Speaking of the expected returns from contract trading, my experience might be quite sobering. Since opening a position on September 5, 2024, with an initial capital of 2000U, my account profit has just surpassed 300U, which translates to a little over 1x return.

Sometimes people ask me about my position size, and some even spend just 10U to take a quick look and try to catch the bottom—bro, are you sure you can see through this market noise?

The easiest trap to fall into when doing contracts is blindly chasing the trend. The market is indeed full of stories about hundreds of times returns, but those are usually survivor bias. Instead of wandering aimlessly, it's better to handle each trade steadily. Stable small gains are more reliable than going all-in on high-leverage bets once.
