After so many years of trading contracts, I have found a pattern - those who can truly make money from the market never rely on advanced strategies; they simply stick to discipline.



My starting point is very simple, which is 3000U. How to play? Divide this amount into 10 parts, using only 300U each time with 100 times leverage, and the position should never exceed 10%. Sounds conservative? But that's how I steadily made it to 7 million.

The key points are:

**When the trend comes, get in without hesitation.** Once the market becomes clear, open positions in the direction of the trend. Even if it only rises by 1 point, with leverage, it can double your space. But the prerequisite is that the direction must be clear; I never touch uncertain markets.

**Admit defeat immediately when you judge it wrong.** This is the hardest step. Most people fantasize about a rebound and stubbornly hold onto their positions, but I never do. Once the stop-loss line is triggered, I close my position and leave; the market is always right, and wrestling against the trend will only lead to self-destruction. To be frank, hesitating for even a second can double your losses, so stop-loss must be decisive.

**Five consecutive losses lead to an immediate shutdown.** This is called a circuit breaker mechanism. Once I experience consecutive losses, my approach is to stop immediately, close the software, and leave the trading platform. Emotions can drive people to make crazy decisions; returning the next day with a calm mindset often allows for a clearer understanding of the structure.

**Floating profits are fake; only withdrawals count.** The numbers on the books can be deceiving. Every time I make a profit, I withdraw 50% into a cold wallet, securing the gains. The remaining amount is what I continue to roll.

The futures market is not a place to get rich quickly; it is a long-term war of attrition. I avoid choppy markets and only engage in opportunities where the trend is clear and the win rate is defined. When discipline is ingrained in you and emotions are completely suppressed, you will understand: making money is actually just a byproduct; being able to stay at the poker table without being eliminated is true skill.

No one in the crypto circle can make it alone. Finding the right direction and following experienced people to clarify your thoughts is the only way to move forward steadily.

That's right, discipline is indeed fundamental. However, going from 3000U to 7 million, that multiple still sounds like a distant dream, doesn't it? How much luck would it take to achieve that steadily?

You are right, but most people can't sit still at all; they start to increase the position chaotically after losing 3 trades.

It sounds like living is what makes money, and those who hold a losing position have become martyrs.

actually the sharpe ratio on this strategy is basically negative when you account for funding rates and exchange spreads. 3000u to 7m with 100x leverage? *sigh* that's not discipline, that's survivorship bias dressed up as methodology.

It sounds like the trap of strictly adhering to discipline; it's correct in theory, but how many people can actually execute it?
