#数字资产市场动态 00 new traders born after 2000 start trading contracts with 100 USD, focusing only on two directions on the first day
Just a couple of days into the crypto world, I took out 100 USD to test the waters with contracts. Honestly, I was a bit nervous, after all, this is real money. In the end, I decided to stick with two: Bitcoin and Solana.
Why these two? It's not because I'm particularly smart, but because these two coins' contracts are the most active, and beginners can easily understand their trends. $BTC's size is obvious, with regular fluctuations; $SOL has been quite hot recently, with many ecosystem projects and relatively transparent news.
On the first day of placing orders, my palms were sweaty. I started with small positions, using 5x leverage (later I thought this multiplier was still too conservative, haha). Watching the candlesticks move, that feeling... how to say, it's much more exciting than playing games.
Although I didn't make much profit on the first day, I at least survived. The biggest takeaway is understanding a principle — contracts are not gambling. You need to understand some fundamentals and technical analysis. The trends of Bitcoin and Altcoin are indeed logical, not just random movements.
I'll keep reviewing and try to grow this 100 USD slowly. Are you also trading contracts? Share your ideas!

Haha, you didn't get liquidated on the first day, you've already beaten most of the newbies in the crypto world.
5x leverage is still safe? Bro, you're way too cautious. The first time I went in, I used full leverage and then... never mind, I won't say it.
HODLing BTC and SOL is indeed the safest choice, at least you don't have to research the fundamentals of altcoins every day.
Surviving is victory. Keep grinding. How much 100U can grow depends on your mindset. Don't be greedy.

5x leverage still dares to call it safe, buddy, your mindset is quite something
---
Not getting liquidated on the first day counts as a win, the rest depends on how long you can hold
---
Slowly rolling 100u? Brother, how long do you have to roll to see the end
---
Only focusing on two directions is stable? I suggest you add two more, so losses are more balanced
---
Sweaty palms are a normal reaction, and if one day you stop sweating, it’s actually dangerous
---
Another new rookie poisoned by contracts, I hope you maintain your stance until the end of the month

Sounds nice, but it’s basically gambling, stop pretending

Surviving is winning, I’ve said that before, and then next week it’s gone

Playing with 5x leverage on just 100u, you really have guts haha. You'll regret it when it blows up.

Bro, 5x leverage still considered "too safe"? First, check the recent flow data of the BTC wallet addresses before making any judgments. Are big players moving funds without you knowing?
Trying a $100 test contract sounds easy, but what you should really watch is the withdrawal volume from exchange cold wallets—that's the real indicator. Is the SOL ecosystem transparent? I’ve tracked a few suspicious addresses, and the concentration of funds is alarmingly high. Would you call this a risk signal?
"Not gambling"—listen, this is what the rookies love to say. Not understanding both technical and fundamental analysis doesn't mean you'll survive; on-chain data won't lie. I suggest you review the flow of the Bitcoin wallet during your analysis, don’t just focus on candlestick charts.

Playing with 5x leverage on just 100u, little brother, you're really brave. I went in for the first time and got liquidated immediately.
