In the futures market, opportunity and risk are often two sides of the same coin. Some achieve steady growth through strict trading discipline, while others suffer losses due to impulsiveness.



Here, we share a proven contract trading methodology. The core idea is: not relying on luck, but on discipline.

**Strategy Framework**

Taking a smaller principal as an example, split $300 into ten parts, investing $30 each time with 100x leverage. When the market moves favorably, double your gains; if your judgment is wrong, cut losses quickly. It may seem aggressive, but the key lies in the subsequent risk management system.

**Five Core Disciplines**

**Stop-Loss Execution**: Exit without hesitation when reaching the stop-loss level. Don’t hope for a rebound; the market won’t wait for individuals. Taking a loss is tough, but the cost of liquidation is even heavier.

**Loss Circuit Breaker**: After five consecutive stop-losses, pause all trading. Forcing trades during chaotic market phases is like giving away money unilaterally. Short-term observation often clarifies the situation.

**Profit Realization**: Floating profits do not equal real assets. Whenever the account grows by at least 3,000U, withdraw at least half. Only profits in hand truly belong to you.

**Market Selection**: 100x leverage amplifies in trending markets but becomes a meat grinder in oscillating markets. When the trend is unclear, holding cash and waiting is better than blindly entering. Once the trend is established, participate fully.

**Position Control**: Each trade should not exceed 10% of the principal. Operating with a light position ensures stable mindset and precise execution. Positions you can afford to lose are the foundation for steady gains.

Contract trading is essentially a contest of discipline. Many losses stem from lack of execution, not flawed strategies. Incorporate these principles into your trading habits, and you’ll be able to smile last in the long run.

Everyone is right, but there are actually very few people who can truly do it. I am one of those who know when to cut losses, but still have trembling hands. The most heartbreaking part is even the loss circuit breaker; you really need to slow down and not rush to make up for losses.

Discipline is easy to talk about, but when the market crashes, who can stay calm and cut losses? I definitely don't have that mental resilience.

Exactly right, this set of principles is the true essence of contracts. The key really is discipline. I previously lost everything because I didn't strictly cut losses; I was hoping for a rebound while still holding floating losses, and as a result, I got wiped out. I especially agree with the concept of circuit breakers. When the market is chaotic, reckless trading is suicide. Sometimes, staying out of the market and observing is much more comfortable than blindly placing orders.

Nice words, but the key is whether you can truly cut your losses at that moment. Most people get trapped by the phrase "wait for the rebound."

It sounds good, but the key is execution. Most people simply can't continue even after a loss...

That's right, stop-loss is really the hardest part. I've seen too many people refuse to cut their losses, and in the end, they get liquidated and still curse the market. Discipline > luck, this is a phrase worth engraving in your mind.

That's right, but how many actually follow through? Most people forget after reading, and when the next market comes, they go all in again.
