$ARPA For beginners in futures trading, don’t think about getting rich first. Think about one thing first: how to avoid losing everything.


$ETH Lately, people keep asking me, with only about 1000U, can they slowly grow by using low leverage?
$ZKP My view is simple: You don’t need to make money fast; you need to survive first.
Let’s talk about position sizing: Don’t go all-in with 1000U. I suggest splitting it into 5 portions, 200U each, and only use one portion for testing at a time.
Leave the remaining 800U aside. That’s not being timid; it’s giving yourself a way out.
Many people go all-in right away, and one mistake leaves them with no chance.
Now about leverage: I recommend using between 10X–20X, nothing higher.
Too high a multiplier doesn’t amplify gains; it amplifies your emotional swings.
You don’t enter a trade to gamble; you enter to stay at the table.
Stop-loss is the hardest part, but also the most important.
Set a stop-loss line for every trade in advance. For example, if you lose 20%–30%, get out decisively. Don’t think about averaging down, holding hoping, or chasing back losses.
If you’re wrong, you’re wrong. Stop first, look at the charts again in a day or two, and think about where you went wrong.
Wait until your state of mind recovers, then take another portion from the remaining funds and continue.
If this trade makes a profit, say a floating gain of 200U, then transfer half of that profit out to lock it in, and keep running the remaining half plus the principal.
Lock in profits first, don’t throw them all back in to roll.
This approach looks slow, but I’ve seen many people survive little by little through this rhythm.
The vast majority of blowups are not because the market is extremely volatile, but because people are too impatient.
They want to double their money in one go, and one wrong direction and the account goes to zero.
Remember one sentence: Even if your win rate is 90%, one full-position mistake can wipe out all your previous gains.
In the end, futures trading is not about who predicts better, but who can endure.
You don’t need to be the fastest earner; you need to ensure you’re not out of the game first.
The market always has opportunities, but only if you are still alive.
If you always can’t hold your positions or don’t know how to set stop-losses, come talk to Brother Su. Brother Su will help you sort things out!

The range of 10X-20X is indeed comfortable; anything higher is just giving fees to the exchange.

I've seen too many people go all-in with 1000U, get three directions right but one wrong and end up at zero. Slow is fast—that's a saying worth pondering.

Bro Su's approach is so solid. Beginners really should carve it onto their foreheads: Living longer is a hundred times more important than getting rich quickly.

Split it into 5 parts, plus transfer out half the profits—once you run this combo, your mindset is rock-solid, straight-up, no joke, like a total old dog.
