Contract trading essentially boils down to two paths: long or short. Even if you pick randomly with your eyes closed, the long-term win rate can approach 50%—this is an objective fact determined by mathematics.

Where is the real breakthrough? Learning. Spend half a year thoroughly studying trading books and building your own trading system. You don't need to pursue a high win rate; just win 1% more than guessing blindly, reaching 51% is enough. More importantly, manage your profits and losses well—set a stop-loss and take-profit ratio exceeding 1:1.5, meaning cut losses at 1 unit lost, and take profits at 1.5 units gained. This way, even with a win rate of only 40%, you won't lose money; a 50% win rate can lead to stable profits.

Here's a practical example: short-term trading on 5-minute charts, 5 trades per day, completing 100 trades in 20 days. Based on a 1:1.5 profit-loss ratio and 50% win rate, you can achieve a 50% increase in 20 days. Starting with a capital of 1,000 USD, if you stick to this pace, you'll break 1 million in about 240 days. Even with a profit-loss ratio of only 1:1, maintaining a 51% win rate can make you profitable in three years.

Risk management is also crucial. With a 1:1.5 profit-loss ratio and 50% win rate, the probability of a margin call when using 10x leverage and full position is only 0.8%. A 1% increase in win rate through learning can completely avoid this risk, provided you strictly follow the take-profit and stop-loss rules without softening.

This logical approach has been verified through live trading. If you're looking for shortcuts, don't come. But if you want to master the fundamentals and earn steady money with a guaranteed winning method, let's do it together.

It sounds wonderful, but how many actually follow through? I've seen too many people who are great at calculating, but their mindset collapses as soon as they face real trading. That's right, the key is discipline and execution. Most people fail at the stop-loss step. This mathematical model sounds flawless, but the problem is human nature... a 50% win rate can't be maintained. Haha, another "as long as you do this well, you can make a profit" plan. Why do I find it so unconvincing? Real trading validation ≠ stable profits. The market changes so quickly; can history really be reproduced? Reliable analysis, but it seems to omit one key word—luck. The stop-loss and take-profit ratios are indeed crucial; it all depends on who can really stick to it. Recalling my painful lesson from last year, the theory is fine, but I wasn't clear-headed during trading. A 51% win rate doesn't sound like much, but sticking to it for 240 days is really tough. I've heard this logic countless times; successful people are rare. Why are so many still entering the market?

Listen, I agree with everything, but I just want to ask one question: can you really stick to your stop-loss execution? --- A 51% win rate sounds simple, but in actual operation, the psychological barrier is really hard to overcome. --- Mathematically, there's no problem, but it's human nature that worries me. --- Half a year to master trading books, sounds easy, but most people haven't even opened the cover in half a year. --- Turning $1,000 into over a million in three years sounds great on paper, but the key question is: can you survive until then? --- I really want to hear it—have you actually verified in real trading that you can turn $240 into over a million? Have you ever placed such a trade? --- A risk-reward ratio of 1:1.5 is indeed the way to go, but the problem is that the market opportunities you get are simply not enough. --- A liquidation probability of 0.8% sounds safe, but that 0.8% often hits when you're most relaxed. --- No matter how good the hype, it all comes down to one word: execution. 80% of people fail at this. --- A 51% win rate sounds easy to say, but the market is changing every day. Can your system really consistently achieve this win rate? --- I just remembered, I've seen similar logic before, but the ones who really make money are always a minority.

It sounds perfect, but how many people can actually stick to stop-loss and take-profit? A thousand yuan in 240 days to reach a million—this math is way too optimistic. Just want to ask, has this system been tested in a bear market? A risk-reward ratio of 1:1.5 sounds simple, but the mental state is the real hell. I just want to know how much capital the author currently has.

It's the same theory again, sounds great in theory but who isn't losing money when it comes to execution? It's easy to say, but the real challenge is mindset, not math. A 51% win rate sounds easy, but how many can actually stick with it in practice? And the story of turning 1000U into 1 million—why have I never seen anyone actually pull it off?

Listening to it, it feels like a 51% win rate can cure all diseases, but how many people can truly stick to stop-loss?

Sounds good, but is it really that easy to go from 1000U to 1 million? I'm more interested in knowing how many people can truly go 240 days in a row without softening, bottom-fishing, or chasing trades.

It sounds great, but backtesting data and live trading are two different things. Maintaining a 51% win rate is not that easy; once your mindset collapses, it's all over. It's really about the risk factor; I feel it's underestimated. To put it simply, it's still a matter of being too soft-hearted. Can you really do it? From 1000U to 1 million, what kind of mental resilience does that require?
