In 2 months, turning 2000U into 80,000U: made contracts into a 'sure-win business'
When I look at the balance of 82356U in my account, I always think of that midnight two months ago - the balance was only 2000.7U, and I had to be careful even using 5x leverage when opening a position, fearing that one wrong step would mean complete exit.
At that time, I had just experienced my 5th liquidation. My wife changed the password for my trading software and said, 'If you keep trading contracts, we will divorce.' I sat on the balcony and finished a pack of cigarettes, suddenly realizing: it’s not that the market is too harsh, it’s that I turned trading into gambling, while real experts treat contracts as business.
The turning point was the set of rolling positions + anti-explosion strategy that I fought hard for: using small stop losses to strive for large profits, calculating the risk-reward ratio at each step. After two months, the account steadily grew like climbing stairs, and now I trade daily as steadily as a machine.
The core is three points: lock in risks, let profits run
1. Never overly leverage, strictly lock each position's risk within 5% of the principal
I used to think 'if I’m sure, I must heavily invest', but ended up liquidated and returned to square one. Now, no matter how confident I am, the position in a single coin will never exceed 20%, with a maximum leverage of 5 times, calculating the risk for each trade (principal × position size × leverage × stop loss percentage) strictly locked within 5%.
For example, with 2000U principal, invest a maximum of 400U in a single coin (20%), with 5x leverage that’s a 2000U position, set the stop loss at 2.5% - even if wrong, the maximum loss would be 50U, allowing for another 40 attempts. When I had 2000U, it was this 'affordable loss' mindset that gave me the courage to test positions when BTC dropped to 30,000, and in the end, I earned back 800U.
Remember: even the most accurate judgment can be wrong, leave enough bullets to wait for the real big opportunity.
2. Cut losses decisively, take profits boldly
This is the iron rule I learned after 5 liquidations:
Stop loss decisively at 2%-3% losses, never hold a position (for example, if it’s a 400U position, run if losing 8-12U)
Consider taking profits only after a 30% gain, 50% or doubling is even better (for a 400U position, at least make 120U before selling)
Last month, when ETH rose from 3670 to 4050, I entered at 3700, set the stop loss at 3620 (loss of 2.1%), and held until 4050 to take profits, earning 16,000U in one wave. There were three pullbacks during which I almost sold but held on, focusing on the 'risk-reward ratio of 10:1' calculation - earn more when making profits, lose less when losing, and naturally profit in the long term.
3. Only chase trends, avoid fluctuations
Now, 90% of the time I am flat:
Entry must wait for 'trend + volume breakout' (for example, BTC stabilizes above the 5-day line + volume increases by 50%)
Do not chase hotspots, do not gamble on rebounds (90% of 'sudden surges' in altcoins are traps)
If the trend is unclear, close the software (do not touch coins that have been ranging for more than 3 days, no matter how good they are)
In 12 days, I turned 2000U into 8000U, relying on 3 clear trend breakthroughs: BTC surged from 30,000 to 35,000, ETH from 3000 to 3600, SOL from 80 to 100, and I profited from each major wave.
The key from 2000U to 80,000U: Pyramid scaling model
After the account reached 8000U, I started using the rolling method of 'add to position when winning, do not add when losing':
Made a profit on the first trade, using 50% of the profit to add to the position (for example, if I made 100U, I add 50U to the principal)
The stop loss for added positions is stricter (set at only 1.5%), ensuring 'even if profits are wiped out, the principal is not harmed'
Just like that wave in ETH:
First use 800U to test the waters, make 240U (30%)
Using 120U profit to add to position, make 36U (30%)
Then add 60U profit, make 18U (30%)
After three trades, the principal remained unchanged, but pure profit rolled up to over 300U. Coupled with the continuation of the trend, the total profit multiplied by 20 times.
Fans often ask: 'Brother, I also want to turn 2000U around, is it possible?'
My answer is: yes, but only for those with strong execution.
You have to think clearly: are you here to gamble and take chances, or do you genuinely want to turn your trading around? The former will only cycle through 'liquidation - recharge - liquidation again', while the latter will patiently practice stop-losses, wait for trends, and control positions.
Turning 2000U into 80,000U is not a myth; the key is to take the right path - don’t always think about 'making back everything in one go', first learn to 'make 100U every day', accumulate to a certain extent, and profits will naturally accelerate.
If you are also holding a few thousand U and struggling on the edge of liquidation, why not try my method: first lock each position's stop loss within 3%, consider scaling up only after winning 10 trades in a row.
