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.

Yeah, this discipline is really strict. It feels like a lot of people fail just because they get arrogant.

This level of discipline is truly impressive, unlike those with a gambler’s mentality. Managing to achieve a 40% return with just a 50% win rate—success really comes down to the details.

This logic of stop-loss and averaging down feels a bit shaky to me. Why add more money when you're already losing? --- Running at 50%? That's really timid, but it seems like you actually made a profit. --- Discipline is easy to talk about, but very few people can actually stick to it. --- Going from 15 to 38 in three days—if that's not pure luck, then you must really have some skills. --- I agree with controlling your position size to half; overleveraging is the biggest pitfall for beginners. --- 40% return in just 3 days—that must have been insanely smooth sailing. --- Averaging down is fine, but the real fear is doing it right before a total wipeout. --- Turning things around with a small account through discipline—it all sounds right, but the hard part is actually sticking to it.

Discipline is easy to talk about but hard to stick to. However, looking at your data from the past three days, it's really impressive.

To be honest, this discipline is incredible. Not getting cocky is the most crucial part—so many people fail because of greed.

Oh, this is the evolution theory of veteran retail investors. Sounds like the strategy I used three years ago, but it does have some merit. Taking profits at 50% gain is a good rule, gotta give it to 🤙.
