How to Control Position Management in Trading?

In contract trading, position management is the core of avoiding liquidation and controlling risk. Beginners just need to remember the following 5 points, which are simple and practical:

1. Enter with a Light Position, Single Trade Risk ≤ 2%

Each trade should risk no more than about 10% of the total capital. For example, if the account has 10,000 yuan, the maximum loss per trade is 1,000 yuan.

Position Calculation Formula:

Position = Total Capital × Risk Ratio ÷ Stop Loss Margin

For example: If the account has 10,000 yuan, stop loss margin is 5%, and risk ratio is 5%, then Position = \(10,000 × 5\% ÷ 5\% = 1,000 yuan\) (only place a 1,000 yuan order).

2. The Higher the Leverage, the Lighter the Position

Leverage ≠ a tool for making money, but a risk amplifier! With 100x leverage, a 1% price fluctuation can lead to liquidation.

Advice for Beginners:

100x leverage → Single position ≤ 10% of total capital

200x leverage → Single position ≤ 5% of total capital

3. Open Positions in Batches, Add to Profits

The initial position should not exceed 50% of the planned position. After confirming the direction is correct, add positions in batches.

Add positions when profitable: each time the position increases, the amount decreases (e.g., first time 30%, second time 20%).

Do not add positions when losing! Do not "average down," just cut losses directly.

4. Always Set Stop Loss, Refuse to Hold Losing Positions

Immediately set a stop loss after opening a position: the stop loss margin should be based on technical analysis (such as support and resistance levels) or a fixed percentage (such as 3%-5%).

Stop loss is a lifeline! If losses reach the planned amount (for example, 5%-10% of total capital), exit decisively.

5. Keep Total Position Under 30%

The total position of contracts held at the same time should not exceed 30% (for example, for a 10,000 yuan account, total position ≤ 3,000 yuan).

In extreme market conditions, reduce it by half (for example, during large fluctuations or black swan events, reduce total position to below 15%).

Summary in One Sentence

Light Position (small money for trial and error) + Stop Loss (lose less, earn more) + No Holding Losing Positions (acknowledge mistakes) = The Core of Surviving
