#大户持仓动态 Many beginners ask right away when they enter the contract market: How can I make money?

To be honest, there's already a problem with this question.

What you should really be thinking about is not how to make money, but how not to get knocked out. Take 1000U as an example, don't think about making a big move right away. Treat it as multiple lifelines, and only use a small portion each time to test the waters, while leaving the rest untouched. Remember, you're not here to showcase trading skills; you're here to stay at this table for the long term.

The most critical thing after a loss is to quickly add to your position. At that moment, you're no longer trading; you're fighting your emotions. The correct approach is actually very simple: pause, analyze where things went wrong, and it's best to rest for a day or two before acting again. The market won't run away, but once emotions take over, that's when real disaster happens.

When you start making money, you need to stay even more alert. Take out some profits if possible; having a reserve in your account will change your mindset completely. If you keep all your profits in the market, it may seem aggressive, but a black swan event can wipe you out instantly.

Don't put too much emphasis on win rate. Even if you are right nine out of ten times, poor position management and ineffective stop-loss settings can make that one mistake cost you dearly. Ultimately, contract trading is not about how accurate your predictions are, but whether you can stick to risk control discipline.

Another very important principle: when you're not in the right state, don't trade. After continuous losses, when you're upset, or when your life is a mess, your trading actions are mostly emotional venting, not rational decisions.

If you're a beginner or always find it hard to control impulsive trades, the clear direction is: trade lightly to survive, set stop-losses, and withdraw profits when you make them. Trading is not about who makes the most in a short period, but about who can persist the longest.

To pay less tuition and avoid more pitfalls, follow a logical approach with rhythm and risk control. It might make trading much easier.
