You have 1000U in hand and want to find a way out between Spot and contracts? Let’s clarify this painful truth: this 1000U is not a stake to multiply a hundred times; it is merely the eight lives you have bought. Newbies without guidance can only hope to survive in the contract market by relying on this methodology.

**Level 1: Cutting the Principal**

Divide 1000U into eight parts, with each part being 125U. Lock the remaining 875U in a cold wallet and don't touch a single cent. Only leave 125U in the account to participate in trading. The beauty of this approach is that when you look at the numbers in your account, you naturally won't have the guts to go all in. With such a small position, your hand won't shake when placing an order— that "all in" thought has long been extinguished. With this trick, you have already shaken off 90% of the retail investors.

**Level 2: Leverage Cap**

15x is a hard limit; don't even touch 20x. Within 15x, you still have a chance to breathe when the market fluctuates; once it exceeds 20x, a single spike can lead to liquidation. Leverage is essentially a double-edged sword—it can amplify your profits, but it can also push your losses to a desperate level. Don't dream of turning 1000U into 100,000U with 100x leverage; such things only exist in insider trading stories and are not meant for retail investors.

**Level 3: Stop Loss Execution**

10% of 125U is the warning line, which means a loss of 12.5U. At this point, immediately cut your position—no averaging down, no praying, and don't refresh the signal group. After cutting, leave the trading software, take a shower, or run a couple of laps downstairs. Delete the "break even" spell from your mind, as reviewing during a loss will only lead to further losses. Wait until your emotions have cooled down, then come back to look at the charts.

**Level 4: Profit Separation**

The moment the account rolls from 125U to 250U, immediately withdraw the 125U. After doing this, your principal becomes zero risk. Every subsequent dollar earned is pure profit making a charge. The principal is just a bridge to cross the river; the profit is the true moat that resists volatility—don't get it mixed up.

The reason for liquidation is never that the market is too fierce, but that people's hearts are too greedy. To win with 1000U, the first step is not to be bold, but to learn to be slow. Slow enough that others laugh at you for being timid, slow enough that the market's shakeout cannot wipe out your bottom line. With eight lives still in hand, there will always be opportunities to feast.
