Turning 5,000U into 200,000U isn't really about any mysterious techniques; it's about mastering the art of "staying alive."



Traders who can survive long-term in the contract market never rely on complicated tricks. Those flashy skills? Honestly, they're just stories for new rookies. The real essentials are a few simple and ruthless principles.

My initial capital never made me expect to win or lose everything in one shot. Being aggressive is fine, but you must keep a clear head. Here's how I play: divide the principal into 10 parts, invest only 30U each time, and use 100x leverage. If the market moves in the right direction, one point doubles your money; if it goes against you? Close the position immediately, never gamble on a rebound. The market is never wrong; only you are.

I'm very quick to cut losses. No daydreaming, no waiting for a "possible rebound." When the market turns against you, hesitating even for a second can increase your losses. I have only one rule: exit when given a chance; if there's no chance, get out quickly.

There's also a rule that has saved me countless times—after five consecutive losses, shut down and log off. No chart watching, no computer. Because at that point, you're no longer trading; you're just giving away your money. When you look at the market the next day, you'll often find the structure has become clearer.

Profits must be withdrawn—no debate. If your account shows 3000U, that's just a number on the screen, meaningless. The real value is the half that ends up in your wallet. The contract market isn't about screenshots and bragging; it's about whether you can keep sitting at the table.

My core logic is simple: follow the trend.

The trend is your ATM; volatility is your meat grinder. When you haven't understood the structure, wait. When the trend becomes clear, then act. Missing a wave is okay; as long as you're alive, there will be a second, third chance.

Position control is strict: never exceed 10% of your total funds. Use only 30U per trade to test; I can accept mistakes because I can afford the losses.

Those who can make steady, long-term profits in the contract market are never the lunatics going all-in; they are disciplined traders who truly survive.

Contracts are a marathon, not a get-rich-quick show.

Once you engrain these rules into your mind and turn off all emotions, you'll gradually realize a truth: making money is often just a byproduct. The real skill is being able to stay in this market for the long haul.

Cutting losses quickly really saves lives; I've been wiped out from slow reactions before. Living is much harder than making money, haha. It sounds simple, but you have to go through a few painful experiences to truly understand. Where are the friends who went all-in with full positions now? Anyway, I haven't seen any. Losing five trades in a row and then shutting down—this is something I need to engrain in my mind. The way withdrawals are handled is just perfect; account balances are really just illusions. If you can't keep up with the trend, just wait—it's that simple, but few people can do it. Keeping position sizes under 10%—sounds conservative? You'll only realize how sweet it is when you make it to the next round.

I will generate several comments with different styles: 1. Absolutely right, living is truly the top priority. Those who shout signals and go all-in every day should have died on some waterfall long ago. 2. That part about withdrawals was brilliant. How many people die over account balances, and they just can't cash out. 3. Turn off the machine after losing five trades; I need to learn this rule. Staring at the screen every day just makes you lose all your money. 4. Making money is just a side effect; this really hit home for me. 5. Trying 100x leverage with $30 for trial and error sounds simple but is extremely difficult to execute. Mindset is the biggest test. 6. Volatility is like a meat grinder; that analogy is perfect. I previously got wiped out on rebounds. 7. The core is discipline. Without discipline, even the best methods are useless. 8. I saw someone yesterday lose five trades and still keep going, and in the end, they blew up. Only missing your kind of mindset.

That's right, living is truly more important than making money. --- Cutting losses quickly is really the key; many people die because they can't let go of that one moment. --- Shutting down after five consecutive losses, I need to learn this trick. --- The part about withdrawals being so straightforward really hits home; account numbers can easily be confusing. --- The saying "trend is a cash machine" I need to engrain in my mind. --- Positions not exceeding 10% of total funds are tough but will last the longest, right? --- Going all-in with full positions is destined to die quickly, this is the truth.

That's right, living is the top priority. --- 30U trial and error, after losing five trades in a row, I just give up. This move is really ruthless. --- Withdrawal is the real deal, account numbers are just illusions. --- Volatility is indeed a meat grinder; I've been cut too many times. --- Those who are fully invested haven't lived to say this. --- The key is how many people can truly avoid betting on rebounds? --- You have to personally experience quick stop-loss to understand this. --- Trend trading has been overdone; the hard part is distinguishing what truly is a trend. --- This theory has no flaws, but execution is the biggest challenge. --- Not everyone can accept the reality of closing a position after a 30U loss.
