#数字资产市场动态 Playing with small funds in contracts is the easiest way to get caught in pitfalls. How can accounts with a few hundred to 1000U survive? To put it simply, there's one trick: don't treat yourself as a big player and go all in recklessly.

Many beginners make the fatal mistake of going all-in. If you put 1000U all at once, that's not trading, that's gambling. I've seen many people do this, and the results are always the same.

A reasonable split is like this: divide 1000U into 5 parts, only use 200U each time to enter the market, and choose leverage between 5x and 10x. What about 50x or 100x? That's not a trading strategy; that's leaving opportunities for the market to insert needles.

The hardest part after a loss is not to add to the position. I've been there too—losing money and still feeling aggrieved, adding more and more until the account blows up. Now I understand—knowing when to stop is more difficult than deciding when to enter. Market opportunities are always there; what’s missing is that calmness.

When losing, take a break for two days, think clearly about why you lost, and come back only after adjusting your mindset. Don’t think about turning things around overnight—that’s the beginning of a nightmare. Money is made gradually.

And when you make a profit? Don’t take it all back. If you earn 500U, withdraw 300U to secure your gains, and continue trading with the remaining 200U. This way, you always have ammunition, and your operations become more stable. Floating profits are most easily wiped out on a single needle; don’t let your gains turn into illusions.

A reality many overlook: with 10x leverage in contracts, a 10% wrong direction can lead to liquidation. A 10% daily fluctuation in BTC is nothing. Even experienced traders only have about a 60% win rate; surviving depends on small positions and quick stop-losses.

My own bottom-line discipline is simple: if I lose 2% in a day, I become alert; if I lose 6%, I stop immediately. Profitable trades should first protect the principal, then let the profits run. Better to earn less than to make big money and end up wasting time.

To sum up for beginners: don’t be greedy with small funds, use low leverage, set stop-losses early, and take profits quickly. This is not investment advice, just the experience of someone who’s been there. Wishing everyone a longer life in contract trading.
