From losing money to earning a million a month, I used the dumbest method. You might not believe it, but I once lost so much I couldn't sleep, staring at my account in a daze, full of "What do I do tomorrow." But later I was able to stabilize, not because I suddenly had an epiphany or was exceptionally talented, but because I found a simple yet effective method—so simple that even elementary school students can learn it, and the key is that it really works.

First rule: To make money, first learn to protect your life. No matter how good the strategy is, it can't withstand a liquidation. My rule is simple: 100k yuan principal, only try 10k yuan per trade, and keep the total position within 20%. If a single loss hits 2%, stop immediately, no delays.
Leverage? Beginners are forbidden to use it, even experienced traders should not exceed 10x. This rule can help you avoid 90% of the pitfalls in the crypto world.
Second rule: Do less to do right. The market isn't about "doing more" to make money, but about "doing right." I only do one-way trades: either long or short. Chasing back and forth just ends up giving money to the exchange.
Stop loss at 3%, take profit at 5%, set these in advance—much more effective than making decisions on the spot.
The first two trades of the day are the highest quality; starting from the third, you're basically just giving money away.
Don’t ask me how I know this—these experiences are paid for with money.
Third rule: Some pitfalls only need to be stepped into once.
Counter-trend adding? That’s just asking to die faster.
Frequent trading? The fees already eat half your profits.
Not taking profits? The numbers in your account can evaporate at any moment.
I’ve seen too many examples: making money but waiting for "more to rise," only to get liquidated and leave the market.
Two different approaches with 100,000 yuan principal:
Wrong approach: full position, high leverage, adding positions, holding through losses → finally getting liquidated and kicking yourself.
Right approach: 20k yuan base, 3% stop loss / 5% take profit, two trades per week → 8% monthly return, over 150% annualized.
Your choice.
Here’s a six-word mantra for you:
Must: spare money, discipline, one-way.
Don’t: go all-in, hold through losses, double down.
The futures market is not a casino.
Those who gamble their living expenses on the future will end up dead on the road.
As long as your principal is still there, and you are alive, you have the right to talk about "big money."
