Honestly, I'm not here to show off profits. I just want to honestly discuss how to trade contracts safely and make steady money.

Eight years ago, when I started with 2000U, I couldn't even find the leverage switch, let alone understand candlestick charts. Now, my account is steadily in the eight-figure range. Looking back at this journey of struggles, I feel a mix of emotions.

But I have to be honest: this isn't luck accumulated over time, but rather finding a set of "ways to survive."

My starting point was trying with 800U, investing only 80U each time to play 100x contracts. This leverage is interesting—just a 1% increase can double your position, but a turn of the market can wipe you out overnight. Having suffered losses, I engraved these five rules in my mind, and now I share them.

**Rule 1: Run immediately when wrong, don’t hold on**

During my novice phase, I blew two accounts. Back then, I always hoped the market would rebound to break even. In reality, the market never gives you that chance; the longer you wait, the more you lose. When you hit the stop-loss line, you must exit. Staying alive is the only way to have a chance to recover. There’s no need to fight the market.

**Rule 2: Close after five consecutive losses**

Sometimes the market is like a headless fly flying chaotically. Holding on blindly will only ruin your mindset. I set a rule for myself: after five consecutive losing trades, close the software and take a break, then check the market the next day. Often, you'll find the previous pitfalls have already been filled.

**Rule 3: Withdraw after earning 800U**

No matter how beautiful the numbers on the screen look, they are just virtual. The market can turn against you faster than you can flip a page. My habit is: once I earn 800U, I withdraw at least half. Securing profits is the real win.

**Rule 4: Only chase in one direction, rest during sideways**

When the market trends strongly in one direction, 100x leverage can send you to the sky; but during consolidation, the same leverage becomes a scythe cutting the chives. When there's no clear direction, better to stay idle than to make reckless moves.

**Rule 5: Keep position size within one-tenth of your capital**

Never go all-in on a single trade. Smaller positions allow you to stay calmer in chaotic markets. Going all-in is like stuffing ten dishes onto a buffet plate—eventually, one will make you uncomfortable.

Over the years, through ups and downs in the market, I’ve finally figured out a safe rhythm. I hope sharing this logic can help everyone avoid some detours. Making money with contracts isn’t mysterious—it's discipline + patience + survival.
