A friend just sent me a private message saying he'd made 70,000 Units from 1,000 in the last three months using futures contracts.
I thought he was just showing off with screenshots, but he actually sent me the full record. It's truly true.
His strategy is actually quite simple: he practices with small positions, withdraws when he makes a profit, and doesn't go bankrupt when he loses, building up his skills bit by bit through discipline. For short-term trading, he only looks at 15-minute charts, avoids fantasies, and avoids lingering. He executes his take-profit and stop-loss orders like a machine.
He said something that really stuck with me: "Blowing up isn't the scary thing; it's the lack of discipline that's the scary thing."
For many retail investors using futures contracts, what matters is not courage, but composure. This guy isn't a genius; he just knows when to sell and when to admit defeat.
I was speechless after reading that...
