From $1,000 to $100,000: the wealthy code I discovered through rolling contracts, these 5 rules for survival have saved my life 3 times.
I've seen too many people roll from a few thousand to 990,000, only to zero out on the last trade. Contracts are a thousand times more thrilling than hoarding coins—either your account gains several zeros overnight, or it goes to zero right away.
I started with only $1,000 for food, and managed to roll it into $100,000 in 3 months through 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 take away profits.
One, the core logic of rolling 100 times in 3 months: it’s not about gambling on luck, it’s about embedding the rules in your bones.
At the beginning, I used $300 (about 2000 yuan) to test the waters, opening only $10 contracts with 100x leverage each time. Many people think 100x leverage is for 'gamblers,' but its magic lies in: if you're right, earning 1% is equivalent to doubling your principal. I set a strict rule for myself: every time I make a profit, withdraw half of the profit and roll the other half.
In theory, as long as you hit it 11 times in a row, $10 can roll into $10,000! But 90% of people die at these three hurdles: wanting to earn more when they make money and refusing to stop, being unwilling to lose and adding to their positions to recover, switching back and forth 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, and control desire' into a reflex.
Two, 5 rules for survival: before opening a position, you must silently recite them; stop trading after one mistake.
1. Cut losses immediately when wrong; never hold onto losing positions.
Contracts fear 'luck mentality' the most. I blew up my account twice early on, all because I 'thought it would bounce' and held on. Later, I established a strict rule: once it hits the stop loss, no matter how reluctant I am, I immediately close the position, even if the market turns back afterward, I won't regret it. Remember: in trading, surviving is 100 times more important than 'proving you're right.'
2. Stop trading after 20 consecutive mistakes; do not touch contracts that day.
The market always has 'irrational' moments; when you’re continuously losing, your mindset can collapse, and you’ll make more mistakes the more you trade. I established a 'circuit breaker mechanism' for myself: if I make 20 mistakes in a row in a single day (even if each time I lose only $10), I immediately shut down the software, and no matter how tempting the opportunities are that day, I will not trade. After a night of calm reflection, I often can avoid bigger pitfalls.
3. When you earn $5,000, you must withdraw; never get carried away.
Greed when making money is more deadly than panic when losing. I stipulated that when my account profits reach $5,000, I must withdraw at least half of the profits. During last year's Ethereum one-directional trend, I started with $500 and rolled it to $500,000 in 3 days, but I withdrew $200,000 along the way—this allowed me to preserve most of my profits during subsequent pullbacks and not end up like others who went back to zero on a 'roller coaster.'
4. Only trade in one-directional trends; play dead during sideways markets.
The core of making money in contracts is 'borrowing power'; in a sideways market, 100x leverage is a death sentence. I waited a full 4 months without opening a trade just to wait for a clear one-directional trend. Don’t think about trading every day; wait for the right opportunity, and during normal times, play dead like a rock, which often leads to more stable earnings.
5. Never open a position that exceeds 10% of your principal at once.
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—this way, with a light position, I won't lose my mindset no matter how big the fluctuations are, allowing me to wait for the trend to develop.
Three, can we play now? Ask yourself these 3 questions before taking action.
Some people always ask 'Can I enter the market now?' My answer is: first, ask yourself three questions—
Has a major fluctuation market really arrived? (In a sideways market, never touch 100x leverage.)
Is the trend one-directional? (Markets that jump back and forth are meat grinders.)
Can you resist eating only the fish body and not being greedy for the fish tail? (Greed is the biggest demon in trading)
If the answers are all 'yes,' you can test with a small amount; if there’s even one hesitation, it means you haven’t been taught enough by the market; it's more reliable to hoard coins honestly.
Finally: rolling contracts is not a shortcut to wealth, it's a discipline exam.
From $1,000 to $100,000, I didn’t rely on insider information or predictions, I only did one thing right: treating the 5 rules above as a 'lifeline,' punishing myself with a 3-day trading halt for each mistake.
Remember, contracts are either about playing with young models or working hard. If you don't have that mindset and discipline, don't come to lose your head. The real 'wealthy code' has never been about leverage, but about having the execution power to 'stop when greedy, hold firm when fearful, and wait when uncertain.'
