In two months, 3,000 yuan rolled into 200,000.

Sounds unbelievable? But this actually happened right in front of me.

I know a guy who previously lost $40,000 following trades. The guy was numb. When he talked to me, all I heard was despair: “This is my last bit of money.” At the time, I thought, if he doesn’t fix his mindset, no amount of strategy will help.

Contracts are a double-edged sword. If you know how to play, your account balance can skyrocket; if you don’t? The market will take your money without a second thought.

My advice to him was simple and direct: start with 300 USDT to practice, open positions of just 30 USDT each time, and max out the leverage at 100x. If you get the direction right, a 1% move means you double your money; if you’re wrong, at most you lose that 30 bucks—not enough to lose sleep over.

Then we set some hard rules—

If you’re wrong, cut your losses, no hesitation. Hit your stop-loss and get out immediately—don’t fight with the market. Lose five trades in a row? Shut down your computer and get some fresh air. Trading recklessly in a messy market is just giving money to the whales. Withdraw profits right away—those numbers in your account are just clouds. Every time you save up 3,000 USDT, withdraw half and do whatever you want with the rest. And the most important rule—never let your position size exceed 10%. Light positions are the only way you’ll sleep at night.

I’ve always believed in one thing: 100x leverage isn’t a fast track to hell—it’s a ticket to heaven. The only problem is, the entrance is littered with people who broke the rules.

Now this guy no longer chases pumps or panics on dumps, and he’s given up on the fantasy of getting rich overnight. He just follows the trend and keeps his own pace.

In the contract market, the last one smiling is never the fiercest, but the one who survives the longest.
