In October 2022, the small fan brother who was liquidated by LUNA was left with 1023U and sent a message asking for help. This college student, who lived on instant noodles, had a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
1. Breaking the deadlock: The survival rules of 1000U
I gave him three iron rules:
Strict position control at 2% (maximum 20U per trade, set stop loss at 2.5% drop from opening price)
Take 20% of profits (cash out for safety, keep the fire alive)
Only trade 4-hour trends (refuse short-term gambling, seize big cycle opportunities)
First battle: Shearing the short sellers
In November, the funding rate on B was negative for 6 consecutive hours, and short sellers went crazy opening positions. The fan brother went long with 10x leverage at 15,600, with a position of 2%. When the price fell close to the stop loss, I noticed a sharp decrease in position size—retail investors were liquidated, and the main force was washing the positions! I decisively added margin and reduced leverage. 24 hours later, I closed at 16,900, earning 230U on a capital of 1250U.
Key battle: Uncovering ETH false breakout
In January 2023, ETH rose to 1500, and the whole network was bullish.
I noticed that the whale was reducing holdings, and the open interest surged, a typical bait! The fan brother shorted at 1480, with a position of 2.5%.
As the stop loss approached, the funding rate soared, and I decisively added to the position and adjusted the stop loss. 15 minutes later, ETH plummeted, closing at 1320, earning 1600U on a capital of 2800U.
Comeback battle: Following institutions to profit
In March, CME open interest increased continuously, and B's reserves decreased significantly, signaling institutions hoarding! The small fan brother went long with 5x leverage at 28,000, with a position of 3%.
Over the weekend, positive news from the SEC ignited the market, and BTC gapped up to 33,000, closing at 32,900, earning 5100U.
By August 2023, the fan brother's capital rolled to 1.02 million U, withdrawing 300,000 to buy a car for his parents, leaving 720,000 to continue rolling according to the strategy.
I compiled the "1000U Rolling Memo", containing tools, pitfall avoidance guides, and position calculation sheets, but can you strictly adhere to the 2% position iron rule?
The secret to helping him break through the 500,000 order, the memo hides key details…
