On that stormy night ten years ago, I secretly transferred 30,000 yuan, which I was preparing for marriage, into the exchange, with my hands trembling while staring at the balance of 300U. At that time, I never imagined that this string of numbers would turn into a net worth of 40 million in 2024 — among which 30 million was hidden in the ups and downs of contract trading.
This first half of the year was the craziest, with 9 million in earnings, the capital multiplied by 50 times. If I hadn't withdrawn money midway to buy two apartments, an 85-fold increase wouldn't have been impossible. Now I withdraw 100,000 every month for living expenses, living like I'm retired — without the scheming of the workplace, just the calm ups and downs on the K-line chart.
Many people think contracts are a gambling table, but I treat them as a magnifying glass: used correctly, they can turn the faint glow of 300U into the sun of a fortune of tens of millions. Today, I will tear apart this bloody method; those who dare to execute it, a year later, may thank their current selves when they check their accounts.
One, rolling 300U into 1100U: use 'small bets for pleasure' to find the rhythm.
When you first enter the market, don't talk about technology; first practice the skill of 'taking profits.' Divide 300U into 3 parts of 100U each, and try mistakes like playing a challenge game:
Core rules: run when you double, withdraw when you lose half.
Enter the market with 100U, regardless of the coin (find the most popular one recently); as soon as it rises to 200U, close immediately, never be greedy for 'just a little more';
If it drops to 50U, cut it directly, even if it rebounds in the next second — this is not giving up, but leaving capital for the next round.
With good luck, winning 3 times in a row, 100→200→400→800, plus the remaining 300U, easily surpassing 1100U. But remember: play a maximum of 3 rounds and stop at 1100U. At this stage, luck is a significant factor, and greedy people often lose everything in the 4th round.
In 2017, my first experience was like this: 100U earned 200, 200 earned 400, 400 earned 800, feeling euphoric, I leveraged to 1000U, and ended up being liquidated to 30U. Later, I understood: the key to winning with small funds is not how much you win, but how much you can afford to lose.
Two, after reaching 1100U, use combination punches: three moves to penetrate the market.
Once the capital exceeds a thousand, you must put your eggs in three baskets, using different strategies to deal with different markets:
1. Quick in and out type (100U): earn the price difference like running a stall.
Focus on 15-minute short trades, only dealing with stable coins like BTC and ETH. For example, if you see BTC suddenly surge in volume in the afternoon, go in with 3x leverage, make 3%-5% profit and run — just like a street vendor, not seeking windfall profits, just content with earning a little breakfast money.
Last year, I relied on this method, making 47 trades in a single month, winning 39, netting 12,000 U. The secret is 'not being attached to the battle': even if it looks like it can rise by 10%, you must close at 5%. The enemy in short-term trading is not the market, but the greed of 'waiting a little longer'. 2. Relaxed regular investment type (15U per week): treat contracts like a piggy bank, regularly invest 15U per week in BTC longs, set a distant take profit (for example, aiming from 50,000 to 100,000 dollars). No matter how much it dips in between, as long as the overall trend is upwards, don’t move — this method is suitable for those who don't have time to monitor the market, akin to saving a 'Bitcoin pension' for the future.
I started regular investments in 2020, when BTC was at 30,000 dollars; now my cost is averaged down to 18,000 dollars, and I’m not afraid even if it dips back to 15,000 dollars. The magic of regular investment is not in the short term, but in 'using time to exchange for space'. 3. Trend trades (betting all remaining money): once you're sure, go in heavily; this is the key to making big profits, such as before the Fed cuts interest rates or before Bitcoin's halving — these 'clear market signals' must have the courage to act. But you must draw two lines in advance:
Take profit line: for example, if you double your money, close half, and set a trailing stop on the remainder;
Stop loss line: maximum loss of 20%; cut it at the point; never hold on to a losing position.
During the Fed's interest rate cut in March 2024, I opened a BTC long position with 5000U, using 5x leverage, held for 12 days, and earned 80,000 U — this one trade was worth nearly half a year's profit from quick in and out. But remember: trend trades rely on 'waiting', not 'guessing'; if there are no signals, it's better to stay out.
Three, ironclad rules for survival: these 4 lines, if crossed, will mean death.
