Below 1,000U—don’t always think about getting rich overnight. First learn how to stay alive.
Just getting into the derivatives/contract market, with only a few hundred to a thousand U in hand—doesn’t it make you keep fantasizing that you can ride one move and multiply your money by several times?
Let me be straight with you: I’ve seen too many people. It’s because of that “go big or nothing” mindset—once they go all-in with a heavy position, they get wiped out in a single round and exit.
The biggest advantage of small capital isn’t that it lets you gamble for your life. It’s that you still have the right to “test and make mistakes.”
For example, if you have 1,000U, split it into 5 parts: each time only use 200U as “scout duty.” If the direction is right, you add gradually after the unrealized profit builds; if the direction is wrong, cut the loss and leave with a small亏, and your account still has room to adjust. Never stake everything in one go—that isn’t trading, it’s gambling.
A lot of people lose money because they get destroyed by the word “leverage.”
10x feels slow, 20x isn’t enough—so they jump straight to 50x, 100x. But remember: leverage amplifies returns, and it amplifies risk by countless times at the same time. The moment price slightly pulls against you, those high-leverage positions can vanish instantly. Real pros use low leverage combined with light positions, keeping their risk exposure within 2% of total capital.
One more thing: after you lose money, don’t rush to “win it back.”
The more you try to make money back immediately, the more likely you are to lose your rationality. In the end, a small loss turns into a huge one. My rule is: if a single trade’s loss exceeds the plan, stop right away; if you’re wrong on two trades in a row, shut down the computer and review the charts. The market never closes, but your account might.
So what about making money?
Even harder is holding onto your profits. Once you hit 20%-30%, first take some off the table to lock in gains, then roll the remaining profits forward. Don’t earn a little and then put everything back in every time—that will only make you a passing财神.
My ironclad trading rules: light-position trial trades; enter with a stop-loss; if you’re wrong, admit it—if you win, take profit.
No trading against the trend, no holding and hoping, no adding to a dead position. The contract market isn’t about who has the biggest nerve—it’s about who can live the longest.
With small principal, you need to be even more稳.
First make sure you aren’t eliminated; only then do you have the资格 to wait for big opportunities.
