Newcomers are most afraid of one thing—going all in and instantly getting liquidated. Although 1000U isn't much, using the right method can truly lead to steady growth. The key is six words: split, discipline, calm mindset.

**How should funds be allocated to avoid losing everything overnight?**

The simplest way is to divide 1000U into 10 parts, using 100U each time. What's the benefit of doing this? Even if all 100U are lost, you still have 900U as "life-saving money." Keep leverage below 20x, no matter how tempting it is. After earning 300U, what then? Continue practicing with 100U, and withdraw the other 200U directly. This is called locking in profits; real money counts.

**Poor position management makes any amount of capital useless**

The maximum loss per trade should be 2%. If you lose three times in a row, stop immediately and cool down for two days before trading again. If a single loss reaches 6%, cut it off—don't wait. Conversely, if you make a profit, don't be too greedy—set stop-loss and take-profit levels. If your margin increases by 200%, lock in half first—that's called knowing how to earn and how to protect.

**Mindset determines how far you can go**

When you're in a bad mood or experiencing multiple losses, avoid trading. Don't chase gains, don't trade against the trend, and don't impulsively place orders. These three "don'ts" will help you survive longer.

**How to open practical trades?**

Start with 30 to 50U, keep leverage within 20x. If you lose 20 to 30U, cut your position immediately. If you gain, take profits when a 30% retracement occurs. Always withdraw profits—don't expect to hold onto big market moves forever.

The futures market is like holding a knife; if you don't hold it steadily, you'll get cut. Opportunities are always there; only those who survive are qualified to talk about profits.

That's so true, going all-in is just seeking death. My friend bet everything with $1000 in one shot and lost it all in three days. He's still pretending to be dead in the group. This set of 10 legal copies is indeed good, but the key is whether you can stick with it. Most people start to get reckless after earning $200. Leverage of 20x sounds safe, but in reality, a market wave can still wipe you out instantly. I've seen many get eaten up by the platform. There's nothing wrong with having the right mindset; after three consecutive losses, you should quit. Otherwise, the more you lose, the more anxious you become, and you end up losing even faster. Raising this suggestion is truly important. Many people make a profit and want to earn another, but end up losing it all back, which is painful. The contract market really is like this—without risk management, you're just gambling, not trading.

It sounds good, but there are very few who can truly do it. I've seen too many people read articles like this and think they've had an epiphany, only to still be unable to break the habit of going all-in.

That's right, cutting losses tests your character the most. I was greedy before and ended up losing 200U, down to 50U.

You're right, the key is to stay alive to make money; if you're dead, you have nothing. --- Everyone who went all-in has gone to feed the fish. Splitting is truly a lifesaver. --- I'm weakest on take-profit; I always think about taking another shot, but end up losing everything—what a bloody history. --- 20x leverage? I definitely won't touch that, one try is enough. --- The most critical thing is to stop after three consecutive losses; many people just can't withstand this psychological torment. --- The phrase "withdraw real money" really hits home—how many people are fooling themselves into thinking they have money in their accounts. --- The hardest part is mindset; skills are actually simpler—it's just how it is. --- If you can't hold the knife steadily, you'll get cut sooner or later. No problem, the market is just that realistic. --- The 100U safety fund—why didn't I think of this before? Now I’ve lost everything, and that’s how it happened. --- Don't dream of a big market move? Huh, this is not quite what I expected.

Basically, it's about not being greedy. This is the hardest part to achieve. How many people can stop after a 2% loss?

Damn, isn't this just my blood, sweat, and tears? Three months ago, I had $1,000, and now I only have $200. This was before I did any of these.

No problem with what you said, but these two words are just too difficult... Seeing others make money makes me want to go all in.

That's right, this is exactly what I've been wanting to tell newbies—don't go all-in, that's a death sentence. Splitting 1000U into ten parts is really a genius move, equivalent to insuring yourself; even if you lose, you won't die. I was greedy before and lost everything in one go. Now I strictly stick to a 2% stop-loss, and I feel much more comfortable. The key is to stay disciplined: take profits and run, don't wait for a big market move—that's just a fantasy.
