From losing money month after month to now being able to earn steadily, I want to be very straightforward—I’m not talking about talent, nor luck. Essentially, it’s about using the simplest, most executable, and most effective set of methods.

**Level One: Capital Must Be Preserved**

Many people ask me what my secret is. I tell them: don’t think about how much to earn first, think about how to survive.

The most beautiful strategy can be wiped out in one liquidation. So it must be done like this:

- Use 100,000 yuan as capital, and try with a maximum of 10,000 yuan each time
- Keep position size below 20%
- If you lose 2%, you must exit; don’t talk about “it might rebound”
- Beginners, listen to me: don’t touch leverage; veterans, don’t be greedy—10x leverage is already the limit

**Level Two: The Core Logic of Operation**

Less is more. Don’t think that more trades mean higher profits—actually, the opposite is true.

My approach is:

- Focus on long positions when going long, focus on short positions when going short, don’t swing between the two
- Set stop-loss at 3%, take-profit at 5%, and execute mechanically
- No more than 2 trades per day; quality over quantity

With this approach, earning 8% per month is possible, and with compound interest, by the end of the year, you can achieve over 150% returns.

**Level Three: Common Pitfalls for Beginners**

90% of people lose money, mainly due to these mistakes:

Counter-trend adding to positions is the deadliest move. When the market drops and you add to your position, you’re one step closer to liquidation. The last addition often marks the end.

Mindless trading is even more dangerous. Transaction fees eat up profits, often more than what you earn. Many people trade dozens of times a day, piling up costs, and profits vanish early.

Not taking profits is also a common fatal mistake. Making 5% and then trying to hold on, only for the market to reverse and wipe it all out.

**Compare with Reality**

Wrong approach: Fully loaded, 10x leverage, adding to positions as the market drops, ending in liquidation.

Correct approach: Use 20,000 yuan as a base, strictly follow 3% stop-loss and 5% take-profit, and only trade twice a week at high-quality levels. The result is steady profits.

**Expert Summary in a Few Words**

What to do: Use idle funds, stay disciplined, operate unilaterally

What not to do: Go all-in, hold stubbornly, operate in both directions simultaneously

**Final Words**

The futures market is not a gambling place; never use living expenses.

The secret to making big money is simple—stay alive long enough. Protect your principal, maintain your mindset, and stick to it for a year or two. You’ll see the power of compound interest. From losses to steady profits, every step isn’t complicated—it’s just about whether you’re willing to work honestly and diligently.
