#ETH走势分析 If you're just starting out with cryptocurrency trading and have a principal of 1000U, I suggest you don't rush to think about how to double it.

$SOL First, understand one thing—surviving is more crucial than making quick money.

$XRP Many people go all-in on their first trade and end up getting liquidated and quitting the scene after a single pullback.

**How to Use Your Funds**

Don't invest the entire 1000U at once. You can do this: start by taking out 100U to test the waters, and put the remaining 900U in a financial product to earn steady interest—don’t touch it.

That 100U is your tuition fee. Don’t use too much leverage; 20x or less is enough. Newbies often make the mistake of increasing leverage when they see price swings, and if the direction is even slightly off, the margin gets wiped out instantly.

If you really lose the entire 100U, remember: don’t immediately add more funds. Stop, take a break for half a day to a day, and review where your judgment went wrong. There are trading opportunities every day, but once your mindset collapses, it’s hard to get back on track.

Once you've calmed down, divide the remaining 900U into 10 portions, and invest 90U each time. The goal this time is simple: steadily recover your previous losses. Suppose you make 300U, take 100U to continue rolling over, and withdraw the other 200U directly to your wallet or fiat account. The benefit of doing this is that even if you lose later, you’ve at least pocketed some real cash.

**A Few Disciplinary Rules**

Don’t let any single trade’s loss exceed 2% of your total funds. If you lose three trades in a row, force yourself to take a day off. If a single trade hits a 6% loss, close the position and stop out unconditionally. When you have profits, lock in your principal first, then consider how to handle the profits.

If your margin profit exceeds 200%, withdraw half and leave half to reinvest.

Going all-in is the pitfall most retail traders fall into. If you use 10x leverage, a 10% move against you will liquidate you. $BTC A 20% price swing in a year is very common; one liquidation can wipe out all previous gains.

Traders who can consistently make profits usually only have a win rate of around 60%, but they know how to control position size, strictly stop losses, and know when to exit. These basic things are often the key to survival.

**On Mindset**

If you find yourself experiencing big mood swings and losing several trades in a row, the most important thing is to stop trading. Don’t fight the trend, don’t chase highs, reduce your position size, and patiently wait for a signal.

There will always be trading opportunities, but a good mindset isn’t always easy to recover.

**Risks of Contract Trading**

Contracts are a double-edged sword—they can help you make money quickly, but can also wipe out your principal just as fast. There's nothing wrong with trading contracts, but you must understand the rhythm, position sizing, and stop-losses.

For beginners, I suggest:
- Only use 30 to 50U each time to test the waters
- Keep leverage under 20x
- Stop-loss at a loss of 20 to 30U
- Set trailing stop-profit when in profit, e.g., close the position if profits pull back 30%
- Withdraw some profits after making money; don’t keep it all on the exchange

There’s never a shortage of market opportunities, but what’s lacking is people who can survive until the next cycle.
