This is not about bragging rights, nor is it asking you to gamble. I just want to discuss a topic—contract trading, how retail traders should operate to truly put profits into their pockets. $CC
Eight years ago, I started with 3000U, back then I couldn’t even understand leverage multiples clearly, the candlestick charts looked a mess, and the whole process was just falling into traps → liquidation → falling into traps again, I blew up twice in total. Today, my account has reached eight figures, honestly it’s not because of my exceptional skills, but because I simply survived until now.
Later, I began to focus on one question: how to survive longer. $WIF
The method I figured out isn’t very complicated: Starting with 1000U capital, each position 100U, using 100x leverage. Sounds crazy, right? When making profits, a 1% price increase doubles the account; when losing, a single opposite K-line can wipe it out completely.
This extreme approach forced me to set five strict rules, which I haven’t broken over the years.
**Rule 1: Cut losses immediately when wrong.** Don’t dream of a rebound; the market will never sympathize with your desire to break even. Stop-loss isn’t surrender, it’s survival.
**Rule 2: Stop after 5 consecutive losses.** This indicates the market rhythm is off; stubbornly fighting only destroys your mindset. Close the software, get some sleep, and start fresh tomorrow.
**Rule 3: Withdraw once you make 500U.** The numbers on the screen are virtual; only real money in your account counts.
**Rule 4: Only trade in trending markets; during sideways ranges, prefer to short.** In a strong trend, 100x leverage is an amplifier; in sideways periods, 100x leverage becomes a harvester. When you can’t see the direction clearly, the smartest choice is to observe quietly.
**Rule 5: No single position should exceed 10% of your total capital.** Light positions keep your mindset stable; a stable mindset helps you stick to discipline.
Ultimately, contract trading isn’t a tool for getting rich quickly; it’s a screening mechanism—filtering out who can survive and who will be eaten by the market. Only engage in genuine trading, no empty talk.

To be honest, Rule 3 hits me the most. Many people just get stuck on the "screen numbers" level.

Living a long life is indeed more reliable than getting rich overnight, I agree with that.
---
Rule one is the most heartbreaking; really, the moment you cut your losses is the true test of human nature.
---
Playing with 100x leverage requires iron discipline, I have to admit.
---
Stop-loss is not giving up; it's survival—this phrase must be engraved in your mind.
---
Withdrawal rules are the core; no matter how big the account balance, you must cash out.
---
Stop after five consecutive mistakes; this methodology really protects your mindset.
---
Only trade in trending markets; stay silent during sideways movements. It sounds simple but is hard to do.
---
Turning 8 figures from 3000U, incredible—this is the power of compound interest over time.
---
A light position with a calm mindset is understood by everyone, but few can truly do it.
---
The market is like a sieve, filtering out those who survive; this analogy is excellent.

I agree with Rule 5; the others are probably just survivor bias.
