Contract trading, in simple terms, boils down to two words: position and mindset.

Recently, many friends have been asking me, with a capital of under a thousand dollars, how to play it right? I'll give you my approach directly.

Suppose you have 1000U.

Step one: Divide your money into 10 parts, each time only take out 100U to operate, with leverage recommended at 20X. Newbies shouldn't use too high leverage—your mindset won't hold up.

Keep the remaining 900U in savings as backup. If you truly lose the 100U, don't think about topping up; instead, stop first, review and reflect, and rest for a day or two. Market opportunities come every day; missing one or two moves is no big deal.

Once you're stable, split the remaining 900U into 10 parts—this time, each part is 90U. Continue trading, but be more cautious. Suppose this time you earn 300U, then withdraw 200U and leave 100U to roll. The advantage of doing this is that your account won't get locked up, and your mindset will be more relaxed.

Remember, it's not hard to get liquidated on a contract. With 10X leverage, if the direction is wrong and the price drops 10%, you're wiped out. Even if you've won a hundred times before, if this one time you go all-in with a heavy position, a black swan event will take everything. A truly skilled trader with a 60% win rate is already strong; it's never about "being right every time," but about position and rhythm.

My own iron rules:

• When playing with small capital, 30-50U to start is enough.

• Keep leverage at 20X—don't be greedy.

• Must set a stop loss when entering; if you lose 20-30 bucks, accept it—don't stubbornly hold.

• Take profit using the pullback method; take profits when 30% of the gains are retraced.

• When you make money, know how to withdraw—don't let the account numbers fool you.

A few more tips for newcomers:

• If you lose more than 2% in a day, stop immediately. If you lose 6%, clear what needs to be cleared, cut losses, and rest for 2-3 days.

• When you're in a bad mood or in a poor state, don't touch the market.

• Never trade against the trend—the market is always more stubborn than you.

• Only add to positions in a pyramid style, never in an inverse pyramid.

That's how contract trading is. If you can't control your position and mindset, you'll eventually get wiped out. If you want to go far, you must put risk management first.$BTC $ETH
