Contracts are like a double-edged sword. Some people fall into the abyss because of it, but I used it to leverage 80,000U from 1,800U.



Honestly, for traders who have survived long enough in the contract battlefield, it’s never about fancy tricks. It’s all about some rough but deadly effective rules.

My starting point was 1,800U, but I never thought one trade would determine victory or defeat. The strategy can be aggressive, but your mind must never be reckless. I split my principal into 10 parts, risking only 18U per trade, with 100x leverage. If the direction is correct, just one point can double your money; if wrong? Get out immediately, never hold on stubbornly. I never try to reason with the market. The market is the master; the only one who can be wrong is me.

Stop-loss must be ruthless. Don’t expect a rebound, don’t wait for any "maybe." The moment the trend turns, if you watch one more second, your losses will multiply. My only rule for stop-loss: if there’s a chance, exit; if you lose face, just leave.

Another rule that has saved me countless times: after 5 consecutive losses, trigger a circuit breaker. Turn off the computer, close the software, leave the trading interface. At this point, you’re not trading; you’re secretly giving away money. When you look at the chart the next day, the structure often becomes clear.

This is the true essence of emotional management.

Profits must be taken. If you make 1,800U but don’t withdraw, it’s just a number on the screen. Withdraw half to a cold wallet, and you’ll understand what "real money" means. Contracts are not about showing off screenshots; it’s about whether you can still sit at the table.

My trading logic is very simple: follow the trend. The trend is where money is made; oscillations are a meat grinder. If you don’t understand the market, just wait. Wait for the K-line chart to clarify before taking action. Missing an opportunity is okay; as long as you’re alive, there’s a next wave.

Position control is the iron gate. Never exceed 10% of your account, risking 20U per trial and error. If you’re wrong, admit it; losses are part of the game.

Those who can make long-term money are never the ones going all-in on every trade, but disciplined and energetic traders. Contracts are a long-term battle, not a show of quick riches.

When you embed these rules into your mind and turn off your emotions, you’ll suddenly realize a fact: making money is actually just a byproduct. Being able to survive in this market continuously is the real skill.

Well said, that's exactly the point. I really dislike those who go all-in and then brag, the ones who won't last more than two months.

Exactly right, only those who survive are the winners; screenshot takers ultimately end up as the little guys.

It sounds rational, but I've seen too many people who speak better than they sing, only to get exposed in the end. I support the idea of hitting the limit after 5 consecutive losses, but very few people actually follow through with it. The harshest thing isn't the stop-loss rule itself, but the heart capable of executing the stop-loss rule.

Stop loss is the key, everything else is nonsense. --- From 1800 to 80,000, basically it means never being greedy; staying alive is the true way. --- Losing 5 consecutive trades means you have to exit. This rule has saved me many times. Now I see others getting wiped out every day and finally understand what it means to stay alive. --- All in positions are trying to get rich quickly, but in the end, they all end up heavily in debt. So boring. --- In the face of trends, there are no tricks; it all depends on whether you dare to only take long positions. --- If you don't understand the market, don't move. This sounds simple, but 99% of people can't do it. --- Screenshots are meaningless; only withdrawals count as real profit. --- Holding a position tightly at 10% is comfortable. --- I feel like this guy is just a cold-blooded disciplined character, and he really seems to be making money. --- Playing contracts ultimately is a psychological battle; technical skills are secondary. --- At the moment of loss, looking one second longer can really double the loss. I agree with this statement.

Stop-loss狠、仓位小、情绪管理拉满,这才是活下去的密码。大多数人死在贪心上。 --- Losing 5 consecutive trades and hitting the circuit breaker, I learned this. Too many people do it backwards, betting even more when losing money. --- Cashing out and taking profits hit the mark; account numbers are virtual, only real money counts. --- The phrase "Follow the trend" is simple but really hard for some people to do, always trying to fight the market. --- From 1800 to 80,000 is not surprising; what's surprising is not getting liquidated during a certain correction. It takes incredible execution power behind that. --- Never exceeding 10% position size is a strict rule, but those who survive the longest really play this way. --- Emotional management is truly the ceiling; you can learn any technique, but if your mind can't be controlled, there's no hope.
