The Survival Rules for Six-Year Contract Traders: The Enduring Path of Blood and Tears

In the risky field of contract trading, six years of ups and downs have validated a core principle: Survival is Success. Compared to the pursuit of short-term windfalls, building long-lasting trading vitality holds overwhelming strategic significance. This accumulation is distilled into the following survival essentials:

1. Discipline of Capital Protection: Set clear boundaries for capital management. Regardless of the initial capital scale, daily trading frequency and single-trade risk exposure must be strictly limited. Remember: Monthly steady accumulation far outweighs a zero balance after a day of revelry.

2. Goal Awareness and Timely Withdrawal: Set rational monthly profit targets in advance. If daytime trading has reached this target, exit the trading environment immediately! The continuation of greed is often the starting point for profit loss and even significant losses.

3. Cautious Information Filtering: In the face of sudden "good news," do not recklessly chase high prices. Quickly verifying the strength of prices and matching volume is key. If there is insufficient volume when hitting key resistance levels, it should be seen as a risk signal, and one should decisively exit to avoid potential market changes.

4. Timing and Positioning Art:

• Seek Value Support: Observe key moving averages in a mild trend and wait for core pullback levels to stabilize after extreme market conditions.

• Be Cautious of Market Anomalies: An abnormal surge in volatility is often a precursor to an impending storm.

5. Principle of Multiple Signal Resonance: The effectiveness of technical signals often requires cross-verification from multiple dimensions; a single signal lacks reliability.

6. Awareness of Time Windows: Recognize high-sensitivity points in the market. During this period, increased volatility is the norm, and participants need to assess risks with higher standards or actively avoid them.

7. Ironclad Rules of Risk Control: Pre-set stop-loss is a lifeline; it must be established and strictly enforced before entering the market. Relying on price alerts is less effective than relying on ironclad rules. Holding positions is equivalent to playing with fire; the lessons learned are deeply etched in memory.

8. Active Management of Mindset:

• Forced Cooling After Winning Streaks: Continuous profits can lead to inflated mindset; a forced trading pause helps to maintain perspective.
