Contract trading is like walking a tightrope—one misstep and you'll fall into an abyss, but if you walk carefully, you can see the most spectacular scenery.

When I first got into contracts, I was holding 8000U, full of dreams of "small investments for big gains." As a result, I immediately used 100x leverage; when the market moved slightly, in less than ten minutes, half of my funds vanished into thin air.

At that moment, I froze in front of the screen, eyes stinging from the red text, heartbeat pounding like drums, and my mind went completely blank. I realized then that liquidation is never an accident but the harshest lesson the market gives to beginners.

Since that day, I started to truly respect the market. Gradually, I realized a key shift: contracts are not gambling; they are an art of risk management.

I've seen too many people stumble here. Some get a little profit and become cocky, thinking they are "genius traders," only to frequently trade recklessly and get liquidated again and again; others lose so much they can't sleep, staring at the screen until 4 or 5 a.m., eventually consumed by anxiety and frustration.

What about those who truly make steady money? Most of the time, they are "waiting"—70% of the time in flat positions observing, only entering precisely 30% of the time, capturing all profits in a single market move.

Last year's SOL rally, I relied on the BOLL indicator to make precise judgments. While others danced around the candlesticks, I studied the rhythm behind the indicators: Bollinger Bands contracting inward indicated the market was quietly gathering strength; suddenly expanding volume was a sign of an imminent breakout.

I built positions in the lower band in batches, with stop-loss tightly set at previous lows, and earned thirty times in three weeks. This is not luck; it's discipline.

To this day, I adhere to three iron rules: never lose more than 2% on a single trade, make no more than two trades per day, and once floating profit reaches 50%, immediately set a breakeven stop-loss. These seemingly "rigid" rules are actually my true protective armor in the market.

The market isn't short of brave warriors charging ahead; what it lacks are those who can survive and protect their principal.

If you're still trading driven by emotions, being led around by the market, maybe it's time to pause. To double your gains in contracts, the prerequisite is to first learn not to get liquidated. Replace impulsiveness with discipline, patience with opportunity—this is the right way to open the door.
