Many beginners enter the market with the hope of turning things around overnight, only to be washed out during the first round of volatility.

What I want to say is that the primary task for beginners is not to catch the next big trend, but—don't be eliminated by the market.

The first lesson is actually simple: learn not to lose money first, then you have the qualification to talk about making money.

**Position Management is Fundamental**

Don't think about going all-in with a thousand bucks. Break it into parts and test the waters gradually. If the market isn't favorable, close your positions. Don't push leverage hard, and definitely don't go all-in at once. Losing that money is just tuition, but once emotions explode, close the position immediately—this is more effective than any operation.

Don't be greedy after making a profit. Take half of the small gains and secure them, then let the rest continue to grow. Only the money you actually withdraw counts. Floating profits in your account can turn into bubbles at any time.

**Risk Control is the Final Fortress**

Before each trade, think through the worst-case scenario. If you suffer a few losses, stop immediately—don't fight the market. When you don't understand the market conditions, staying out is actually the smartest choice.

This is a harsh reality—contracts can double your gains but can also wipe out your account.

The core goal during the beginner phase is to hone your trading rules and mindset with the smallest cost. No secret or skill is more important than staying alive. The market offers opportunities every day, but your principal only has one life.

In the end, those who can laugh last are those who know how to protect themselves.
