#密码资产动态追踪 To be honest, making money with contracts doesn’t rely on luck — it depends on discipline and a calm mindset in the face of danger.



Seven years ago, I invested 2,000 yuan without using leverage at all, and I ended up liquidated to the point where I couldn’t even afford instant noodles. That experience left a deep impression. Now, my account has eight digits, and looking back, all the pitfalls I’ve encountered have become valuable lessons.

My approach is actually very simple: start with 1,000 yuan to test the waters, and only use 300 yuan each time to trade 100x contracts. When leverage is good, a 1% price move can double your position; when it’s bad, your position can vanish overnight. So I set five bottom lines for myself, and I want to share them with everyone.

**First: Cut losses immediately when you hit your limit, don’t bet on a rebound.** During my early days, I blew two accounts, always hoping the price would bounce back to break even, but the market never follows the script. Once the stop-loss is hit, I exit the position. Staying alive is more important than fighting the market.

**Second: Close the software after five consecutive losses.** Sometimes the market just goes haywire, and continuing to trade only messes with your mindset. My rule is simple: after five stop-losses, take a break and review the next day. Often, the issues from the previous day have already been resolved by then.

**Third: Withdraw half of your profits once you make 500 yuan.** The numbers on the screen are virtual; the market can turn on a dime. When I earn 500 yuan, I withdraw at least 50%, because real gains are only when they hit your wallet.

**Fourth: Only chase trending markets; rest during sideways movements.** When there’s a clear trend, 100x leverage can help you grow quickly; but during consolidation, the same leverage can become a tool for losses. If you can’t find a direction, it’s better to wait and observe rather than open reckless positions.

**Fifth: Never risk more than 10% of your principal on a single trade.** Going all-in is like forcing yourself to eat ten plates at a buffet — the last plate will make you miserable. Keeping positions small allows you to survive longer in extreme market conditions.

I’ve stuck to these five rules for many years, not because of talent, but because only by staying alive can I keep making money.

To be honest, this set of rules sounds reasonable, but it's just too difficult to implement. I myself have been educated by a margin call, and now my account is slowly starting to look better.

That's right, the saying "Only by staying alive can you keep making money" really hits the point. --- Talking about stop-loss is easy, but doing it is hard. I only understood after dying once. --- Five reliable bottom lines, but most people can't follow them. Mindset is truly the biggest enemy. --- The most testing time in volatile markets is when you're itching to trade, which is often when you lose money. --- Trading with a small position lasts longer. I understand this principle, but how many can truly do it? --- From being unable to afford instant noodles to reaching eight figures, that turning point must have been very painful. --- Taking a break after losing five consecutive trades. I need to learn this self-discipline; I never used to follow this rule before. --- The numbers on the screen are all fake; only withdrawals count as winning. That statement is very truthful. --- Leverage amplifies not only gains but also human greed. --- Seven years of sticking to this strategy, not everyone has the patience for it.

Setting stop-loss is easy to talk about but hell to implement. Few people can truly follow the rules. I especially agree with the idea of taking profits and running. The numbers on the screen are indeed very fake. Closing the software after consecutive wrong trades is a brilliant move, preventing oneself from becoming increasingly agitated.

Living is the only way to keep earning money, and this statement hits the point. Looking at his five rules, in plain words — don't be greedy.
