Many beginners who just step into contracts share a common problem—tight funds, clumsy techniques, and a meltdown in mentality after a loss. Frankly, this is normal. But how can you survive in contracts and gradually make money? Today, let's be straightforward.



Suppose you only have 1000U. The first step is diversification. Split it into 10 parts, only trade 100U each time, using 20x leverage. Put the remaining 900U into a financial account to earn interest—absolutely avoid full position. If this 100U is lost? Don't rush to replenish. Pause for 1 to 2 days, cool down, reflect properly, then re-enter.

When starting over, split the remaining 900U into 10 parts (each 90U), and be more cautious this time. Take profits gradually, don’t be greedy. Mindset is the most valuable thing in contracts.

Ultimately, trading isn’t about luck; it’s about position management. If you go the wrong way, 10x leverage can blow up at any time; full positions are even more suicidal. No matter how skilled a trader is, a single heavy position blow-up makes all previous gains worthless.

So remember: always keep positions light. If losses exceed 2%, sound the alarm; if losses reach 6%, close everything and take a few days off. Don’t chase after rises and falls, and never add to positions emotionally. If you add, do it happily; if not, wait until the correction is fully over.

When profits exceed 200%, set some profits to lock in with a retracement stop-loss, and set others at a break-even point. That way, the money you make won’t run away.

When you’re feeling down, life changes, or you’ve been losing consecutively, don’t trade for now. Avoid trading against the trend at all costs. But keep some core positions; only when a good trend appears will you have bullets to make money.

For beginners, the recommended operation is: start with 30 to 50U, 20x leverage, set a stop-loss of 20 to 30 dollars, and exit with profit when a 30% retracement occurs. As long as you’re profitable, withdraw immediately. Each deposit should be between 500 to 1000U—don’t rush in with too much at once.

Spend time practicing, develop a feel for the market, and don’t expect to get rich overnight. Once your techniques are solid, profits will come naturally.

Taking a small position is the real way to survive; full position is equivalent to suicide. --- The mentality explosion really hit the mark; it's always been this way to lose. --- 200% take profit is brilliant; I need to think it over carefully. --- Another one saying don't be greedy, but when it comes to actually trading, everyone is greedy, haha. --- Position management is correct, but the execution ability is far from enough. --- Pausing for 1 to 2 days to cool down is very important; reflection is more important than operation. --- Starting with 50U as a beginner is reliable; don't expect to get rich right away. --- The base position must be kept; this is easily overlooked.

That's right, a small position is really a lifeline. The full-position group will get in sooner or later. A shattered mentality is not as effective as just taking a few days off; it's more practical than preaching. This diversification method sounds simple, but sticking to it is the hard part. Losing 2% and ringing the alarm? That requires a lot of self-discipline.

Small positions are the key, full positions are just giving money to the exchange.
