After a week of experience in event contract trading, I am willing to share my experiences and results. The initial capital was set at 55.5U, with the main strategy centered around 5U units. In just a few days, I successfully accumulated it to 650U. Subsequently, I ambitiously planned a strategy aimed at increasing the capital tenfold, trading in 50U units. Unfortunately, this risky move nearly led to a total loss. After a continuous day and night of effort, with mental comfort and perseverance, I finally restored the funds to about 600U and resolutely decided to abandon the original tenfold growth plan. The primary consideration is that the capital scale is limited; even if we reach the preset upper limit of 250U, operating in 5U units can still flexibly respond and capture doubling opportunities. However, once we jump to 50U, although theoretically the returns accelerate, the logic of winning probability remains unchanged. Under the constraints of capital limits and scale, the fluctuations in mindset increase, and between winning and losing, it feels like heaven and hell can change in an instant, making it easy to destabilize decision-making.
Furthermore, as a small participant in the market, one should know their place and participate with a mindset of entertainment and learning, acting within their means, and not dreaming of sudden wealth. Those who can achieve great victories in the market are often seasoned players with substantial capital. Jumping from a few hundred U to tens of thousands of U, while not impossible, is a miracle that often does not belong to the majority. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain a calm mindset towards 5U units, with the key being to sustain a high win rate. If the winning rate is difficult to exceed 60% in ten trades, it may be time to stop and reassess the strategy.
In addition, it must be clear that this is not a simple game of guessing high or low. In-depth study of candlestick charts and real-time monitoring of the market are key to successful trading. Reasonably applying a three-position management strategy, when misjudging the ups and downs, quickly replenishing positions can help mitigate losses. Trading requires caution; before each operation, it is essential to think carefully. Once a failure occurs, promptly summarize the experience to avoid blindly following the trend, which could lead to irreparable losses. When in good condition and with a surplus in the account, it is possible to appropriately increase the trading scale. However, once encountering setbacks, one should immediately cut losses and not cling to the battle in an attempt to recover losses.
The above are my personal trading insights, and I hope to encourage everyone.
