BTC contracts can truly make you rich or leave you completely hopeless. But if you understand the rules, it’s just a money-making machine.

I turned 2000U into 100,000U. I’m not bragging, I just want to tell you: the secret to making money with contracts has never been in those flashy technical indicators.

Survivor traders use the simplest, most straightforward, yet most deadly rules.

**Rule 1: Never bet your life on one trade**

I split that 2000U into 10 parts. Each trade only invests 30U with 100x leverage. It sounds conservative, but it’s this conservatism that has kept me alive until today.

If the direction is right? One point doubles your money. If wrong? Get out immediately, no hesitation. I never try to reason with the market — the market is always right, and I can only be wrong.

**Rule 2: Stop-loss must be ruthless**

Market turns against you instantly. One more second of holding can double your loss. So my stop-loss is just two words: Get out immediately.

No hoping for a rebound, no waiting for “maybe it will come back.” If you give it a chance and don’t exit? That’s suicide.

**Rule 3: After five consecutive losses, hit the circuit breaker**

Close your computer, close your software, and completely exit. At this point, your mind has been hijacked by emotions, and continuing to trade is just giving away money.

Look at the charts again the next day; the structure is often clear. But if you’re still struggling in front of the screen, you’ll only dig yourself deeper.

Well said, living is the top priority. I've lost everything on those kinds of trades before. Now I just play like this, slowly rolling with small positions, and my mindset is really much more comfortable. --- Yeah, I agree with this logic, but the reality is that most people simply can't do it. Those who go all-in at once are the ones who end up losing everything. --- The part about stop-loss really hit me in the heart. I used to hesitate, look for a couple more seconds, and end up爆仓. Now that I set it, I stick to it decisively. --- It sounds simple, but when you try to execute it, you realize how difficult it really is. If you can't get past your emotions, all the rules are useless. --- A five-loss streak leading to a circuit breaker is the ultimate. It's more effective than any technical indicator, but I'm just worried someone can't resist continuing.

There's nothing wrong with that; staying alive is more important than anything else. Stop-loss has really been overlooked by too many people. Do you really want to wait for a rebound? That's a gambler's mentality. Contracts, in simple terms, are like elimination matches. The ones who ultimately laugh last are not necessarily those who make the fastest profits, but those who survive the longest. If you don't understand this wave of market trends, just watch and wait. Opportunities will always come, and missing one isn't a big deal. Trying out with 30U may sound boring, but it increases the chance of surviving until next year by ten times.
