Contracts can make you rich overnight, or turn around and crush you into debt. But some people have turned 3,000U into 300,000U.

To put it simply, traders who survive in contracts never rely on fancy tricks. It’s always some seemingly rustic but deadly strict rules.

Taking BTC as an example, I never thought that 3,000U would determine life or death in one shot. The approach can be aggressive, but your mind must be clear. Divide the principal into 10 parts, invest only 30U per trade, and use 100x leverage. If the direction is correct, a single K-line doubles your money. If the direction is wrong? Get out immediately, don’t stay for any rebound fantasies. I never argue with the market about right or wrong— the market is always right. My stop-loss always follows one principle: if there’s an opportunity, exit; don’t get emotionally attached.

When the market turns against you in a second, the more you watch, the more you lose. Five consecutive losses trigger a circuit breaker; close the software and exit because at that point, you’re not trading anymore — you’re throwing money into the fire. The next day, calm down and review; market structure is often painfully clear.

Profit must be realized—this is the bottom line. Making 3,000U but not withdrawing is just a number on the screen. Withdraw half to your wallet, and you’ll understand what real is. Contracts don’t have screenshots, only whether the account is still there or not.

I only do one thing: follow the trend. The trend is a money-printing machine; oscillations are a meat grinder. If you don’t understand, wait. Don’t act until the structure is clear. Missing out isn’t scary; staying alive is what matters for the next wave. Keep your position within 10%, try only 30U per mistake, accept losses when wrong, but I can afford to lose that amount.

Those who can make money long-term are not the ones going all-in, but the disciplined ones who can survive. Contracts are a long-term battle, not a show of quick riches. When rules become instinct and emotions are shut off, you’ll realize a truth: making money is just a byproduct; surviving is the real skill.

Stop-loss is a lifesaver; if you don't use it, you're just waiting to die. Losing 5 consecutive trades and hitting a circuit breaker—if you lack self-control like that, you deserve to be wiped out. The numbers on the screen are not money; only withdrawals count. That statement really hits home. Don't make reckless moves in front of a trend; bet proportionally. Staying alive is the most valuable. Going from 3,000 to 300,000 sounds great, but 99% of people can't even protect their principal. I've also tried full position, and ended up back to square one overnight. Now, strictly controlling my position makes me sleep well. Contracts are a psychological battle; rules > skills > luck. Don't get the order mixed up. Half-hearted advice is useless; otherwise, you're just chasing illusions.

Being able to stay alive is the real skill, this statement hits hard. How many people have lost because of greed. Going all-in for the thrill, bankruptcy is the cremation ground. Truly. Stop-loss is not giving up, it's giving yourself a chance to survive to the next wave. If you hit the circuit breaker after losing 5 consecutive trades and exit, that takes a lot of heart. But that's the difference between winners and cannon fodder. The money on the screen doesn't count; only withdrawing to your wallet counts as real gold and silver. Using 100x leverage with $30 for trial and error, this ratio is indeed a textbook balance of greed and caution. If you don't understand, just wait. It's a hundred times smarter than reckless operation.

Sounds good, but how many can really do it? I've seen too many people claiming "Risk Control First" and then going all-in with full positions. They talk about discipline in stop-loss every day, but as soon as there's a rebound, they get soft. I've heard the story of turning $3,000 into $300,000 a hundred times, but the numbers in the account never lie. The key is that 10% position management—sounds simple, but executing it truly requires iron will.

Stop-loss lack of execution, the account will eventually be wiped out by the market. --- This guy is right, the key is just two words—survive. Those who were fully invested have long been out. --- The most timid thing in contracts isn't losing money, it's making a profit and still reluctant to cash out. The numbers on the screen are just a joke. --- After losing 5 consecutive trades, you should cut your losses. Still dreaming of a rebound? Purely brainless. --- If your trend judgment is wrong, get out immediately. No shame in that. Holding on stubbornly is actually the way of the loser. --- Try to keep your position within 10% for trial and error—that's proper trading logic, nothing too mysterious. --- Wait, did that 3,000 grow to 300,000 and actually settle? If you haven't withdrawn, it's all just show.
