The secret to making money in Futures Trading has never been about a single turnaround, but rather about surviving long enough.
I started with a capital of 3000U, not by going all in, but by dividing it into 10 parts. Each trade only invests 30U, with 100x leverage. If the direction is correct, it doubles with a one-point move; if the direction is wrong, I decisively cut my losses. Many people find this exaggerated, but this is the entire secret of rolling from 5000U to 200,000U.
The most critical point in trading: never argue with the market. The market is always right, only we can be wrong. I never fantasize about a rebound, nor do I gamble on "maybe" it will reverse. When the market turns against you, losses double, and the only choice at that moment is to cut losses—leave without giving it a chance, roll out without giving it face.
This sounds harsh, but it is precisely the difference between those who survive and those who go bankrupt. The rule I set for myself is simple: if I lose five consecutive trades, I will directly cut off, close the software, and exit the market. At this point, emotions are already out of control, and continuing to trade is not trading anymore; it’s just giving away money.
By the next day, when you calm down and look again, the market structure often becomes clear, allowing you to seize better opportunities. The profits earned must be cashed out in a timely manner. When it reaches 3000U, I will withdraw half into my wallet; that money counts as "real money". The numbers on the screen are just numbers; only what you withdraw is truly yours.
The core of Futures Trading is actually one thing: follow the trend. The trend is where the money flows, while the oscillation is a meat grinder. If you don't understand the market, just wait; get on board when the structure is clear. Missing a wave is not a big deal; as long as you're alive, there will be another opportunity.
My principle for position management is very rigid: never exceed 10%. I try 30U each time, and if I lose, I take responsibility for it, but I can afford to lose this amount. Those who can consistently make money in the market are never the ones who go all in; rather, it's the disciplined individuals who can survive and understand risk control.
Bitcoin has ample liquidity, but the risks of leveraged contracts are equally significant. Futures Trading is a long-term track, not a stage for getting rich quickly. When you engrave these rules in your mind and completely turn off your emotions, you will realize that making money is actually a byproduct—true skill is being able to survive.

I agree that living longer is important, but stories like turning 3000U into 200,000 are just for listening. I've seen too many people shouting about stop loss rules in the moment, only to get shaky hands and go all in again.

It has been proven that 100x leverage can really save lives; the key is to understand the risk control architecture design... I need to test the logic of this position management protocol.
---
The mechanism of stopping trading after five consecutive losses is somewhat like the fail-safe design of smart contracts, preventing emotional trading attack vectors.
---
The phrase "the numbers on the screen are just numbers" hits the mark; the true verifiability of assets must be on-chain.
---
The technical details of trend recognition are the core, right? How do we quantify the judgment criteria between oscillation vs trend?
---
From 3000U to 200,000U, this data link needs to be reviewed... What is the real feedback from each key node?
---
The gap between Full Position All in and risk control is essentially a reliability issue of executing discipline.
---
Not fantasizing about a rebound means, simply put, not going against the real signals of the market, which is very Web3 philosophy.

You're absolutely right, living long is way better than going all in.
I have a deep understanding of stop loss, as I previously turned a small profit into a big loss just because I couldn't bear to cut loss.
The setting to stop trading after five consecutive losses is brilliant, I do it that way now too.
The numbers on the screen are indeed fake, withdrawing is real money.
It's true that following the trend is crucial; many people have died in the fluctuations without any statistics.
If position management is done well, your mindset can improve significantly.
Are those who went all in still crying in the group?
Turn off the emotions, stick to the rules, and you can indeed live longer.
