#美联储重启降息步伐 Newbies want to try contracts? First, understand these survival rules

Contract trading is like a level-based game: win and you level up, lose and it’s Game Over. Want to last longer? Remember these tips:

Don’t mess with leverage, play it safe
As a newbie, stick to 3-5x leverage. Those 20x or 50x plays? That’s basically dancing on a knife’s edge. Don’t ask how I know—there are plenty of people crying in the liquidation chat groups.

Set your stop-loss right away, no hesitation
The market never waits for you to break even. Just set an automatic stop-loss (cut your losses at 5%-8%), and don’t hold onto the fantasy of “just wait, it’ll go up.” Leave when you have to—protect your capital first.

Never go all-in with your funds
Going all-in is a rookie mistake. Start small, enter in batches, and always keep some funds on hand so you can average down or switch positions. Otherwise, one pullback will wipe you out.

Follow the trend, don’t fight the market
Go long when it’s rising, short when it’s falling—this is called riding the trend. Insist on going against it? The market will humble you faster than you think.

Keep your emotions in check, stay calm to survive
Getting excited and adding to your position when it’s up, or panicking and trying to save it when it’s down—this leads to “small gains, big losses, liquidation in the end.” True pros wait for opportunities; they don’t chase them.

In short: You can trade contracts, but you need to learn to “control risk, follow the trend, and keep your emotions stable.” Don’t let temporary greed turn into permanent liquidation.
