The most heart-wrenching misconception in the crypto world: always thinking that having a small capital means no money can be made. In 2022, I mentored a newcomer who started with 400U and through contract betting + position management, achieved 12,000U in half a year—the core is not luck, but understanding the logic of 'small funds breaking through through betting, medium funds relying on technical accumulation'. Today, I will deconstruct the complete technical route from 400U to 10,000U, along with 10 mindset iron rules, each hiding the password from liquidation to steady profits.
1. 400U breakthrough: Technical standards for 100U contract betting
Small funds wanting to double quickly must rely on 'hot coins + precise stop loss' contract strategies, but 90% of people make the mistake of 'chasing hotspots indiscriminately'. Real betting requires 3 technical anchors:
1. Hot coin screening formula
Price increase threshold: 24-hour price increase of 15%-30% (too high is prone to correction, too low has no heat);
Volume signal: daily trading volume is more than 3 times the average of the past 7 days (for example, if a certain MEME coin suddenly increases to 500 million dollars, it indicates that funds are truly entering);
Sector linkage: belongs to the main sector of the day (for example, when ORDI in 2023 drove the Bitcoin ecosystem, prioritize trading the same sector's SATS).
2. Opening techniques for 100U contracts
Leverage choice: only use 5x leverage (100U margin corresponds to 500U position, triggering stop loss with a 5% fluctuation, which matches the risk tolerance of small funds);
Entry point: pull back to the 5-day moving average and volume contraction (for example, if a hot coin rises from 0.1U to 0.12U, then pulls back to 0.11U with volume contracting to 30% of the level during the breakout, this is the time to open a long position);
Take profit and stop loss: set stop loss at 0.95 times the entry price (for example, entering at 0.11U, stop loss at 0.1045U, losing 5.5%), take profit set at 1.2 times the entry price (0.132U, gaining 20%)—risk-reward ratio 3.6:1, consistent with high odds principles.
3. The technical boundaries of three rounds of betting
Limit on number of trades: a maximum of 3 consecutive times (100U→200U→400U→800U), each must meet the condition of 'previous trade being profitable and the hot trend not receding';
Exit signal: if the turnover rate of a single coin decreases by 50% within 24 hours (capital leaving), or the leading coin in the sector starts to pull back, immediately terminate the betting and switch to a stable strategy.
Case study: during the PEPE hotspot in 2023, after standard screening, opened 100U with 5x leverage, entered at 0.0000012U, set a stop loss at 0.00000108U, and take profit at 0.00000144U. After 3 consecutive wins, 400U turned into 1120U, the key is recognizing the sector's turnover rate decline at the third take profit, decisively closing out.
2. 1000U accumulation: technical switch from small betting to stable growth
When funds reach 1100U, must discard 'all-in thinking' and switch to 'diversification + trend' strategy, this is the lifeline from small funds to medium funds:
1. Fund allocation technology (taking 1100U as an example)
30% contract position (330U): use 5x leverage, but only trade coins 'above the 20-day moving average + MACD golden cross' (for example, when ETH stabilizes above the 20-day moving average at 2000 dollars, open a long position with 100U and set a stop loss at 1900 dollars);
50% spot position (550U): diversified into 3 leading sectors (such as 1 in the Bitcoin ecosystem, 1 in Layer2, and 1 in AI concepts), with each coin not exceeding 180U, and setting a 10% stop loss;
20% reserve fund (220U): only add positions when 'the spot target shows daily bottom divergence' (for example, if a coin drops 15% but the MACD green bars shorten, add 50U).
2. The operational logic of two core types of trades
Ultra-short trades (15-minute level):
Only trade coins that 'break through previous highs with increased volume', for example, if a coin breaks above 0.5U on the 15-minute chart with volume doubling, open a position with 50U, take profit at 0.55U (10%), stop loss at 0.48U (4%), no more than 2 trades per day;
Strategy trades (4-hour level):
Wait for '5-day moving average golden cross 10-day moving average + increased volume', for example, when SOL shows a signal at 100 dollars, buy 200U in spot and hold until the MACD red bars shorten for profit, with a period of 3-5 days.
Data: 1100U operated under this strategy for 3 months, ultra-short trades contributed 30% of profits, strategy trades contributed 50% of profits, total funds increased to 2800U, with a maximum drawdown of only 8%—far lower than the risk of all-in betting.
3. 10 mindset iron rules: survival codes more important than technology
People who start with small funds understand one principle: technology determines the lower limit, and mindset determines the upper limit. These 10 iron rules helped me avoid 90% of liquidation traps:
Stop trading when continuously profitable: after three consecutive wins, forcefully close the software, even if missing the market—after a 5-win streak in 2023, greed caused me to lose all profits, establishing this iron rule from then on;
Stop loss is never vague: the stop loss line for a 100U contract is more important than a lifeline, cut it when the time comes, even if the market shows 'it is about to rebound'—the cruelest thing in the crypto world is not the drop, but the luck of 'waiting a bit longer';
Only open positions with strong signals: do not enter unless there is a '5-day moving average golden cross + increased volume', filtering out 80% of 'seemingly opportunities' daily, reducing trading frequency from 10 trades to 2 trades, and increasing the win rate from 40% to 65%;
Never add to losing positions: if 100U drops to 90U, averaging down will only double the risk, better to stop loss and wait for new signals—this is 10 times more reliable than 'cost averaging';
Stop trading when experiencing consecutive losses: if losing 2 trades in one day, stop immediately, even if there is a certain opportunity afterward—when the mindset collapses, the accuracy of operations will drop by 50%;
Do not engage in trades with 'unclear direction': resolutely avoid coins that have been flat for over 4 hours, entering when the K-line is chaotic is like crossing the street with closed eyes;
Dare to hold and let profitable trades run: when reaching 2/3 of the take profit line, move the stop loss to the cost price, allowing profits to run on their own—this trick earned me an additional 30U from a SOL position of 100U;
Quick exit when the hot trend recedes: when the leading coin falls below the 10-day moving average, clear all positions in the same sector—when ORDI fell in 2023, I promptly closed out SATS, losing only 400U;
Use 'physical isolation' to resist temptation: set automatic stop losses after opening positions, then go for a run/read a book to avoid manually changing stop losses while staring at the screen—human nature cannot withstand the test of fluctuations;
Review for 30 minutes every day: record 'reason for opening the trade + whether the signal is valid', stop trading and learn the technique after 3 consecutive misjudgments—what newcomers lack the most is not opportunities, but patience for self-correction.
The compound interest of technology + mindset: roadmap from 400U to 10,000U
The core from 400U to 10,000U is not 'doubling quickly', but 'using small funds to develop skills and mindset'. The newcomer I mentored had 3 liquidations in the first two months, but each time adjusted the strategy based on the review, ultimately finding the rhythm—the essence of making money in crypto is letting 'technical proficiency' outpace 'fund growth speed'.