I've seen too many people use the right methods but fail due to 'not following the rules'. These 4 rules are lessons I learned by losing 100,000 U:
Single positions should not exceed 1/10 of your capital: even with 100% confidence, only a maximum of 10% of your position should be risked. Last year, a fan used 50% of their position to trade ETH, and a spike caused them to be liquidated, crying out, 'It was so close to rising!' — that 'close' means losing a capital.
Stop loss is a lifeline; if you don't set it, don't open a position: the first thing I do when I open a position is set a stop loss, even if I set it wrong, I accept it. Once, I set a 5% stop loss on a BTC long, and just as I closed it, it bounced back; although I earned less, it avoided the subsequent crash — stop loss is not a loss, it's preserving the qualification for the next trade.
No more than 3 trades a day; if you feel itchy, go play games: I once tried to make 11 trades in one day, spending 2000U on fees, and I didn't earn enough to cover the fees. Later, I set an alarm; after the 3rd trade, I would close the software, and my win rate rose from 50% to 70% — trading relies on focus, not fatigue.
Withdraw profits when you reach your target, don't wait for 'the next wave': I now withdraw 30,000 U to my bank account every time I earn 100,000 U. Last year, I used the withdrawn money to buy an apartment, and this year it has appreciated by 20% — profits in the crypto world fluctuate, but cash in your pocket does not.
Four, turning losses into gains: 6 phrases to wake yourself up.
If you're still losing now, write these 6 phrases on your screen and read them 3 times a day:
Taking profit is like pulling in a fishing net: fish won't all jump into the net; it's always better to pull early than to let the net break. I've seen too many people earn 100,000 wanting 200,000, only to end up losing 50,000.
Stop loss is like cutting off an arm: if bitten by a snake, don't hesitate to cut off the hand, or the poison will kill your whole body. Holding on to a losing position until liquidation is no different from suicide.
Going long and short simultaneously is working for the exchange: paying fees on both sides, winning on one side isn't enough to cover the losing side, and vice versa — it seems smart, but it’s actually foolish.
If you don't understand, stay out of the market; missing out is better than being trapped: missing out is just slapping your thigh, but being trapped will keep you awake at night. The crypto world is full of opportunities; what it lacks is the capital to stay alive and wait for those opportunities.
Take it slow is faster than anything: with 100U and 10x leverage, a 2% rise earns you 20U, enough for a day's meal. Don't think about earning 100,000 at once; first learn to earn 10.
Going all in is gambling with your life: even if you win 9 times, losing once will bring you back to zero. Those who can survive in the crypto world for 10 years are 'cowards,' not 'hardcore players.'
Finally, let me say something heartfelt.
Finally, I want to say, contracts are never a gambling table, but a magnifying glass — they can turn the faint glow of 300U into a fortune of tens of millions, but they can also magnify greed and luck into fatal traps. Just like the author proved over ten years: from 300U to 40 million, it wasn't the courage of 'going all in' but the repetition of rules like 'small positions, trial and error, taking profits, and cutting losses to survive' until they become muscle memory.
Starting with 300U in a 'challenge mode' cultivates a mindset of being able to 'afford to lose'; after 1100U, it's about 'multi-dimensional profit capture' stability. Those 4 ironclad rules protect the capital to 'stay alive and wait for a big market.' Too many people think contracts rely on 'precise predictions,' but the core is: have the courage to act when you understand, stay out when you don't, and accept mistakes.
If you only have a few hundred U now and are stuck in a cycle of 'liquidation - recovering'; if you want to know how to catch 'quick in and out' signals, where to set take profit and stop loss for 'trend trades', and how to manage the rhythm of 'regularly investing in contracts'; if you don't want to be led by greed anymore and want to make contracts a 'guaranteed tool' — you might as well start paying attention.@趋势猎手老金 Don't rush to double your money; first practice the skill of 'earning 10 without greed, running away when losing 5', and after a year, look at your account; you might thank your sober self now.
In the crypto world, money can never be earned completely, but the capital can be lost at any time. Follow me, and tomorrow I will break down 'the 3 entry signals for trend trades', so that every penny of yours is spent in places that can amplify. After all, those who live long and hold steady can let the seed of 300U grow into a tree of tens of millions.
