A trader made over one million USD in profit on the contract on New Year's Eve. Seeing this number, many people's first reaction is to complain about the market's danger and unfair fate. But if you look closely at his trading logic, you'll find that making money has never been a matter of luck.

This guy's secret to success actually boils down to four words: information advantage. He built a comprehensive market monitoring system with response times in milliseconds. Whenever the market fluctuates, he can immediately infer the underlying reasons and quickly formulate countermeasures. At the same time, he is well-versed in the order flow and risk control mechanisms of the trading platform.

Compare this to most retail traders. Experts play a combination of probability and certainty, while beginners, besides clicking the open order button, are blind in all other aspects. Contracts seem to have an extremely low barrier—just having an account allows you to operate. But the real barriers are hidden behind the decision-making process.

You think there are no barriers? Actually, all barriers are hidden on the other side of the door. The platform provides you with low-threshold trading tools, but the barriers of trading strategies, risk management, and market understanding never disappear. Who should ultimately earn this money has long been written into these details.

To put it simply, most people start fantasizing when they see 1 million, but they never consider how much time was spent building the system. We all want to skip the learning process and go straight to making money.

It's the same old spiel again—information advantage, risk control management... I've heard it so many times my ears are getting calloused. Basically, it's just wealthy people with systems making money.

That's right, the threshold is achieved through such clever maneuvers. People get envious when they see 1 million, but they don't realize that others have already spent millions in tuition to gain experience.

To be honest, seeing others receive over 1 million in their accounts still makes me feel envious... But then I think, they are indeed not relying on luck. Information gap is the real barrier. We retail investors don't even have basic monitoring systems, so how can we compete with their millisecond-level reactions? It's a bit frustrating, but I accept it.

Honestly, millisecond-level response speed is just outrageous. Retail investors can learn all they want, but they can't catch up with the system; this barrier can't be overcome just by learning.
