I turned 3,000U of principal into 200,000U, but this is not a legendary story, nor is it luck that made it happen. Honestly, the turning point was the moment I completely changed those suicidal operations.
In the contract market, those who make it to the end never rely on fancy tricks. Those seemingly old-fashioned rules? They are actually the real ruthless survival principles.
I never intended to go all-in from the start. This may sound conservative, but a clear mind is worth much more than aggressive tactics. My approach was to split the principal into 10 parts, investing only 30U per trade, with 100x leverage. Simple, right? But this logic has saved me countless times.
If the direction is correct, one point can double your money. What if the direction is wrong? Immediately exit, never hold on stubbornly. I never argue with the market — it’s always right, and the mistake is always mine. This realization changed everything.
Stop-loss has always been a cold-blooded rule for me. No fantasies of rebounds, no hopes or guesses. When the market suddenly changes, a one-second delay could double your losses. My stop-loss principle is straightforward: exit when there’s an opportunity, and leave when there’s no room.
Another life-saving rule: after five consecutive losses, stop immediately. Turn off the computer, exit the software, and leave the market. Many people don’t understand this, thinking it’s too negative. But when your emotions are out of control, trading becomes just giving away money. When you look at the market the next day, the structure often becomes clear.
Profits must be secured — that’s an iron law. Not withdrawing after earning 3000U? That’s just numbers on the account. My approach is to withdraw half to my wallet, so I truly understand what real money is. Contract market screenshots can’t prove strength; staying at the table consistently is the real skill.
My trading logic is simple: follow the trend. The trend is an ATM, while oscillations are a meat grinder. If you don’t understand, be patient and wait. Enter only when the trend is clear. Missing an opportunity isn’t a loss; staying alive is what matters for the future.
I never compromise on position control — never exceed 10%. Try with 30U, admit defeat if wrong, but I can afford to lose. Those who can make long-term profits are never the ones betting everything on a full position, but disciplined traders who can survive.
The contract market is a prolonged battle, not a show of getting rich overnight. When you keep these rules in mind and keep your emotions out, you will gradually realize a truth: making money is just a natural result, and the real skill is to keep surviving.

That's correct, but 99% of people can't even stop after losing five trades in a row, which is the hardest part.

It sounds good, but is it really that simple to go from 3,000 to 200,000? I feel like the keywords are all correct, but when I review, something still feels missing.
I admit I can't match the execution of stop-loss, I always want to wait a bit longer and end up getting wiped out.
I need to remember the rule of stopping after five consecutive losses, I've realized this after too many emotional breakdowns.
I agree on withdrawals; the account numbers have deceived me several times.
Seeing you stay so calm, is it really disciplined or survivor bias?
People holding full positions are mostly just there to set the scene, no problem with that.

Stopping after five consecutive losses, I agree with that. But 100x leverage at 30U... can you really sleep peacefully?

Listen, this explanation is nothing new. I've been working with contracts for so long that these ironclad rules are already well known.
I agree with stopping immediately after five consecutive losses, mainly to prevent emotions from hijacking your fingers.
But bro, you’re risking 30U with 100x leverage? This move is great in a bull market, but in a bear market, it can wipe you out instantly. Sometimes "surviving" is just a matter of luck.
The real secret? No secret at all—just stay alive and don’t do stupid things.
I’ve added to my position in this wave of market movement, waiting for a rebound.

Surviving is really much harder than making money
---
Basically, it's about mindset. Most people lose because of their emotions
---
Stop after five consecutive losses, I need to learn this
---
It looks simple, but few people actually execute it
---
Withdrawing is absolutely crucial; account numbers can easily deceive oneself
---
Using 100x leverage with 30U, it looks very restrained
---
I must remember the phrase: "The trend is a cash machine"
---
The key is to survive; everything else is nonsense
---
Everyone holding full positions should take a look at this
