From a thousand dollars to over a hundred thousand, honestly, it's not luck, but these five iron rules that have pulled me out of the pit time and time again.
Contracts can make you fly, but they can also make you fall and never get up.
Only trade Bitcoin and Ethereum.
My approach is a bit extreme: split a thousand dollars into ten parts, invest one hundred dollars at a time, and open 100x leverage.
If you're right, you double your money instantly; if you're wrong? That hundred dollars is gone to zero.
But as long as you follow these five rules below, the market won't have a way to beat you.
First rule: Cut losses when wrong, don’t hesitate
Always waiting for a rebound? The market won’t indulge you. When your stop-loss point hits, get out immediately. Accept the loss—it's a hundred times better than a margin call.
Second rule: Shut down after five consecutive losses
When the market gets chaotic, stubbornness is just giving away money. Set a circuit breaker for yourself: after five wrong trades, turn off your computer and take a whole day off. Come back the next day, and you'll often see everything clearly.
Third rule: Take profits when you earn
The numbers in your account are just floating clouds; the real money is what you take out. Every time you make at least two thousand dollars, withdraw at least half and secure your gains.
Fourth rule: Follow the trend, avoid choppiness
In a trending market, 100x leverage is a printing press; in a choppy market, it’s a meat grinder. When there's no clear direction, I prefer to stay in cash and wait for the trend to emerge before acting.
Fifth rule: Never risk more than 10% of your capital in a position
Stop thinking about going all-in. To win, you first need to survive. Only trade one hundred dollars at a time—if you can afford to lose, you can also win steadily. With a lighter position, your mindset stays stable, and you’ll operate with confidence.
Contracts are never a shortcut to overnight wealth; they are a long-term battle.
Remember these five rules, and you’ll be able to smile last.
