From 1000U to 10W U: I rely on 5 iron rules to make a profit, newbies should not let "All in" ruin their principal.



Having played contracts for so long, the most fortunate thing is not rolling from 1000U to 10W U, but rather not going all in or gambling on luck throughout the process, relying entirely on a set of "winning logic" that I have thoroughly understood. Many newbies rush in with a full position as soon as they enter, only to regret it when they get liquidated in the end. Today, I will share my 5 core methods to help you avoid the pitfall of "going to zero overnight."

First, the principal is divided into 5 parts, and there is always a way out if something goes wrong. From the very beginning, I set a strict rule for myself: never go all in. I split 1000U into 5 parts, using only 200U to enter the market each time. This way, even if I make a wrong move, I will only lose at most 2% of the total capital; losing 5 times in a row would only result in a 10% loss, which won't be devastating. It's like going to the supermarket with pocket money; even if I buy the wrong thing, I can still use the remaining money to buy a cup of milk tea, and my mindset will never collapse.

The second point is to stop immediately after 5 consecutive losses; don't stubbornly fight against a chaotic market. The market isn't always easy to trade; sometimes it fluctuates wildly, making it easy to make wrong judgments. I set a "circuit breaker" for myself: as soon as I have 5 consecutive losses, no matter how reluctant I am, I immediately shut down my computer and stop watching the market, taking a day off first. Many times, after waiting for the next day, the previously chaotic trend becomes clear; if I had insisted at that moment, I would only have lost more.

Thirdly, withdraw once you earn enough 3000U; it's better to secure your profits than to aim for bigger numbers. As long as the U in your account is not withdrawn to your own wallet, it will always be "virtual" – you might encounter platform issues, or the market might suddenly reverse. I have a habit: every time I earn 3000U, I withdraw at least 1500U to my own controlled wallet. Don’t think about "waiting to earn a bit more to withdraw together"; securing your profits is what truly counts.

Article 4: Only trade clear trends, and never touch choppy markets. The leverage in contracts is a double-edged sword: during a one-way trend, 100x leverage can double your profits, like a rocket boost; but when it comes to choppy markets, leverage becomes a "meat grinder," sweeping through stop losses and resulting in losses no matter the operation. Therefore, I never wait for "ambiguous opportunities"; when I can't see a clear direction, I prefer to stay in cash and play dead, waiting for the trend to establish before entering, as hitting the target in one shot is much more reliable than frequent operations.

Article 5: The position should never exceed 10% of the principal; staying alive is the key to winning. Newbies always think about "going all in to recoup losses," but in contracts, "surviving" is the top priority. Every time I place an order, I keep my position within 10% of the principal, even if it's a 100,000 U account, I only move around 30 U per trade. With a lighter position, even if I'm wrong, I won't panic; I can stay calm during operations, which makes it easier to seize the right opportunities.

Finally, I want to tell newbies: contracts are never a shortcut to "get rich overnight" but a long-term battle that requires patience. Don’t be tempted by short-term profits, and don’t approach trading with a "gambling" mindset. Stick to these 5 iron rules: first ensure you don’t lose, then gradually earn; this is more important than anything else.
