Three years ago, I had a friend who, during his first experience with contracts, started with a mere 1000U. He thought he was just testing the waters, but after a few successful trades, his capital had grown to 9000U in three months.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last. He failed to secure his profits in time, became greedy, and increased his leverage, ultimately losing everything overnight. Watching him go from excitement to despair made me realize: making money is one thing, but preserving profits is the key.
Today, I want to share not a myth of getting rich quickly, but a set of contract strategies that have helped me survive steadily.
I split my initial capital into 30 parts, using only 40U each time, and no matter how favorable the market conditions, I stick to a small position. I keep my leverage fixed at around 30 times; if I predict correctly, the returns are substantial, but even if I get it wrong, it won’t break me. It’s not about hitting a jackpot once, but about steady accumulation.
Along the way, I have summarized five self-protection principles:
1. Be decisive with stop-losses
The worst fear is not the loss itself, but the dragging out. As soon as I hit my pre-set stop-loss point, I don’t hesitate; I close the position immediately to avoid one mistake drowning the entire account.
2. Take a break after three consecutive losses
The worst thing in contracts is getting emotional. My rule is: if I make three successive wrong judgments in one day, I stop trading immediately for that day. Taking a day off prevents me from falling into a vicious cycle of increasing losses.
3. Cash out profits promptly
The numbers on the account can evaporate at any moment. I set a standard: for every 800U profit, I withdraw a portion to ensure that what I have in hand is real.
4. Only trade trends, avoid ranging
When the market is unclear, trading often leads to being chopped up. I only enter trades when the trend is clear; I would rather trade less than trade randomly.
5. Never exceed 5% position size
Position control is crucial. No matter how confident I am, a single position should never exceed 5% of the total capital, which helps maintain a stable mindset.
With these principles, I now spend less than an hour watching the market daily and no longer stay up late monitoring it. Trading contracts is not about who is bolder, but about who can last longer.
The market is still brewing, and if you don’t yet understand how to play, that’s okay. Join me in laying out strategies, and let’s get rich together in this bull market!
