about staying alive; the numbers in your account are all just virtual.

You're right, but I'm still a bit wary of 100x leverage; I've seen too many blowups in a single trade.

Exactly right, but most people can memorize these five points, and when it comes to the market, they forget everything.

That was quite eye-opening. I was intimidated by the 100x leverage in an instant, but I still think it's a bit daring. These five points sound so simple, but in reality, executing them is like hell, especially the one about stopping after five wrong trades. You need to have a very strong mental resilience. Admitting losses is more comfortable than liquidation, there's no doubt about that, but I've seen quite a few people blow up their accounts... As for the withdrawal point, you're right. Never cash out and always keep it in the account—it's just a dream. Account balances can be very deceptive.

That's right, discipline is indeed the key, but the real concern is losing your mindset during execution. Playing with 100x leverage is fun, but a single overnight gap can wipe everything out... Losing five consecutive trades and stopping is something I deeply understand; many times, stubbornness leads to liquidation. Holding small positions allows for a longer life, while big positions may bring temporary pleasure, but if the account is gone, everything is meaningless. I also agree with the withdrawal part; good numbers are useless until they reach the wallet. The key still lies in execution ability; no one can achieve 100% discipline just by talking about it. A volatile market is truly a meat grinder; I only start trading when the trend is confirmed. Turning 2,700 into 130,000 sounds crazy, but if you can truly achieve stable compound interest, that’s the winning mindset. Stop-loss will never make you regret; only greed will.

A 100x leverage doubles with one point move? Sounds like a story, but very few people can really play it safely... --- Stopping after five consecutive wrong trades, I agree with this, but unfortunately most people can't do it at all. --- Withdrawing is a good move; paper wealth is indeed just a numbers game. --- The logic of holding a small position to survive longer is sound, but execution is difficult. --- Trend markets are like printing presses, oscillating markets are like meat grinders—it's true, but the question is how you judge the trend. --- From 2700 to 130,000 sounds great, but that's the result. What about the process? --- Stop-loss discipline is the most critical, but human nature is gambler's psychology; the hope for a rebound is always easier than cutting losses. --- A 100x leverage doubles with any fluctuation; this premise is too aggressive. A reverse shock can lead to immediate liquidation. --- Limiting position size to 10% is still rational, better than going all-in. --- Contracts are a psychological battle; technical analysis is secondary. A mental breakdown means game over.
