The core of making big profits with small funds has never been 'frequent trading to accumulate profits', but rather 'grabbing a few decisive opportunities'. The leap from 100u to 10000u is essentially about capturing 'high-value trading signals'—spending 80% of the time waiting and 20% of the time striking, allowing each trade to have the potential to change the account's fate. The following path is more suitable for traders who can endure volatility and are adept at grasping trend turning points.
1. Start with 100u: Use trial and error to lock in the 'advantageous battlefield'.
The primary task of 100u is not profit, but to find the trading scenarios you excel at. The flexibility of small funds is the greatest advantage, allowing for rapid screening of effective signals through high-frequency trial and error.
Focus on 'trend starting points': Only participate in 'sideways breakouts' and 'V-shaped reversals', for instance, entering when BTC breaks the key resistance level of 20000 USD on the 4-hour chart, accompanied by a volume increase of over 3 times. Such patterns often indicate the start of a trend, naturally favoring the risk-reward ratio.
Extreme light position trial and error: Open a single position of 5-10u, with the stop loss set 2% below the breakout point (e.g., if breaking above 20000 USD, set stop loss at 19600 USD). Each trial and error costs controlled at 0.2-0.4u, allowing 100u to support over 250 trials, enough to cover 3-5 effective trends.
Rapid iteration strategy: After 3 consecutive trial and error failures, immediately pause trading, review 'whether the breakout validity was misjudged' (e.g., false break accompanied by a long upper shadow), and adjust entry conditions (e.g., add 'confirming pullback after breakout' stage). When two consecutive trades are profitable, it indicates that the strategy is adapting to the current market, and you may enter the next phase.
2. From 200u to 1000u: Focus on 'high risk-reward opportunities'.
When the principal doubles to 200u, it means you have found effective signals; at this point, concentrate your efforts on attacking opportunities with 'risk-reward ratio ≥3:1':
Opportunity selection criteria: Only participate in trades that meet 'daily chart trend resonance'—a 4-hour chart breakout + daily chart moving averages in a bullish arrangement + MACD golden cross, all three conditions must be met to enter. For example, if the ETH daily chart shows the 5-day, 10-day, and 20-day moving averages in a bullish arrangement, and the 4-hour chart breaks above 3000 USD, enter at that point with a take profit target at the previous high of 3500 USD (profit of 500 USD) and a stop loss set at 2850 USD (loss of 150 USD), resulting in a risk-reward ratio of 3.3:1.
Dynamic position rules: For opportunities that meet the above criteria, open a single position of 50-80u (25%-40% of capital), strictly enforce stop losses; if two consecutive trades are profitable, increase the position to 100u, but ensure that the maximum loss per trade does not exceed 5% of the capital (e.g., in a 200u account, keep single loss ≤10u).
‘Wait - Strike’ rhythm: Make only 1-2 trades per week, keeping cash for the rest of the time. For example, stand firm during sideways fluctuations until a trend breakout signal appears before entering, avoiding depleting capital in ineffective markets. Following this rhythm, earn 20%-30% monthly, increasing from 200u to 1000u within 6 months.
3. From 1000u to 5000u: Use 'trend acceleration to increase positions' to amplify profits.
Once the principal reaches 1000u, you need to learn to 'gradually increase positions' after confirming the trend, allowing profits to grow geometrically.
Position increase trigger: When the first trade's profit reaches 50% (e.g., opening 100u earns 50u), and the price breaks through a new resistance level (e.g., BTC breaking 25000 USD), you can increase the position by 50% (i.e., open another 50u), and the stop loss should be moved up to the entry price of the first trade (ensuring no overall loss).
Asset switching strategy: When the trend of mainstream coins slows down (e.g., long upper shadow appears on daily chart), switch 50% of funds to 'strong altcoins' (e.g., coins ranked 50-100 by market cap that have recently underperformed their sector). These types of coins often experience a rebound in prices during the later stages of the trend and are more volatile, suitable for amplifying profits.
Take profit discipline: Use a 'partial take profit method'—close 30% at 100% profit, 50% at 200% profit, and keep the remaining 20% as 'trend continuation position', using trailing stops (e.g., if it falls below the 5-day moving average) to protect profits. For example, for a position opened at 1000u, close 300u when profit reaches 1000u, and close 500u when profit reaches 2000u, ensuring that most profits are locked in.
4. From 5000u to 10000u: Use 'risk hedging' to lock in victory.
From 5000u to 10000u is the final sprint stage, requiring 'multi-market allocation' to reduce the volatility risk of a single asset:
Cross-market allocation: Keep 50% of funds in cryptocurrencies (like BTC, ETH), allocate 30% to 'related assets' (like gold ETFs, US tech stocks), and hold 20% as cash reserves. When cryptocurrencies pull back, safe-haven assets like gold often rise, smoothing overall account volatility.
Precise use of leverage: Use 3x leverage only when 'the trend is clear and volatility is decreasing' (e.g., BTC breaking after sideways movement at 40000 USD for 1 week, with low volatility, making false break probabilities small), with the opening amount not exceeding 2000u, and stop loss set 1% below the breakout point (i.e., 39600 USD), ensuring that leverage risk is controllable.
Profit locking mechanism: When account funds reach 8000u, transfer 2000u to stablecoins (like USDT), and continue operating with the remaining 6000u. Even if subsequent trades incur losses, you can preserve the 8000u principal, significantly reducing psychological pressure, making it easier to achieve the final 2000u growth.
Core principle: Trade less, earn more.
“Missing is better than doing wrong”: In the process from 100u to 10000u, 90% of the opportunities are traps. It is better to stay in cash for 3 days than to blindly enter the market for 1 minute.
‘Let profits run’: The holding time for profitable trades should be more than 5 times that of losing trades. For example, if the average holding time for losing trades is 1 hour, the profitable ones should be held for over 5 hours to fully release trend potential.
‘Accept small losses’: Allow 1-2 small losses per month (total losses not exceeding 5% of capital), but never allow a single large loss. Remember: losing 20u when at 100u is just volatility, but losing 500u when at 5000u might cause a psychological breakdown.
This path of 'focusing on key opportunities' relies more on trend judgment than the compound interest model, but has stronger explosive potential—the key to going from 100u to 10000u often lies in 3-5 decisive trades. When you learn to 'wait most of the time and strike heavily in a few moments,' the speed of capital growth will exceed your imagination.
