Newcomers trading contracts, don't think about getting rich quickly first, think about one thing clearly: how to avoid losing everything.

Recently, people keep asking me: I only have about 1000U, should I open a small leverage and slowly grow it? Or do I have to be aggressive to make any profit?
My view is very simple— you don't need to earn fast, you need to survive longer first. $UB
First, talk about position sizing. Don't put all 1000U in at once, it’s recommended to split into 5 parts, 200U each, and try with only one part at a time.
The remaining 800U should be kept aside; that's not being timid, it's leaving a backup plan for yourself.
Many people go all-in right away, and one mistake means there's no chance to recover.
Next, about leverage. I suggest using between 10X–20X, no higher.
Too high a multiple isn't amplifying gains, it's amplifying your emotional swings.
Your entry isn't to gamble on size, but to stay at the table consistently. $LAYER
Stop-loss is the most difficult but also the most important.
Set a stop-loss level before each trade, for example, if it loses 20%–30%, exit decisively.
Don’t think about adding more, holding on, or chasing losses.
If you’re wrong, you’re wrong. Stop first, look at the market again in a day or two, and think about where you went wrong.
Once your state improves, take another portion of the remaining funds to continue trading.
If this trade makes a profit, for example, a floating gain of 200U, lock in half of the profit first,
and continue with the remaining half and the principal.
Take the profits off the table first, don’t put everything back in to compound.
This approach may seem slow, but I’ve seen many people get through it step by step this way.
Most account blow-ups aren’t really because the market is extreme, but because they’re too impatient.
They want to double their money in one shot right away, and one wrong move can wipe out the account entirely.
Remember one thing: even if your win rate is 90%, just one full-position mistake can wipe out all your previous gains.
In the end, trading contracts isn’t about who sees the market right, but who can endure.
You don’t need to earn the fastest, you need to ensure you don’t get knocked out first.
The market always offers opportunities, but only if you’re still alive.
