A must-read for beginners: Six steps to create a sustainable and profitable contract strategy
For investors who are new to contract trading, frequent account liquidations and emotional fluctuations are the most common problems.
The key to solving these problems lies in a trading system that is replicable, executable, and highly risk-resistant.
Today, I will share a set of ideas that have been proven in practice: the six-step method of "light position + following the trend".
1. Start with a light position and refuse to gamble with a heavy position
In the initial stage, only 10% of the total funds are used to build a position.
Even if the judgment of the direction is strong, only a small amount of trial orders are made to avoid emotional operations.
Core concept: Contracts are not about risking life, but about extending the battle line and exchanging risk control for long-term winning rate.
2. Set a stop loss before trading
Each order has a clear stop loss point, and the maximum single loss does not exceed 5% of the total account amount.
Don't carry orders or take chances.
Execution discipline is more important than direction. Traders who can really survive are those who dare to stop losses.
3. Increase positions in line with the trend and gradually increase profits
Only when the direction is clear, consider increasing positions.
Each increase is based on the existing profit, and the profit is stopped in time when the market reverses.
Remember: the trend comes first, and increasing positions is not to make up for losses, but to expand profits.
4. Never increase positions in a counter-trend
Adding positions is only done when the trend is clear.
Many people "add more when the price falls", and as a result, they are repeatedly harvested.
Truly mature funds never "bottom-fish", but only increase positions on the way to confirm the rise.
5. Regular withdrawals to lock in results
If the profit is not realized, it is equal to a virtual number.
It is recommended to withdraw 20%-30% of the profit every week to put the profit in the bag.
Doing so can not only stabilize the mentality, but also make the next round of operations more objective and rational.
6. Compound interest operation, rolling position expansion
Leave half of the profit in the account to continue operating, forming compound interest rolling.
In the long run, small accounts also have the opportunity to achieve stable doubling.
Summary:
This strategy is not complicated, but it requires discipline, patience and long-term execution.
The essence of contract trading is never "calling orders", but controlling risks, trading with the trend, and winning in a stable manner.
Stop blindly betting on the direction of the market, it is better to learn to survive first.
May your next withdrawal date no longer be far away.
