Many beginners start trading contracts with 1000U, but after one or two trades, they lose it all. Let me share my practical approach.

First, never invest everything at once. My method is to split it into 5 parts, each 200U, and trade with 10x leverage. Why do this? Many newcomers increase leverage too much and panic when their account fluctuates. Panic leads to reckless actions, and they end up losing even faster. The remaining 800U is kept in financial products, which helps maintain a calmer mindset.

What if one 200U portion is lost? Don't rush to add more. Stop and reflect on why you lost, take a break for 1-2 days, then continue. Preserving your principal is the top priority.

Once your mindset is adjusted, divide the remaining 800U into 5 parts again and start over, trading more cautiously this time. Suppose you make 500U profit; my approach is to transfer 300U out, leaving only 200U to continue trading. Many people are reluctant to take profits and end up losing everything in one bad move.

Here's a reality check: with 10x leverage, if you go the wrong direction, a 10% drop will liquidate your position. BTC's annual fluctuation of 20% is common; full position trading will eventually wipe you out. Even experienced traders with a 60% win rate are considered very good, so position management is key.

Discipline must be followed: if daily losses exceed 2% of total funds, be alert; if losses reach 6%, close all losing contracts; after making profits, set a stop-loss to protect your capital, then rest for 2-3 days. Don't chase the market; adding positions requires skill. When your margin profit exceeds 200%, set a reasonable take-profit.

Advice for beginners: start with 300-500U, control leverage between 5-10x; always set a stop-loss; use the "30% profit retracement" strategy for take-profit; withdraw profits once earned, and start with 1000U each time to practice. Only after becoming proficient should you increase your position size.
