Contract trading, in a nutshell, is all about position sizing and mindset. Recently, many brothers have been asking how to play with funds under $1,000. Today, I'll directly explain my approach to you.



Suppose you have 1000U, first divide it into ten portions, only use 100U each time for operations, and recommend 20x leverage. Newbies, stay away from high leverage—your mindset won't handle it. Keep the remaining 900U as backup. If you lose the 100U, don't rush to add margin—stop, review, and rest for a day or two. Markets are open every day; missing one or two waves won't matter. When you profit, withdraw some to pocket it—don't let it all roll in the account, so your mindset stays lighter.$GLW
Don't think contract trading is easy money. With 10x leverage, a 10% drop in the wrong direction will wipe you out. Win a hundred times, but one full position hits by a black swan and it's all gone. A truly good trader with a 60% win rate is already strong—it's never about being right every time, but about position sizing and rhythm.$RDDTON
My own iron rules are clear: start with small funds of 30 to 50U, lock leverage at 20x, always set a stop-loss on entry, and take a loss of 20 to 30 dollars—never hold stubbornly. For take-profit, use the pullback method: once profits retrace 30%, pocket them. When you profit, you must withdraw; don't be fooled by the account numbers.
A reminder for newbies: if you lose over 2% in a day, stop immediately. If it reaches 6%, close all positions and rest for two or three days. When your state of mind is off, don't trade. Never go against the trend, and only add positions in a pyramid structure. If you can't control your position sizing and mindset, you'll zero out sooner or later. To go far, always put risk control first. If you're still unclear on the rhythm, follow me steadily. I'm Sister Qing—I don't bring gambling, only stability.#Circle股价重挫17%
