What is a contract? The fastest grave, or the harshest monastery?

My first contract trade, with a principal of 8,000 yuan, lost half within 15 minutes. At that time, my mind was full of thoughts like "Take a risk, turn a bicycle into a motorcycle," and the market gave me a lesson in the most straightforward way: if you want to play this, first learn to be respectful.

Only later did I realize that contracts are not at all a casino; they are a magnifying glass of human nature. You can see all your greed, fear, and self-deceiving luck mentality reflected in the candlestick charts.

I've seen too many people crash: winning two trades and then starting to get cocky, thinking they are chosen by fate, then going all-in and gambling wildly, with accounts wiped out in a few days. I've also seen people hold on stubbornly, from high spirits to emotional breakdowns.

Those who truly survive and come out smiling are top-tier "hunters." They spend 70% of their time waiting, like lurking leopards, unaffected by market fluctuations. Only when a trend is confirmed and a signal appears do they strike decisively, heavily investing and biting into the market.

I used the BOLL indicator to catch SOL's main upward wave—this logic: wait patiently during consolidation, strike when volume increases, build positions gradually, set stop-losses, and if the market moves in your favor, ride the wave; if not, exit immediately. In three weeks, I made 30 times the profit. It’s not luck, it’s all about execution.

Now I only follow three iron rules:

**Rule 1**: Never lose more than 2% on a single trade; stop-loss is the last line of defense.

**Rule 2**: Make no more than two trades per day; don’t let emotions control your rhythm.

**Rule 3**: When floating profits reach 50%, lock in gains immediately—prioritize safety before chasing huge profits.

To put it simply, contracts are not meant to make you rich overnight. Their real purpose is to force you to become stable and disciplined. Many people die here, not because of lack of skill, but because they lose to their own fingers.

Want to make big money in contracts? First, learn not to get liquidated. Only those who survive have the right to talk about the future.
