I've seen too many people roll from a few thousand to 990,000, only to end up with a zero balance on the last trade. Contracts are a thousand times more stimulating than holding coins—either your account gains several zeros overnight, or it goes to zero right at the opening.

I initially had only $1,000 left for food, but I managed to roll it into $100,000 in 3 months using contracts. But today, I don’t want to talk about 'getting rich quickly'; I want to discuss how to dance on the edge of a knife and still walk away with profits.

1. The core logic of rolling 100x for 3 months: it's not about gambling; it's about embedding the rules into your bones.

At first, I used $300 to test the waters, opening only 10x contracts of $10 each time. Many people think 100x leverage is exclusive to gamblers, but its magic lies in: if you get the direction right, a 1% gain is equivalent to doubling your capital. I set a strict rule for myself: after each profit, withdraw half of the profit and continue rolling the other half.

Theoretically, if you get it right 11 times in a row, you can turn $10 into $10,000! But 90% of people fail on these three counts: wanting to earn more after making a profit and not knowing when to stop, refusing to admit losses and adding to their position to recover, switching between long and short and getting slapped by the market. I survived not by predicting the market, but by turning 'take profit and stop loss, control desire' into a reflex.

2. Five life-saving iron rules: Before each trade, you must mentally recite them; stop trading after one mistake.

1. Cut losses immediately when wrong; never hold onto a losing position.

Contracts fear the 'gambling mentality.' I blew my account twice early on, all because I thought there would be a rebound and stubbornly held on. Later, I established a hard rule: as soon as it hits the stop-loss point, I close the position immediately, no matter how unwilling I feel, even if the market reverses after I close. Remember: in contracts, surviving is 100 times more important than 'proving you were right.'

2. If you make 20 wrong trades in a row, stop trading; do not touch contracts that day.

Markets will always have 'irrational' moments; during consecutive losses, your mindset can collapse, leading to more mistakes. I set a 'circuit breaker': if I continuously make 20 wrong trades in a single day, even if each loss is only $10, I immediately close the software; no matter how enticing the opportunities are that day, I won’t trade. A night of calm can often help avoid larger pitfalls.

3. Withdraw $5,000 in profits immediately; never get too excited.

Greed when making money is more deadly than panic when losing. I set a rule: when my account profits reach $5,000, I must withdraw at least half of the profits. Last year during the Ethereum bull market, I started with $500 and rolled it to $500,000 in 3 days, but I withdrew $200,000 midway—this allowed me to preserve most of my profits during subsequent pullbacks, avoiding the 'roller coaster' back to zero like others.

4. Only trade in one-sided trends, play dead during consolidation.

The core of making money in contracts is 'borrowing momentum.' In a volatile market, 100x leverage is a death sentence. I waited for 4 months without opening a single trade, just to wait for a clear one-sided trend. Don't think about trading every day; when you see the right opportunity, strike, and act like a rock most of the time to earn more steadily.

5. Never exceed 10% of your capital in a single trade.

No matter how certain the opportunity is, I never go all in. With $1,000 in capital, I open a maximum of $100 per trade—light positions mean I won’t lose my cool even if there are big fluctuations, allowing me to wait for trends to develop. Betting everything right 9 times doesn’t matter; getting it wrong once can wipe you out.

3. Can I play now? First, ask yourself these 3 questions before taking action.

People always ask, 'Can I enter the market now?' My answer is: first, ask yourself these three questions.

Has the big volatility market really come? During a consolidating market, never touch 100x leverage.

Is the trend one-sided? A market that bounces back and forth is a meat grinder.

Can you resist only eating the fish's body and not being greedy for the tail? Greed is the biggest demon in contracts.

If the answer is all 'yes,' you can try with small funds; if there's even a hint of hesitation, it means you haven't been taught enough by the market, and honestly holding coins is more reliable.

In the end: rolling contracts is not a shortcut to wealth, it's a test of discipline.

From $1,000 to $100,000, I didn't rely on insider info or predictions; I only did one thing right: treating the above 5 iron rules as my 'life-saving charms' and penalizing myself with a 3-day trading stop for each mistake.

Remember, in contracts, you either end up with a young model or you go work hard. If you lack that mindset and discipline, don’t come in to throw your life away. The real 'wealth-building code' is never about leverage; it's about the execution of 'stopping when greedy, holding firm when fearful, and waiting when uncertain.'
