Experience of liquidation in 2021:
Blindly operating, relying on 'feel', ultimately lost 100,000 in principal.
Realized the truth when the account was down to 3000U—trading is not gambling, but a systematic war.
1. Four Core Strategies for Turning 3000U Around
1. Every trade has a 'double stop-loss'—a small loss if it goes down, and hold tight when it goes up.
Hard stop-loss: Single trade loss not exceeding 2% of the principal (3000U era, max loss per trade 60U).
Move stop-loss: After reaching 5% profit, move stop-loss to break-even, ensure no loss; after 10% profit, move stop-loss up every 5% gain.
Effect:
Small losses, big profits, avoid the 'take a little profit and hold on to losses' mindset.
In 60 trades, a 71% win rate, relying on 'letting profits run, cutting losses short'.
2. Adjusting positions with rhythm, accurately capturing trends.
First position: Use only 10% of the position (300U), low trial and error cost.
After confirming the trend: increase position at pullback points, but total position not exceeding 30% (900U).
Never go all in: avoid a single mistake leading to total loss.
Case study:
In September 2023, ETH rebounded from 1600U, first built a position of 10%, increased after breaking 1800U, ultimately catching a wave to 2000U, with a single trade profit of over 50%.
3. When profits reach a threshold, withdraw 10% to lock in.
Withdraw 10% (100U) to a cold wallet every time you earn 1000U, never reinvest.
Psychological Effect: Ensure part of the profit is realized to avoid 'paper wealth'.
Result:
By the time it broke 10,000U in 30 days, had locked in 1000U;
By the time it reached 50,000U in 59 days, had cumulatively locked in 5000U, truly preserving profits.
4. Leverage is only for amplifying rhythm, not for gambling.
Perpetual contract leverage controlled at 3-5 times, avoiding high leverage liquidations.
Only open trades when the trend is clear, do not trade against the trend.
Key point:
Leverage is a tool, not a 'get rich magical device', low leverage + high win rate = compounding miracle.
2. Practical Case Study: How to turn 3000U into 50,000U?
Phase 1 (Days 1-30): 3000U → 10,000U
Strategy: Focus on BTC/ETH one-hour level trends, at most 2 trades a day.
Key trades:
BTC rebounded from 29,000U to 35,000U, capturing a full 6000-point gain, profit of 2000U.
ETH surged from 1800U to 2000U, profit of 300U.
Result: Account surpassed 10,000U after 30 days.
Phase 2 (Days 31-47): 10,000U → 30,000U
Strategy: Increase position to 20%, but stop-loss remains strict.
Key trades:
SOL skyrocketed from 20U to 40U, catching a doubling trend, profit of 5000U.
ADA rebounded from 0.25U to 0.4U, profit of 800U.
Result: Account reached 30,000U in 47 days.
Phase 3 (Days 48-59): 30,000U → 50,000U
Strategy: Part of the profit goes to spot, keep contract position at 10%.
Key trades:
BTC broke 40,000U and retraced to 38,000U, low buy to 42,000U, profit of 4000U.
ETH surged from 2200U to 2500U, profit of 1500U.
Result: Account reached 50,000U in 59 days, recovering all losses.
3. Bloody Lessons: Why Can't Most People Achieve This?
Emotional trading: FOMO on rises, panic sell on drops.
No stop-loss discipline: holding losses, fearing to miss out on profits.
Blindly using high leverage: always wanting to 'double down in one go', resulting in liquidation.
Not locking in profits: reinvesting after making profits, ultimately leading to loss.
My change:
Write a trading journal, recording the reasons and results of each trade.
Set a daily maximum loss (e.g., 300U), stop trading when reached.
Only trade high-probability situations, watch 80% of the time, act 20% of the time.
4. Next step: The plan from 50,000U to 200,000U.
Reduce leverage: a combination of spot and contract, with contract leverage not exceeding 3 times.
Focus on mainstream coins: BTC, ETH, SOL, etc., avoid small coins.
Reinvest profits: Withdraw 20% every time you make 10,000U, roll over the remaining 80%.
Wait for major trends: The bull market in 2025, seize 1-2 opportunities for doubling.
Final sentence
The crypto world lacks opportunities, but lacks those who survive until opportunities arise.
If you are still losing, first learn to 'lose less';
If you start making a profit, learn to 'lock in profits';
If you have already turned things around, remember 'don't be reckless'.
This method is not a 'get rich quick scheme', but a survivor's strategy. The core of turning 3000U around is not how skilled the technique is, but how much better the discipline is than 99% of people.
