#RWA规模呈现持续扩张态势 【Using 1000 yuan principal for contracts, what is the easiest pitfall to fall into?】

I’ve seen too many novice traders, who just put 1000 yuan into their account and start dreaming of soaring to the sky. And then? One needle prick, and the account is wiped out. This isn’t a matter of market analysis ability, but rather treating oneself as if operating with a 100,000 yuan principal.

Surviving is simple; just remember one thing: don’t use all your bullets at once.

Divide 1000 yuan into 5 parts, and only use 200 yuan each time to enter the market. Keep leverage between 5 to 10 times; this range is sufficient. Those claims of 50x or 100x leverage? That’s not skill, it’s waiting for a margin call notification.

Here are the three most common pitfalls for beginners, I’ll summarize:

The first is losing more and adding more. Clearly losing but reluctant to cut losses, instead adding funds, getting more and more emotional, and finally ending up at zero. The second is trading continuously without rest, where emotions completely take over your brain. The third is making floating profits but leaving them untouched, watching the account balance grow, but never actually withdrawing a single penny.

The market never lacks opportunities; what’s missing is calmness. If you keep losing, take a day or two off, review what you did wrong. This is 100 times more effective than forcing a comeback.

The truly stable approach is this: when you make 500 yuan, immediately transfer 300 yuan out. The remaining 200 yuan continues to trade. Having real money in hand naturally stabilizes your mindset. Don’t let “what I’ve already earned” turn into “what I could have earned,” leaving regrets.

Here’s a reality many overlook: with 10x leverage, just a 10% wrong move in direction can wipe you out. And a 10% fluctuation in Bitcoin in a single day is very common. Why do experienced traders last longer? Not because they predict more accurately, but because they keep their positions small, run fast enough, and admit mistakes promptly.

My own strict discipline is this: when losing 2% in a day, remind myself. When losing 6%, stop trading immediately. For profitable trades, first protect the principal, then let it run. Only when you don’t lose money do you have the qualification to talk about making money.

Contracts are essentially a “double-edged sword.” When used correctly, they amplify your trading efficiency; when used wrongly, they magnify human weaknesses. Small funds aiming to double rely on time and discipline accumulation, not a single all-in shot.

Remember this: money is earned gradually, not by risking everything.

Are your current troubles mainly about position sizing, or about your mindset?
