Newbies playing contracts, don't rush to make money. First, learn one thing: how not to lose.


$M Recently, many fans have been asking me similar questions: I only have 1000U in principal. Can I gradually grow it by using smaller leverage? Or is being too conservative going to prevent me from making money?
$LAB Today, I'll lay out this most basic survival mindset clearly. If you want to survive in contracts, follow this first.
$ARPA Step one: split your positions first. Don't go all-in with 1000U. Directly split it into 10 parts, only use 100U each time, and leave the remaining 900U untouched. Many people overlook this step, but it actually determines whether you'll have a "next chance."
Step two: don't use leverage recklessly. Keeping it within 20X is enough. Anything higher just amplifies emotions, not gains. You're not here to gamble; you're here to survive.
Step three: stop-loss must be decisive. If you lose on this 100U trade, accept it. Don't add to the position, don't hold on, don't increase your position. When you're wrong, stop. Wait a day or two to look at the market again, and review where you went wrong.
Step four: keep a steady pace. Once you recover your state, take another portion from the remaining 900U to continue trading. If this round makes a profit—say you earn 300U—transfer 200U back to a financial product to lock it in, and only leave 100U to keep rolling.
This method seems slow, but many people have survived from zero by sticking to it. Because the vast majority of newbies get liquidated not because the market is too harsh, but because they're too impatient—jumping in with full positions and going all-in from the start. One wrong direction wipes them out.
Remember this: even if your win rate is 90%, a single full-position mistake is enough to knock you out. Contracts test not your skills, but your position sizing and mindset. You don't need to make money fast; you need to not die first.
The market is big, and opportunities are always there—but only if you can stay in it. If you're still chasing ups and downs, or don't know how to judge entry and exit points, feel free to come talk to me.
