Honestly, leverage contract trading in the crypto world is not a casual matter—it's quick to make money, and even faster to lose it.
I once guided a group of followers, starting with a principal of 30,000 yuan, and when I finally exited, there were millions in the account. This wasn't luck; it was the result of five repeatedly validated rules learned through blood and tears.
My approach at the time was very aggressive: dividing the 1500U principal into three parts, each trade using only 500U to open 100x leverage. It sounds crazy, but behind it all was calculation—just a one-point fluctuation could double the profit; if I misjudged, those 500U would be paid as tuition. Surviving such high-risk operations depended entirely on self-discipline.
**Rule 1: Stop-loss decisively, never gamble on luck.**
I suffered two losses from being liquidated directly while waiting for a rebound. Since then, I set a strict rule: as soon as the stop-loss price is triggered, I cut immediately—0.1 seconds doesn't wait. Those who accept the loss tend to live much longer than those betting on rebounds.
**Rule 2: After five consecutive mistakes, stop trading immediately.**
The more you trade when the market is unclear, the more likely you are to die. I set a "circuit breaker": after losing five trades in a row, I close the trading app, leave the screen, and calm down for a whole night. When I wake up the next day, the market rhythm usually becomes clearer.
**Rule 3: Make sure to actually take profits.**
The numbers in the account are fake, especially floating profits—they're illusions. My simple rule: once I earn 6000U, I withdraw half to my wallet immediately. Only what is truly transferred to the blockchain wallet counts as a win; otherwise, the mindset will eventually be shattered by fluctuations.
**Rule 4: Follow only the trend, stay away from consolidation.**
When the market is clearly rising or falling, 100x leverage is like rocket fuel; but in sideways oscillations, it becomes a meat grinder. If you can't see the direction clearly, better to stay in cash and wait—this time cost is far less than the potential loss.
**Rule 5: Always strictly control position size, no all-in.**
Use no more than 500U per trade, so the position never exceeds 10% of the principal. The benefit of a small position is peace of mind—if you lose everything, you can still recover, and your core capital remains safe.
Contract trading is never a fast track to get rich overnight; it's a marathon. Opportunities in the crypto space are plentiful, but so are traps.
Only by engraving these five rules into your mind can you possibly survive until that day—exit with a smile, and truly pocket the profits.

You're right, but out of ten people who can actually implement these five points, not a single one can do it.

Stop-loss is truly a blood and tears story. I used to be a lucky guy too, but now I have no account left.
Listening to 100x leverage sounds exciting, but when a liquidation happens in an instant, there's no time to react.
Getting stopped out after five wrong trades is really the best, much better than losing control and blowing up my mindset with reckless operations.
Floating profits are all fake; this phrase hits home. I've seen too many accounts with millions on paper end up with not a single penny withdrawn.
Light positions are really the only way to survive; most who go all-in end up becoming the leeks of the exchange.
That said, executing this is still difficult; after all, greed is engraved in our genes.

That's right, 100x leverage is playing with fire; one misstep and you'll turn to ashes.
100x leverage sounds exciting, but in reality, it's a meat grinder.
Stop-loss is really something you have to be ruthless about; those who aren't tend to end up in the hospital.
I'm the kind of person who makes five mistakes and still tries to bounce back each time haha.
Floating profits are indeed a trap; if you can't cash out, it's as if you didn't make any profit.
I've never seen anyone survive a all-in bet; they've all become legends.
The most frustrating market is sideways trading; all analysis is useless, better to just sleep.
Futures trading tests not just skill, but also mindset and self-control.
Trading with a small position really can help you survive longer, there's no doubt about that.

Sounds good, but there are very few people who can actually execute these five points. I've seen too many "rule experts" end up going all-in and getting liquidated in the end.
