Turning 3,000 yuan into 7 million sounds like a fairy tale, but I dare say it's not some divine luck at all—it's simply the moment I finally learned to keep my mouth shut and not "play stupid."



In the contract market, the people who survive, look at their tactics—each one more straightforward than the last, no fancy tricks—just embedding a few ironclad rules into their minds and executing them ruthlessly.

When I first started, I had only 3,000 yuan, but I never thought of going all-in to determine life or death. You can be aggressive, but your mind must stay clear.

The core approach is this: divide your capital into 10 parts, invest only 300 yuan per trade, and use 100x leverage. If the direction is correct, just one point can double your money; if wrong, get out immediately—never hope for a rebound.

I never try to reason with the market; the market is never wrong. The only mistake is mine. Once you understand this, stop-loss becomes super simple—no waiting for "maybe," no hoping for a rebound. When the trend turns against you, cut your losses immediately. If you stay optimistic for one more second, your loss doubles—that's no joke.

My stop-loss logic is very straightforward: exit at the first sign of trouble, giving myself no retreat.

There's also one rule that has saved me countless times: after 5 consecutive losses, trigger a circuit breaker—close the trading app, leave the screen, and completely step away for the whole day. When you're emotional, you're not trading; you're just giving money to the market. Calm down overnight, then look at the K-line trend. The structure often becomes shockingly clear.

Profits must be withdrawn—this is my bottom line. Making money and leaving it in the account is just a numbers game on the screen. Actually withdrawing the money to your wallet is when you truly understand what real gains are.

The trading logic is simple: follow the big trend. Trending markets are like a printing press; choppy markets are like a meat grinder. If you don't understand, stop and wait. Wait until the structure is clear enough before taking action. Missing a wave isn't scary; staying alive is what matters so you can catch the next one.

Regarding position sizing, I keep it very strict: never exceed 10% of total funds. Trying out 300 yuan for mistakes is acceptable; losing that much is manageable and recoverable. Those who make long-term money in this market are never the ones going all-in on every trade, but disciplined traders who can stick around and survive.

The contract market is a long-term war, not a show of quick riches. Embed the rules into your mind, turn off emotional interference, and you'll gradually realize that making money is just a side effect. The real skill is being able to stay alive in this market.

Stop-loss is truly a matter of life and death. I've seen too many people die over the words "just wait a little longer," with their accounts wiped out completely.

You're right, discipline is life-saving money. I used to go all-in with full positions too, until a huge loss made me realize that "staying alive is more important than making money." Trying out with 300 bucks is indeed fun; only those who can afford to lose can sleep peacefully. This way of thinking sounds easy, but actually holding back is the real skill. I respect most the ones who hit the circuit breaker and exit after losing 5 consecutive trades; most people die trying for "one more shot." The bottom line of withdrawal hits home—how many people see millions in their accounts but end up running away with nothing. If you don't understand, just wait. This saying is valuable.

To be honest, the last sentence really hit me—being alive is the real skill; everything else is just superficial.

Stop-loss is easy to talk about, but how many can really execute it? A continuous loss of 5 trades triggers a circuit breaker. I need to learn this move; it's much clearer than those lunatics staring at the screen all day. Trying with 300 bucks is still a bit conservative. The key is discipline, isn't it? Not withdrawing after making a profit is self-deception. I’ve fallen for this before. Waiting when you don’t understand something has awakened me. It’s not always about bottom fishing to win.

That's right, being alive is the hard truth. Those who went all-in with full positions have long turned to dust.

Another "childhood to adulthood" story, it looks satisfying but hearing it too often can get boring. I agree with stop-loss, but do you really dare to gamble with 100x leverage? Anyway, I don't believe in these; the market loves confident people. They're all right, but when it comes to execution, I simply can't do it. I am a living example. Trying repeatedly with 300 yuan sounds comfortable, but once you start making money, who can resist adding to their position? That's the real devil. I respect the point about withdrawals; many people fall into the trap of "the numbers in the account don't count." People who go all-in and gamble often die quickly, but cautious people also die slowly—it's just a matter of time.

Based on on-chain transaction data analysis, the risk management framework in this narrative is indeed worth noting—the 10% position cap threshold precisely aligns with the optimal risk exposure standard proposed in the Bankless research report. However, it is important to note that the extreme parameter of 100x leverage has a trigger probability of as high as 67.3% in historical liquidation events, which presents a logical tension with the statement of "surviving" in the text.

That's right, but I've heard too many stories from 3,000 to 7 million, and in the end, those same people are back to negative numbers again.
