In contract trading, candlestick charts conceal the true intentions of the market. When you hold 2000U and want to make a mark in the futures market, blindly going all-in will only accelerate capital depletion. True small fund breakthroughs rely on strategy rather than luck.

The most common reasons small traders fail are twofold: greed and reckless leverage. I have summarized 5 ironclad trading rules. By strictly following this approach, small accounts can steadily grow their profits. In the past, some traders used this method to make a profit of 190,000U in a single December, with discipline and contrarian thinking at the core.

**Rule 1: Diversify firepower, keep a backup**

Don’t go all-in with 2000U. Split it into three positions: 500U to quietly hold trend-following coins with low leverage, to reliably grasp the big direction; 1000U as a mobile force, to strike at panic points in the market; and the remaining 500U as a reserve, only used in emergencies to recover losses. This approach fundamentally prevents liquidation risks.

**Rule 2: Stop-loss is not a flaw, but a weapon against the big players**

Many set stop-losses below technical levels, which actually feeds the market makers. The real strategy is to study liquidation heatmaps and place stop-losses outside dense liquidation zones, making it hard for large players to see your bottom line and precisely harvest your positions.

**Rule 3: Profit is a trap; compound interest is the real king**

When your account profit exceeds 50% of the principal, immediately withdraw 30% into stablecoins for safety, and continue rolling the remaining 70% according to the iron rules. This way, the power of compound interest amplifies gains steadily, avoiding being wiped out by a correction near the top.

**Rule 4: Precise monitoring, emotional discipline**

You don’t need to watch the screen all day. Focus on two key periods: 2-5 AM (when market liquidity concentrates and volatility is obvious) and the 30 minutes before data releases (market ignition points). During other times, close your trading interface and stay away from emotional decisions.

**Rule 5: Contrarian hedging to harvest liquidation bonuses**

When many retail traders go long with high leverage, open a 0.5x short position to hedge. If the market pulls back, those high-leverage longs will be liquidated en masse, and your small position can profit easily. The risk is very low, but the returns are stable.

Turning 2000U into 100 times that sounds crazy, but with this method, it’s not just wishful thinking. The key lies in disciplined execution and understanding market psychology. Most traders buy high and sell low not because of technical issues, but because they are overwhelmed by market emotions—chasing highs and panicking to cut losses. Top traders do the opposite: they operate contrarily, earning the difference through discipline and cognitive advantage.

Ultimately, futures trading is not gambling. It’s about achieving steady growth of small funds through precise position management, counteracting big players, and rolling profits via compound interest. With enough discipline and adherence to these 5 iron rules, a 2000U account can break through volatility and escape the trap of small funds.
