The two sides of life and death in Futures Trading: Some get liquidated in an instant, while others steadily rise from 1800U to 80,000U - the difference lies not in luck, but in discipline.

Traders who survive in this market never rely on fancy tricks. All methods that can consistently make money are, to put it bluntly, just some unremarkable iron rules.

My initial capital was only 1800U, but I never thought about going all in. No matter how aggressive the strategy, one must stay calm. My approach is very simple: divide the principal into 10 parts, invest only 18U per order, and use 100x leverage. If the direction is right by one point, it can double; if the direction is wrong, exit immediately—no fantasizing about rebounds, no bargaining.

I never negotiate with the market. The market is always right, and losing money only indicates that my judgment is wrong. When it comes to stop-loss, I am more ruthless than anyone else. As soon as the market turns, watching for even one more second can double the loss. So my stop-loss rule is simple: if there is an opportunity, get out, and don't give it a chance to rebound.

There is another rule that has saved my life countless times: if you lose 5 consecutive trades, directly trigger the circuit breaker, close the software, and walk away. Once emotions come into play, you are no longer trading, but just throwing away money. The next day when you look at the market, the structure is often clear at a glance. By then, it's too late to regret.

Profit must be in real cash. Account numbers don't count - they are just virtual images on the screen. True earning is withdrawing half of the profits into the wallet; only what you can touch is considered "real money". In Futures Trading, it's not about who can take screenshots and brag, but rather who can survive longer and continue sitting at the game table.

I only do one thing: follow the trend. The trend is where the money is made, while the consolidation is a meat grinder. If you don't understand, just wait until the structure is clear before entering the market. It's okay to miss a wave of the market; as long as you're alive, you can wait for the next wave.

Position management is crucial. Always keep it within 10%, using only 20U for each trial and error. If I make a mistake, I can absorb this loss, but I can afford such a loss.

Truly long-term profitable traders are never those who go all-in with full positions. Their only common trait is discipline; they can survive and make it to the end.

Futures Trading is a long-term battle, not a get-rich-quick show. When you engrave these rules in your mind and completely turn off your emotions, you'll notice an interesting phenomenon — making money is just something that happens along the way. The real skill is to survive in this market long enough.
