Starting from 3,000 yuan to 7 million, it's not because of being chosen by heaven, nor purely relying on luck. Frankly speaking, from that moment on, I finally kicked my deadly bad habit.



In the contract market, those who truly survive use very basic tactics, nothing fancy. Candle patterns, complex strategies—none of these are life-saving. The real life-savers are the simplest and most ruthless iron rules.

When I first started, I had only 3,000 yuan, never thought about going all-in to determine my life. Trading can be aggressive, but your mind must be clear.

So my approach is very simple and brutal: divide the capital into 10 parts for management, only use 300 yuan per trade, with 100x leverage. If the market moves in the right direction, a single point can double your profit; if it goes against you? Get out immediately, never hold on stubbornly.

I never go against the market. The market is the truth itself; I am always the one who is wrong. When it comes to stop-loss, I am colder than anyone. I don’t fantasize about rebounds, I don’t gamble on maybe; as soon as the market turns, even watching the screen for one more second is losing money.

My stop-loss philosophy is eight words: Exit when there's an opportunity, leave if it’s embarrassing.

There’s one more rule that has saved me countless times—after five consecutive losses, hit the pause button directly. Turn off the computer, exit the software, leave the trading interface. Because at that moment, you’re not trading; you’re giving money to the market. When you review the trend and structure the next day, you often understand everything.

The money I make must be withdrawn; keeping it in the account is just a digital illusion on the screen. Withdraw half to your wallet—that’s the real understanding of "actual profit."

I focus on one thing: riding the trend. The trend is the real money-making zone; ranging markets are like a meat grinder. When you don’t understand, wait. Wait until the structure becomes clear before entering. Missing one or two waves is no big deal; the key is to stay alive and walk out, so more opportunities will be in front of you.

I am very strict with position management. Never risk more than 10% of the account on a single trade; each trade’s maximum is just 300 yuan as a trial cost. I can accept trading failures, but losses are within controllable limits. Those who can make long-term profits are never gamblers who go all-in or bet everything; they are disciplined people who can survive until the end.

Contract trading is a marathon, not a stage for getting rich overnight. Embed the rules into your bones, turn off emotions completely, and you will find that making money is just a byproduct. True skill is being able to survive in this market continuously.

You're speaking harshly, but this is the kind of trader who has truly seen it all. Stopping after five consecutive losses can save a lot of people. If stop-loss feels embarrassing, then just get out. Yes, you hit the point. From 3,000 to 7 million, basically means just surviving. If you don't understand, don't enter. This advice is more valuable than any complex strategy. Profits are only real when withdrawn to your wallet; screen numbers are just illusions. Wake up, everyone. Those who go all-in haven't survived more than two rounds, not a single exception. Emotion is the biggest enemy in trading, no doubt. Trend markets will send money, while oscillations are a meat grinder. Positioning at the right level is key. Hold your position tightly, never risking more than 10% per trade. This is the secret to long-term profit.

It sounds good, but it's actually just gambler psychology disguised as financial management terminology.

Basically, living is even harder than making money itself.

Wow, this stop-loss philosophy is amazing: "Exit when there's an opportunity, and if you lose face, just get out." It really hit me deep.

You're not wrong; stopping losses really has to be done decisively.
