Those who survive in contracts do not rely on flashy techniques. It is all about the plain and simple, yet brutally effective, few iron rules.



When I first entered the market, I only had 3000U and never thought about risking it all in one go. Trading can be bold, but your mind must stay clear. I divided my principal into 10 parts, investing only 300U per trade with 100x leverage. If the direction is right, I can double my money with just one point; if the direction is wrong? I exit immediately and never hold on stubbornly. The market is always right; the only one who can be wrong is myself.

I'm more ruthless about stop-loss than anyone else. I don't fantasize about rebounds, and I don't gamble on "maybe". When the market turns against you, every second you watch adds to your losses. So my stop-loss rule is simple: If there's an opportunity, take it and leave; if not, get out without hesitation.

There is another rule that has saved me countless times — if I lose five trades in a row, I directly stop trading. Turn off the computer, close the software, and leave the market. When emotions take over, you are not trading; you are simply giving away money. The next day, when I look at the market again, it often becomes clear.

Profits must be realized; this is the bottom line. Money earned that isn't withdrawn is just a number on the screen. When you take half of the profits into your wallet, you will truly understand what "real gold" means. Contracts don't rely on screenshots; they depend on whether you can continue to sit at this poker table.

I only do one thing: follow the trend. The trend is where the money flows, while the fluctuation is a meat grinder. If you can't see clearly, wait until the structure becomes clear before taking action. Don't be upset about missing out; as long as you're alive, there will be another wave.

I manage my positions strictly - never exceeding 10%. I use 300U to test the waters; if I make a mistake, I take responsibility, but I can afford the loss. Those who can truly make money in the long run are never the ones who go all in, but rather those who are disciplined and can survive. Contracts are a long-term war, not a get-rich-quick show.

When you engrave the rules in your mind and turn off your emotions, you will discover a truth: making money is just a byproduct. Staying alive is the real skill.

Alright, that's really true. I have a deep understanding of stop loss; it took dying once to understand it. --- Where are that batch of Full Position All in now, haha. --- It melted down after losing five consecutive trades; I need to remember this trick. --- "Being able to survive is the true skill," this sentence hits hard. --- From 3000U to now, discipline is really valuable. --- The trend is where money is given away; this saying is brilliant. --- Not mentioning profits is equivalent to not earning; I never thought about this before. --- 100 times leverage with 300U, the insights are really wild, dude. --- Getting carried away emotionally is just giving away money; that’s correct. --- The 10% Position hurdle, how many people can't get over it.

Stop loss is really the hardest, it's not a technical problem, it's psychological construction. It sounds good, but it's useless; the kingly way is to leave while alive. I need to learn this trick of directly triggering a circuit breaker after five consecutive losses, otherwise it's really easy to lose control. The money earned that is not pocketed is just an illusion, and this point is the most heartbreaking. Listening to the trend sounds simple, but how much patience is really needed to wait for opportunities to arise. Having a discipline of 10% position is indeed harsh, most people really can't do it. Contracts are a psychological battle, and technology is actually secondary.
