Honestly, I'm not here to show off my account, I just want to honestly talk about how to play high leverage contracts to survive longer.

Eight years ago, I entered this circle with $4,200. Back then, I didn't even know where the leverage was, and candlestick charts were just a fog. Now, my account has a steady eight-figure balance. Looking back at those awkward times, I feel a mix of emotions. But to be honest, none of this was luck; it was because I later figured out a survival strategy.

I started testing with $1,000 as capital, investing only $200 per trade to do 100x contracts. For coins like $XRP and $BNB, when the market is good, a 1% move can double your money, but if things go wrong, you can be wiped out overnight. So I’ve summarized these five bottom lines, and now I share them with you.

**1. Cut immediately at the stop-loss level.** Don’t think about holding on for a rebound; the market won’t wait for you. I’ve blown two accounts early on, thinking I could hold out and break even, but it only led to bigger losses. When you hit your stop-loss, get out. Staying alive is the key to the next opportunity. Fighting the market is pointless.

**2. Stop after five consecutive wrong trades.** Sometimes the market is like a headless fly, darting around wildly. Forcing trades during this time will only ruin your mindset. I set a rule for myself—after five consecutive losses, I close the software and take a break. Usually, the next day, I look back and realize those losses were already recovered.

**3. Withdraw after earning $500.** The numbers on the screen are just virtual. The market can turn around faster than flipping a page. Every time I make a profit of $500, I withdraw at least half. Only when the money hits my account do I consider it a real win.

**4. Only trade in one-sided trends; pause during consolidation.** When the trend is clear, 100x leverage can send you to the moon; but during sideways movement, that leverage becomes a knife cutting your position. If there’s no clear direction, better to stay out and avoid impulsive trades.

**5. Never risk more than 10% of your capital on a single trade.** Never go all-in like a gambler. Keeping a small position helps you stay rational during volatile markets. Going all-in is like stuffing ten plates on a buffet—eventually, it’ll make you uncomfortable.

Play it this way, with stability first.
