Proven method: In April, I rolled from 5000U to 120,000U in 18 days: The core of not being liquidated in the contract trading in the crypto world is: Practical strategies for position management in the crypto space
Starting from 5000U and rolling to 120,000U is not a pipe dream,
but it requires precise strategies + strict position management.
The following are market-validated practical methods suitable for short-term/swing traders,
but the final step's "mysterious boost" is the key
Step 1: Fund allocation (How to bet with 5000U?)
Core principle: No all-in, no life gamble, roll with compound interest thinking
3000U (60%) → Low-risk stable trading (BTC/ETH swing)
1000U (20%) → High-odds altcoins (catching trends, such as AI, MEME, RWA)
500U (10%) → Contract hedging (only for extreme market protection)
500U (10%) → Cash reserve (waiting to buy the dip)
Beginner mistake**: Going all in on a certain coin or leveraging full margin to gamble direction
Step 2: Trading strategy (How to grow funds?)
1. Main battleground: BTC/ETH swing (3000U)
Strategy to swing at key support/resistance levels (e.g., buy when BTC drops to moving average support, sell when it rises to previous high resistance)
Goal: Earn 10-20% per swing, do it 2-3 times a month, roll with compound interest
2. High-impact points: High-odds altcoins (1000U)
Strategy: Only play low market cap coins with hot trends (e.g., new coin listings, sector rotation)
3. Hedging protection (500U contracts)
Usage: When the market experiences extreme conditions (e.g., before a crash), use 5-10x short positions to hedge and reduce spot losses
Step 3: Position management (How to avoid liquidation?)
Single trade ≤ 10% of principal (e.g., for a 5000U account, a single order ≤ 500U)
Hard stop loss ≤ 5% (cut losses at 500U, don’t hold on)
Take profit in batches (sell half when up 20%, hold the other half for higher gains)
Weekly review, cut weak coins, keep strong ones
Key mindset: Cut losses short, let profits run,” rather than “take a bit of profit and hold on through losses.
