#数字资产市场动态 Newbie contract traders are most likely to make mistakes not in the market itself, but in a single all-in bet or going broke in one shot.
A principal of 1000U is not small; the key is how you use it. I've seen too many people start with 50x leverage and full position, and when the market fluctuates slightly, their accounts are gone, then they start blaming the market, the market makers, or luck. To be honest, it's not the market that’s cruel, but the mentality that’s too impatient.
Trading contracts is never about how big your guts are, but about how long you can survive. Want to turn around with small funds? The first lesson isn’t how to make money, but to avoid dying first.
The method is actually simple—control your position size, then control your desires. Diversify your funds, never go all-in at once. Use small positions with reasonable leverage, and the remaining money is your "insurance fund." If you can’t hold this position, cut your losses and exit; don’t chase or fight hard.
When you have profits, be even more cautious. Take some out, leave room in your account, and your mindset will naturally stabilize. Earning slowly is always better than being knocked out by a single fluctuation.
The core of trading contracts boils down to two words: discipline. Know how much you can lose each day and stop; set stop-loss on every trade; lock in profits when you’re ahead, don’t expect to eat the entire market move; only add positions in line with the trend, never chase hot spots.
This isn’t a secret to get rich overnight; it’s a survival method in the market. What you want is long-term stability, not temporary thrill.

You speak very clearly, the key is not to be greedy. I was also a fool who went all-in at 50x leverage early on, and my account was wiped out in one wave. Now I only take small positions to experiment; staying alive is the hard truth.

The word discipline is easy to say but hard to do. When it comes to profit, you want to go all-in, but then a reverse candlestick wipes you out. A painful lesson.

It's the contract that’s the problem. When I make some money, I get impatient and must take all the profits before I’m satisfied. As a result, I get slapped in the face and probably won’t survive the next wave of volatility.

Playing with 1000U can lead to steady growth if done well, but if not, you’re gone in two weeks. The problem isn’t the small capital, it’s that human nature simply can’t hide greed.

I’ve seen too many stories of all-in bets, and they usually end the same way. For coins like SOL with such wild fluctuations, not setting a stop-loss is just gambling with your life.

It’s really a mindset issue. When you make some money, you want to double it; when you lose a bit, you want to recover it. Poor psychological resilience means you’ll never last long.

Wow, really. I've seen so many people go all-in with 1000U and 50x leverage, and their accounts are gone in just a few minutes, blaming the market haha.
Discipline is easy to talk about but really hard to practice. I myself often break it too.

Exactly right. The guys around me who had dreams of getting rich quick are suffering from this problem. They go all-in with 50x leverage in one wave and lose it all, and then complain every day... It's just a lack of discipline.

You're so right. I'm that kind of idiot who starts with a 50x leverage, blames the market when the account gets wiped out... Now I finally realize that staying alive is the top priority.
