For friends with contract principal under 200U, spend one minute to finish reading this. It can help you avoid half a year of detours and say goodbye to blind, reckless trading.

I once knew a new trader who had just entered the market. At its lowest point, his account only had 1,900U left, standing right on the edge of liquidation—he almost just gave up on the spot. Later, he calmed down and changed his approach. In five months, he slowly built it up to 110,000U. Now his account is stable at over 320,000U. All the way through, he didn’t rely on luck or gambling—he just followed three practical ideas that most people never bother to explain clearly.

First, completely quit the bad habit of “all-in.” Divide your funds evenly into three parts: one for short-term trades—only take clearly defined small swings, and when you hit your preset target, get out. Never greedily hang on to squeeze the very last bit of profit. One part is reserved specifically to wait for major trend opportunities; don’t use it for frequent short-term fiddling. The last part is your reserve—don’t touch it unless you’re absolutely sure. The biggest advantage of small capital has never been making money quickly; it’s being able to survive in the market for longer.

Second, trade only the certain trends you can clearly understand. Most of the time, the market is stuck in a choppy grind with no real opportunities. When there’s nothing, be patient and wait. Only trade after you truly confirm the trend. People who open trades every day are often just helping the platform collect fees. Those who can steadily profit are usually the ones who can wait calmly for signals.

Third, use iron discipline to contain your trading behavior. Strictly cap loss per trade within a level you can tolerate; once the stop-loss is triggered, you leave immediately. When profits reach a stage target, take some off the table first; then let the remaining position run with the market. Never “double down” to patch losses with random averaging—don’t use new mistakes to cover up earlier judgment errors.

There’s no shortcut for growing small capital into big capital. Trade less, keep position sizes light, and stick to the rules. Step by step, trade steadily one by one, and time will naturally give you results.
