Brothers, if you want to survive longer in contracts, remember the six-character mantra: “Light positions, control losses, follow trends, add positions, exit, compound interest”! Each step has practical standards; beginners can directly copy the homework to avoid 90% of the liquidation traps!
Light positions: 10% position is the bottom line, going all in is definitely a loss.
❌踩雷: If you go all in right away, a small pullback will lead to liquidation, and your principal will be gone in an instant; ✅Dry goods: Start positions ≤ 10% of total funds, for example, with 100,000 principal, the maximum investment for a single order is 10,000; 💡Key: Light positions buy 'error correction opportunities', with low positions, the mindset is stable, and you won’t be crushed by fluctuations.
Control losses: Run immediately if you lose 3%, don’t wait for a rebound.
❌ Pitfall: Stop-loss relies entirely on memory, losing 3% and still hoping for a rebound, ultimately losing 50% before cutting losses; ✅ Key Point: Set a stop-loss price before opening a position, if opening a position of 10,000, set a loss of 300 for automatic closure, do not change it manually; 💡 Key: Stop-loss is 'life-saving money', willing to lose this 3% to stay in the market for profit opportunities.
Trend Following: Judge with 2 signals, do not blindly bottom-fish
❌ Pitfall: Operating against the trend based on feelings, bottom fishing and topping out leads to greater losses; ✅ Key Point: Open a position only when two conditions are met: the moving average is clearly bullish/bearish, and the trading volume is more than double the usual; 💡 Key: Trend-following trades have a risk-reward ratio that is three times better, which is much easier than stubbornly countering the trend.
Averaging Down: Only add to profitable trades, do not average down on losing trades
❌ Pitfall: Losing trades are frantically averaged down, starting with 10,000 and averaging up to 50,000 still trapped; ✅ Key Point: Only trend-following trades can earn 1R (for example, 10,000 earns 1,000), and the added position must be ≤ 50% of the initial position; 💡 Key: Averaging down is like stepping on the gas, first confirm the direction is correct, then accelerate to avoid crashing.
Exit: Withdraw cash weekly, only what is in hand counts as profit
❌ Pitfall: Earned 50,000 but did not withdraw, when the market retraces, all profits are gone; ✅ Key Point: Withdraw 20%-30% of profits to the bank account every week, earn 10,000 and transfer 2,000-3,000; 💡 Key: The money in the bank account is the real profit, don’t bet with the market that it 'can still rise'.
Compound Interest: 50% profits rolled over, guaranteed profit without greed
✅ Key Point: Withdraw 50% of profits, use the remaining profits as margin, and repeat 'light positions → risk control → trend following'; 💡 Key: Some people have been doing this for half a year, growing a 20,000 account to 60,000, which is much more stable than betting on market trends!
