1000U Contract Survival Manual: A Guide for Beginners with No One to Lead
First, the conclusion: 1000U is not about turning your chips into 100 times, but rather buying a ticket for 8 lives.
1. Split Life: Cut 1000U into 8 pieces, each piece 125U
Always keep only 125U in your wallet, and put the remaining 875U in a cold wallet. When the account shows only 12.5%, anyone would feel scared; when there is only 12.5% position left, anyone dares to place an order. Remove the term “all in” from your dictionary, and you will be ahead of 90% of people.
2. Cap: Don't exceed 15X leverage
Within 15X, you can still breathe when the market shakes; above 20X, a single needle can burst your heart. Remember: leverage is a magnifying glass, not a money printer. Don’t fantasize that 100X will turn 1000U into 100,000U; that script is for insiders and quant traders, not for you.
3. Sever Finger: If you lose 12.5U, shut down immediately
10% of 125U is 12.5U; when you hit the line, cut it off, don’t average down, don’t pray, don’t look at the group. After cutting the position, go take a shower, run a couple of laps downstairs, and format the words “break even” from your mind. Loss recovery always waits for a calm heart; otherwise, reviewing losses is just re-losing.
4. Lock in Profit: When you make 125U, withdraw 125U first
When the account grows from 125U to 250U, immediately transfer out 125U. From then on, your principal has become 0 risk, and every additional 1U you earn is profit charging forward. Profit is the moat against volatility; the principal is just a bridge to cross the river; don’t treat the bridge as a ship.
Epilogue
Liquidation is not because the market is too harsh, but because human hearts are too greedy. If you want to win with 1000U, first learn to be slow; slow enough for others to mock your timidity, slow enough that the market can’t shake you off.
As long as 8 lives remain, there will always be a time for you to feast.
I once walked alone in the dark, and now the torch is in my hand.
As long as the fire doesn't go out, the road is there. Will you follow, or not?
