**From 1200U to Million-Level Assets, What's the Real Challenge?**
Many people think this is impossible, but it's not as mysterious as it seems. Let's break it down using contract trading.
The contract market is straightforward and brutal: either go long or go short—just these two options. You can pick anyone, even have them flip a coin to decide, try repeatedly without limit, and your win rate will naturally stabilize at 50%. This math is foolproof.
But here’s the key turning point—**if you're willing to spend half a year reading trading books, studying the market, and refining your trading system, can you increase your win rate from 50% to 51%?** Just this 1% increase, no greed involved.
What happens then? A 51% win rate combined with a strict stop-loss and take-profit mechanism, keeping the risk-reward ratio above 1:1.5 (meaning each loss is controlled at 1 unit, and the profit target is set at 1.5 units), over the long term, what will the data show? A 50% win rate can break even, but a 51% win rate allows this system to start generating real profits.
**Numbers speak more clearly.** Take a 5-minute short-term trade as an example. You can easily find 5 opportunities per day. Over 10 days, that’s 50 trades; over 20 days, 100 trades. With a 1:1.5 risk-reward ratio, within 20 days, you could achieve a 50% growth.
Starting with 1200U, if you follow this rhythm strictly? About 240 days, you could break through the million mark. If someone says that’s too extreme, then lower your expectations: reduce the risk-reward ratio from 1:1.5 to 1:1, and only increase your win rate from 50% to 51%. In that case, in 3 years, 1200U could grow into millions—honestly, anyone who truly understands trading wouldn’t pick trades with a 1:1 risk-reward ratio because it’s too risky.
**What about risk?** Based on a 1:1.5 risk-reward ratio and 50% win rate, using 10x leverage and full position size, the probability of liquidation is only 0.8%. Plus, with that 1% edge in win rate you’ve learned, the risk of liquidation can be practically ignored. The only prerequisite? Every trade must strictly follow stop-loss and take-profit rules—no luck-based thinking, no holding onto losing positions.
**What does reality look like?** Most people fail at this step. They understand the theory but waver when actually placing trades—hesitating at volatility, trying to add to winning trades, or increasing leverage when losing. No matter how perfect the trading system is designed, poor execution makes it useless.
So, the core isn’t about how much initial capital you have or complicated technical indicators. It’s these fundamental things: building a repeatable trading framework, strict risk management, and the hardest part—maintaining a stable mindset. From 1200U to millions, mathematically it’s possible; execution is the real test.
