Contracts are brutal – they can turn your fortunes overnight, but they can also force you to a dead end. I tried with 3000U and ended up with 300,000U. But this isn't a story about luck; it's a story about rules.

Traders who survive in the futures market never rely on any profound techniques. They solely depend on a few simple yet deadly rules.

At the beginning, I didn't plan to gamble my life on 3000U. The strategy can be aggressive, but one must keep a clear mind. I divided my capital into 10 parts, and each trade only uses 30U with 100x leverage. If the direction is right, one point can double; if the direction is wrong, exit immediately without holding on.

It sounds simple, but it's a nightmare to execute. I never challenge the market. The market is always right; the only one who can be wrong is me.

When it comes to stop-loss, I am more decisive than anyone else. I don’t harbor illusions of a rebound, nor do I care about those self-deceiving thoughts of "maybe I can break even." When the market turns against you, every extra second spent is a loss. When I was trading ETH, I summed it up in one sentence: if given the chance, exit gracefully; if not, withdraw decisively. No exceptions.

There is another rule that has saved me countless times. If I lose five consecutive trades, I immediately trigger a "circuit breaker": shut down the computer, uninstall the software, and completely exit the market. This is not an exaggeration. Once emotions get out of control, you are no longer trading, but rather giving money to the market. By the next day when I check the market again, many times the market structure becomes clear.

Profits must be realized, that's the bottom line. If the money earned is not withdrawn, it's just a numerical illusion on the screen. My habit is to withdraw half of the profits into my wallet every time. Only the money that is truly in hand is considered my own.

Whether it's BTC or SOL, I only adhere to one principle: go with the trend. The place where money is made is in the trend, while the consolidation period is a meat grinder. When I can't understand the market, I will wait patiently until the structure is clear before taking action. Missing an opportunity is not scary; being alive means there will be another chance.

Position management is very strict for me: I will never exceed 10% of the total capital. I will risk 30U for trial and error, and if I make a mistake, I accept it, but I will never incur more losses.

Contracts are never a stage for overnight wealth, but rather a long-term battle. Those who can truly make stable profits are not the gamblers who go all in. They are the ones who have internalized the trading rules and can manage their emotions.

When you turn off your emotions and stick to discipline, making money becomes a byproduct. Being able to stay at the poker table without losing your cool is the real skill.

Once I stumbled around in the dark, but now the light in my hand is always shining.
