$ZEC Contracts really are a thought away from heaven, and in an instant, hell.
I've seen many people rush in with a few hundred U or a few thousand U, fantasizing about becoming wealthy overnight.
As a result, they face liquidation every day, their principal wiped out, and their confidence shattered—it's not because they aren't smart enough, but because no one is there to guide or teach them.
$BEAT I was the same way back then.
I only had 5000 U in my account, and on my first try, I opened a position with 100× leverage; a slight market shake led to half evaporating in 10 minutes.
I stared at the sea of red, my palms sweaty; at that moment, I suddenly understood: liquidation is not an accident, it's a gift for beginners.
High leverage writes you your first death notice.
Most people don't realize—leverage is not 'profit × multiple', it's 'risk × index'.
Frequent trading may seem like hard work, but in reality, it's just wearing you down with fees.
If you lose 90%, you need to increase by 9 times to return to the starting point.
That's not breaking even; that's building a rocket.
During that time, I painfully realized: to survive in contracts, I must first quit the 'gambling thrill'.
What truly made my account curve steadily rise to the upper right,
wasn't luck—it was the 'survival system' I purchased with real money.
For example: the BOLL indicator.
Many people can only see the opening and closing, but the really useful steps are these three:
Closing = volatility compression, the market is building up strength;
Middle track slope = bullish or bearish tendency, it leans and moves accordingly;
Opening + volume = energy explosion, that's my entry point.
Last October, SOL had 7 consecutive closing days on the daily chart, with the middle track slightly rising.
I built my position near the lower track, with a stop-loss set at the previous low before the closing.
A wave to the upper track, the entire trend was fully captured—not because I was a genius, but because the system helped me turn chaos into probability.
But even the strongest system can't save a restless hand.
I set three iron rules for myself, and posted them next to my screen:
Single loss ≤ 2% of total capital;
Open positions ≤ 2 times per day;
After 50% floating profit, move the stop-loss to break-even;
Does it look “conservative”?
Quite the opposite—this is about embedding “survival” into the code.
The market won't reward the fiercest traders, only those who last the longest.
Contracts are indeed the fastest track for ordinary people to overtake.
But please remember one thing: trading by feeling hands over the steering wheel to emotions;
Trading with a system is grabbing your destiny in your own hands.
