#美国政府运作中断 started with 500U in 2017, and I have seen too many people disappear from this market.

When my friends keep getting liquidated, my account's maximum drawdown has always been kept within 8%. It's not because I'm lucky, but because I never considered myself a player from the very beginning.

Many people think that trading contracts is just about guessing whether prices will go up or down, but that is completely wrong. Those who truly last in this field are doing one thing: using certainty as a weapon.

**About the issue of withdrawal**

I have a strict rule - every time my profits reach 10% of the principal, I withdraw half of it on that day.

It's not that I don't believe in the market; it's that I don't trust my own greed. In five years, I've withdrawn 37 times, with the highest single withdrawal being 180,000 U. Once, the platform's risk control even called me to verify my identity, thinking there was an unusual operation.

This money should be kept in a cold wallet, untouched, unmoved, and unlooked at. Let it lie quietly; that is more important than anything else.

**Multi-period coordination is the basic skill**

I never make decisions based on a single time frame.

The daily chart determines the direction, the 4-hour chart sets the range, and the 15-minute chart finds the entry point. For the same asset, I will open positions in both directions—one betting on a breakout and one waiting for a pullback.

Each order's stop loss is set to 1.5% of the principal, while the take profit should achieve at least 5 times the space. Calculating this way, even if I make three consecutive mistakes, just one correct trade can completely offset the losses and still leave a profit.

**Stop-loss is a cost, not a failure**

I understand each stop-loss as a "ticket" — spending 1.5% to gain a chance to ride the main upward trend.

When the market goes well, move the stop profit to let the profit run; if it goes wrong, cut the position immediately, and never hesitate.

I have analyzed my own data: the win rate is only 38%, but the profit-loss ratio is stable at 4.8:1. This means that for every 1 dollar risked, I can earn nearly 5 dollars in return on average. If I can catch two decent trends in a year, the returns can outperform most financial products.

**A Few Habits to Survive**

Divide the funds into 10 parts, using a maximum of 1 part at a time; if there are two consecutive stop losses, take a break by shutting down, going for a run, or doing something else; withdraw 20% every time the account doubles and convert it into safe-haven assets like gold or U.S. bonds.

This market does not reward gamblers, it only rewards those who can endure.
