#2026年比特币价格展望 From 100U to 100,000U, I did a small experiment with a contract
Speaking of liquidation, this is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed when playing with contracts. Especially in the beginner stage, losing money happens at an absurdly fast rate. I’ve experienced it myself—when my account shrank to just over 100U, I thought maybe I should give up. But what happened next? I calmed down, took these 100 bucks, and over three months, I gradually grew it to 100,000.
This isn’t some genius trading method; frankly, it’s the result of using the simplest approach, sticking to it stubbornly. Today, I’ll break down this process, maybe it will give you some inspiration.
**Stage One: Build Courage, Start with 100U and Stay Clear-headed**
The key is mindset. Losing 100 bucks and life still goes on as usual. This actually helps you loosen up.
My approach is very simple:
Focus only on one coin, chosen is Bitcoin ($BTC). It’s big enough to avoid being easily manipulated, so you can be more at ease.
Use 20x leverage. I know 100x can make money faster, but it’s easy to blow up your account. 20x can amplify gains while keeping risks manageable.
Only use half of the capital each time, so 50U. The remaining 50U acts as a firewall, protecting against stop-loss triggers or black swan events that could wipe you out.
Set strict rules for yourself: take profit at 10% and close the position, no greed; cut losses at 5% and stop out, no holding on. Do at most two trades a day, regardless of win or lose, then stop.
I did this for half a month, turning 100U into 300U. Slow pace, but stable. During that time, my sleep quality improved.
**Stage Two: Capital Rolling, Small Wins Accumulate into Big Gains**
With 300U, I started to tweak the strategy slightly, but kept the discipline intact.
Still half-position opening, with 150U for each trade.
Profit means add to the position—this is crucial. For example, if 150U earns 10%, it becomes 165U. The total capital is now 315U. Next time, I use half of that, about 157.5U. This process is like rolling a snowball; each small snowball sticks more snow, getting bigger and bigger.
If a trade results in a loss, immediately revert to the base position of 50U—no greed. After a few wins, slowly add back.
The biggest test here is patience. Not every day has a big move; sometimes it’s just small wins. I spent two months here, relying on accumulated small victories, growing from 300U to 10,000U. There were moments I wanted to rush in, but I held back.
**Stage Three: When the Market Moves, Be Bold to Act**
By the third month, the market finally saw a good rally.
The groundwork of the previous two months gave me confidence and enough capital. I changed my pace:
Increase single-position size from 50% to 70%, because I had enough cushion to take some losses.
Adjust take-profit from 10% to 30%. When the market trend is good, let profits run longer, don’t rush to close everything.
Set tighter stop-losses to avoid serious damage if I’m wrong. This way, the ratio of big wins to small losses stays healthy.
That month was the most rewarding. 10,000U grew to 100,000U. Looking back, it wasn’t a one-shot success, but because I managed risks well at each stage.
**Summary**
Going from 100 to 100,000 looks like a miracle, but it’s really just three months of meticulous operation. No secret formulas—just these core points: stick to fixed rules and don’t change them, operate with half-position to reduce risk, add to positions when profitable, cut losses quickly when wrong, and keep a good mindset—more important than technical skills.
Finally, I want to say: this method may not suit everyone, but the mindset—start small, accumulate gradually, seize opportunities—is probably universal in contract trading. The prerequisite is that you need to survive long enough to catch that big market wave.
