$ZEC contract trading, what is the most common pitfall for beginners? It's not that the market isn't moving in the right direction, but rather impulsively going all-in and then having your account wiped out.

Honestly, with 1000U, you could make some moves in the contract market, but the problem is—most people don't even know how to play. I've seen too many people open 50x leverage right from the start, as if by some mystical logic, and when the market fluctuates, their accounts are wiped clean. Then they start complaining about the market being black or bad luck. Don't do that; contracts are not about who is bolder, but about who survives longer.

So how can you make sure that 1000U isn't wasted? It's simple—don't rush to make money first. Learning to preserve your capital is the first lesson.

The most basic approach is diversification. Split 1000U into 5 parts, each 200U, using 10x leverage. Keep the remaining money as your safety net. When a single loss hits 200U, cut your losses and exit—never chase after the position. And if you make a profit? Take it out immediately. For example, if you earn 500U, withdraw 300U first, and keep 200U to continue trading. Holding cash keeps your mindset stable. Better to earn a little less than to let a sharp fluctuation wipe you out.

The core of contract trading is actually one word: discipline.

If your daily loss reaches 2% of your account, be cautious. If it hits 6%, stop trading altogether. Every entry must have a pre-set stop-loss point; accept a loss of 100 to 200U and cut your losses directly. When taking profits, don't be greedy—secure your gains with a 30% retracement. Want to increase your position? Only do so gradually with a pyramid approach; never chase the market up or down.

Did you know? Even top traders have a win rate of around 60%. As long as you stick to these rules, you'll already be ahead of most people. This method doesn't promise any fancy tricks; it’s about the hard truth of survival.
