Many people ask me how I turned 3,000U into 280,000U. To be honest, this is not something achieved by luck, but rather a set of trading rules summarized after countless losses and adjustments. Contract trading can indeed amplify profits quickly, but the prerequisite is that you have a set of repeatable and executable rules. My core idea is: start with 300U as initial capital, divide it into ten parts, each 30U, and operate with 100x leverage. If the direction is correct, a one-point move can double the profit; if wrong, cut losses immediately. It sounds simple, but actual execution requires strong psychological resilience.

The key is to stick to these bottom lines:

**First: Stop-loss must be rigid**

Once floating losses reach the preset stop-loss level, no matter how much you believe the market will rebound, you must decisively close the position. This is the hardest rule because people tend to hold onto illusions. But market reality is often more brutal than imagination. Preserving capital is always more valuable than waiting for a possible rebound. It’s painful to be forced to stop-loss, but that’s the price you pay to stay in the game.

**Second: When you keep making mistakes, let go**

When the market is uncertain, the more you trade, the easier it is to make errors. I set a simple rule for myself: after five consecutive losses, immediately close the trading interface and take a day or a few days off. This is not cowardice, but clarity. Often, after a break, the market’s direction becomes clearer, providing a better entry point. Emotional state directly affects decision quality; a forced cooling-off period is actually self-protection.

**Third: Withdraw regularly**

The numbers in your account are just paper wealth; until you transfer funds to your wallet or bank card, there’s a risk of evaporation. My habit is to withdraw at least half once floating profits reach around 3000U. The benefit is that it makes you feel more secure and allows you to realize tangible gains. Many people refuse to withdraw, and in the end, a black swan event causes them to give everything back.

**Fourth: Trade only in trends**

This is crucial. In a trending market, high leverage is a powerful tool to amplify profits; but in a choppy range, the same leverage becomes a meat grinder. During sideways oscillations, rather than trading frequently and getting repeatedly slapped, it’s better to stay out and wait. When the trend truly emerges and the direction becomes clear, then take action. Patience in staying out beats being passively hit a hundred times.

**Fifth: Position size has a ceiling**

Never let a single position exceed 10% of your total capital. I stick to a 30U per trade scale. The advantage is maintaining a stable mindset and avoiding chaos from one or two losses. Many people get wiped out by going all-in, hoping for a quick turnaround, but end up blowing up their account. Keeping positions light makes your decision-making clearer; with a calm mind, you can see the market logic more clearly.

In the end, contract trading is not gambling but a contest of discipline and mindset. The market fluctuates daily, offering opportunities every day, but only those prepared and disciplined will seize them. These five rules are not some profound theories; they are live lessons learned from losses. The pain of blowing up your account will make you remember these rules forever. If you also want to steadily accumulate in this market, try integrating these disciplines into every leveraged operation.
