I started from 3000U, and after half a year of solid work, I reached 10 million U, relying on these 3 steps:
Step 1: Stop loss and distribute assets* (1-7 days)
Most people's liquidation is not due to poor skills but rather too much greed. First learn to be 'steady', then talk about making money.
My method:
Use 2000U for spot trading (only touch the top 20 by market cap, skip 3rd/7th/15th, as they have pitfalls)
Reserve 800U for arbitrage (later I will teach you the bloodsucking method)
Keep 200U as liquid funds, lifesaving at critical moments, do not participate in trading. Don't go all in right away; small capital requires a slow and steady approach.
Step 2: Bloodsucking arbitrage (8-30 days)
Learning to 'move bricks for arbitrage' is the core skill for small capital to stabilize and grow.
Just keep an eye on these two signals every day: ① Price difference between two exchanges > 1.5%, ② Funding rate remains negative (for example, continuously
12 hours<-0.02%)
Operation process:
Buy spot at A, open a short at B.
Earning three portions of profit: price difference + negative fee rate + volatility space.
I made 8 trades in a month, the highest single trade made 4273U
Many people know this trick, but less than 5% actually take action; as long as you dare to act, you can seize this 5% of the money.
Step three: hunt for new listings* (31-90 days)
After my account broke 20,000, I specifically traded 'new coin' contracts within 72 hours of their launch.
Because, at the beginning, the operators are the most anxious, the system is the most chaotic, and retail investors are the most confused.
Some exchanges' liquidation engines may experience a brief delay under extreme market conditions.
I just focus on placing orders, pushing up, and leaving.
I relied on this loophole in the TON wave and made 87% on a single trade.
Finally, one last thing to say:
Stop fantasizing about doubling your money every day.
Small funds can be multiplied, relying on three things: allocation logic, arbitrage discipline, and execution power of information asymmetry.
You don't lack principal, what you lack is a path you can follow.
I never understood: obviously holding free leverage, why do people still jump into that contract dead end where liquidation can happen at any time?
1. The 'obvious pit' of contracts: the longer the time, the faster the blood loss.
Think of contracts as a rented supercar -
· Explicit rental income: capital fee rate. In a poor market, monthly payment is 1%, in a bull market it can reach 10%, not a penny less.
· Invisible rental income: leverage multiplier. With each increment, the liquidation line gets closer to you.
Taking 1x leverage as an example: if it stays flat for a year, the net value might only remain at 0.8. The funding rate acts like a fine-toothed saw, cutting away your principal day by day.
2. The market hides 'zero-rent leverage': spot + stock selection
1. Spot: the ally of time
· Pledge earning interest: throw coins into the on-chain pool, with an annualized interest of 30%-50% for free. If the market rises by 50%, the principal + interest directly doubles.
If it falls by 20%, the interest cushions the loss, and you still have a positive return.
· Fault tolerance: you can sleep soundly with spot, but with contracts, just a moment of closing your eyes could lead to forced liquidation.
2. Stock selection: the invisible amplifier
In the same bull market, SUI, BGB shot up 10×, while EOS, LTC only rose by 60%. Choosing the right targets is equivalent to having 3-5 times leverage, zero profit.
Interest, zero liquidation, zero spikes.
3. The pitfalls that most people fall into: lacking patience and vision
· Lacking patience: fantasizing about ten times overnight, unwilling to give spot time to ferment slowly.
· Lacking vision: unable to pick coins, only able to add leverage, resulting in funding fees slicing first, and spikes adding more.
After a year, what percentage of the interest has been paid, the principal returns to zero, leaving only the illusion of 'next time I'll break even'.
Treat trading as a math game:
Using spot as the principal, using stock selection as leverage, using time as compound interest - this is the only correct answer for zero cost, zero liquidation, and positive expectations.#美国加征关税
