Many people just start trading contracts wanting to make big profits, but the result is often account liquidation. Today, let's talk about how to play with 1000U in a reliable way.

**Funds should be diversified**

Don’t try to go all-in at once. Split 1000U into 5 parts, and only use 200U each time. A leverage of 5-10x is enough. Many beginners start with 50x leverage, and a 2% fluctuation can break their mentality, leading to distorted operations. What about the remaining money? Put it into financial products or cold wallets, and stick to strict discipline. Even if you lose one part, you still have the chance to adjust.

**Stop loss when losing, don’t add blindly**

If you lose 200U in one trade, the most common mistake is to add to the position. I used to do this badly in my early years, and the more I added, the deeper I sank. Instead of stubbornly fighting, take 1-2 days to calmly review and figure out where the problem lies. Market opportunities come every month; what you lose isn’t opportunity but possibly your principal. After reflection, split the remaining 800U into smaller parts (for example, 160U each) and restart.

**Take profits and withdraw**

Suppose you make 500U profit. The smart move is to transfer at least 300U to a secure wallet, leaving only 200U to continue trading. The benefit of this is that your mentality will be much steadier—seeing the actual profit in your wallet makes you realize you didn’t work in vain. Conversely, some rely on floating gains and dream, but a single correction can drop them from heaven to hell.

**Risk control discipline is the lifeline**

If daily losses exceed 2% of your total funds, be alert. When it reaches 6%, immediately close the software and take a break—don’t stare at the screen anymore. After making a profit, set a stop-loss to protect the gains, allowing that portion of profit to run. Don’t chase highs or sell lows. There are only two good times to add positions: either on an already profitable basis or during deep retracements using pyramid entries.

When floating profits are particularly high (for example, over 200%), also be cautious—use strategies like “exit after a 40% retracement” for half of your position to protect, and set a break-even stop-loss for the other half.

**Summary of key points**

Starting with 300-500U is the most stable choice, with 5-10x leverage just enough. Decide your stop-loss points before entering (for example, exit immediately if losing 100-200U), and use methods like “profit retracement of 30%” for take profit. Take profits regularly and withdraw, using this 1000U to hone your skills and mentality first, then consider adding more.

Money grows little by little; it’s not a one-shot gamble. Many lose because of their mentality, thinking they can predict the market, only to get liquidated as a lesson. Instead of blind operation, set clear rules for yourself—when to enter, when to exit, when to rest. Follow discipline; even if you don’t make big money, at least your principal remains, and you can seize the next opportunity.
