Recently, I've been following a set of contract trading rules—simple but enforced with deadly strictness:

Holdings are always limited to half of the total assets. Take profit at 50%, cut losses and add to the position if it drops by 20%. If I lose, I add more funds and keep going; if I win, I immediately transfer out the profits—never get greedy.

For example, with 40u: Open a contract with 20u. If it drops by 20%, add 4u; if it rises by 50%, transfer out 10u. When the total assets double to 80u, split it back into 40+40 and start over.

Actual trading data:
Day 1: Account at 15u
Day 2: Climbed to 28u
Today, on the third day, I’ve made 8 trades already. Win rate is stuck at 50%, but the return rate has reached 40%, now holding 38u.

With small funds, it’s all about discipline. The strategy is simple; executing it well is enough.
