That year, I entered the futures world with 5000U, reaching an account peak of 400,000U, and now my account has surpassed one million U.
My core strategy can be summed up in one sentence: use the smallest position to chase the biggest trend. I only invest 2% of total capital each time, starting with 100U and using 50x leverage. If the direction is right, I earn 5000U; if wrong, I lose at most 100U. Extreme risk control allowed me to achieve an 80-fold return in sixteen months.
First rule: Stop loss should be as natural as breathing.
I have seen too many people turn profits into losses, all because of "just wait a little longer." I strictly set my single trade stop loss at 2% of the entry price. Once triggered, I exit immediately, never linger. Remember, cutting losses only hurts for a moment, but holding onto losing positions can lead to catastrophic losses.
Second rule: Tiered take profit.
Every time I earn 5000U, I immediately move the stop loss up to the cost price. When I earn 10,000U, I withdraw 30% of the profit. Once during a BTC one-sided market, I moved my stop loss three times and ultimately captured a 7000-point market move, making a single profit of over 20,000U.
Third rule: Avoid all news-driven markets.
When important data is released, market liquidity drops sharply, and price spikes occur frequently. I always close my positions before data is announced. During last year's CPI data release, even though I predicted the direction correctly, I stayed flat and successfully avoided the evening's repeated spikes.
Fourth rule: Never be fully invested, never increase leverage.
When you see an opportunity, don’t rush in; be patient like a sniper. I always keep 40% cash on hand, qualifying for averaging down only during extreme market conditions. I once averaged down three times when ETH fell below 2000, ultimately achieving a reversal profit.
Fifth rule: Regularly withdraw profits, forget the cost.
I definitely withdraw 50% of my profits every week. Once all the principal is withdrawn, my mindset changes in a wonderful way: trading with profits becomes more relaxed, and the error rate in operations drops by 40%.
The most crucial sixth rule: Build your own trading signal library.
I organized 300 trading records over two years and found that my win rate under specific candlestick patterns exceeds 75%. Now I only trade these high win rate patterns; during other times, I prefer to miss opportunities rather than make mistakes.
The harsh truth of the futures market is that most profits come from a few major market movements. What we need to do is not trade frequently, but to dare to take action when the timing is right, while always preserving the capital for the next battle.
In the past, I stumbled around in the dark alone; now I hold the light in my hand.
