The most common questions new contract traders ask are nothing more than these: How can I avoid liquidation with a principal of 1000U? Is the leverage set too low, causing slow gains? Actually, the root of these questions is the same—there's no established scientific position management system.

Instead of rushing to make quick money, it's better to first learn how to survive. Most traders blow up not because the market is too fierce, but because they go all-in at the start, and when the direction reverses, they are out.

**Position Sizing is the First Line of Defense**

Divide 1000U into 10 parts, trading only 100U each time. Keep the remaining 900U in a financial account, and don't touch it for now. This may seem simple, but it gives you "a chance to recover after a mistake." Many beginners never recover from a mistake because they never seriously consider this point.

**Leverage Should Be Rational**

Within 20x is a relatively safe range. This leverage can handle normal market fluctuations without breaking your psychological defenses. You're here to make money, not to gamble. High leverage may seem to bring quick wealth, but in reality, it often accelerates liquidation.

**Stop-Loss Must Be Decisive**

If you lose 100U, just accept the loss, then review. Don't hope to make up for it by adding positions, don't try to turn the tide by increasing leverage, and don't hold on waiting for a rebound. If you really lose, stop. Take 1-2 days to calmly analyze and identify the problem.

**Rhythm Determines Long-Term Profitability**

Adjust your state before continuing. Take another portion from the 900U for trading. If you make 300U this round, transfer 200U back to the financial account, leaving only 100U for the next round. Gradually increase your principal, rather than going all-in at once.

**A 90% Win Rate Can Still Lead to a Big Loss**

Remember this logic: even with a 90% win rate, one full-position mistake can leave you "beyond redemption." The crypto market is highly volatile, and without position management and mental resilience, you won't go far. Contract trading is ultimately a test of human nature—don't fear slow gains, fear quick death.

This method may sound simple, but it has saved many traders' careers. Those who can survive long in the crypto space are never the gamblers who get rich overnight, but traders who understand risk control, emotional management, and patience.
