Contracts have always been a matter of a thought of heaven or a thought of hell.

I have seen too many people storm in with thousands of U, dreaming of adding four zeros to their accounts overnight, but reality often leads to liquidation every few days, wiping out the principal, and grinding down the last bit of hope.

A few years ago, my account only had 8000U left. I tried 100 times leverage for the first time, and lost half in just 15 minutes.

Staring at the red screen on my phone, my palms were sweating. In that moment, I suddenly realized: liquidation is never an accident, but rather the “welcome gift” that high leverage hands to newcomers.

Leverage is not about multiplying returns; it exponentially amplifies risk;

Frequent trading seems busy, but in reality, the transaction fees are like a dull knife cutting flesh, slowly exhausting the principal;

More cruelly, after losing 90%, you need to multiply by 9 to break even — this is not recovering losses; it’s like building a rocket.

If you want to survive in the market, you first need to give up the thrill of “going all in.” What truly allowed my account to steadily rise was a “survival system” built with real money.

Take the BOLL indicator as an example; most people only know “expanding and contracting,” but few can dissect the core: contraction is volatility compression, and the market is silently building momentum; the slope of the middle line hides the balance of bulls and bears; whichever side tilts, go with the trend; when expansion coincides with volume, momentum is fully released, signaling it’s time to act.

In October last year, $SOL saw 7 consecutive daily K-lines contracting. The middle line slightly tilted upwards, and I built my position near the lower line, firmly placing my stop-loss at the low point before the contraction. Unexpectedly, a wave of market action shot up to the upper line, yielding a 30-fold return in a single month. It’s not that I am extraordinary, but the system turned the chaotic market into a graspable probability.

However, no system can save those who are too eager to trade. I set three iron rules for myself:

No single loss exceeds 2% of total capital; a maximum of 2 trades per day, refusing frequent trading; when floating profit reaches 50%, adjust the stop-loss upwards, with capital preservation as the top priority.

These seemingly conservative rules are actually about embedding “survival” into trading logic. The market never rewards the bravest; it only rewards those who last the longest.

Contracts are indeed a fast lane for ordinary people to overtake, but please remember: placing orders based on feelings hands the steering wheel to emotions;

Using a system to trade is truly taking your fate into your own hands.

The abyss has always been there, and the light in my hand is just one. Whether to come ashore together is your choice. @juice13
