Friends who do contract trading all know that making money in the crypto world is quick, but losing money is also fast. I turned 3000U into 130,000U, not relying on luck, but on strict adherence to trading discipline. This methodology has been tested in real combat, and today I will share the core points.
My approach is very simple: divide 3000U into ten parts, and each time use 300U to set up a 100x leverage position. If correct, quickly double the investment; if wrong, cut losses immediately. It sounds brutal, but there are five iron laws supporting it:
**Stop-loss must be decisive** — When the set stop-loss point is triggered, close the position immediately and walk away. Don’t think about rebounds; accepting small losses is always better than a margin call. Many people have suffered big losses here.
**Stop after five consecutive losses** — When the market is unclear, toughing it out will only lose money. When losses happen consecutively, the smartest move is to rest for a day, cool down, and re-enter with precision the next day.
**Take profits promptly** — Unrealized gains can easily evaporate. My principle is to withdraw at least half of the profit once I earn 3000U, which helps maintain a stable mindset.
**Trade only in clear trends** — Range-bound markets drain liquidity. In a clear upward or downward trend, leverage is a powerful tool; in choppy markets, even high leverage will only waste margin.
**Keep position size within 10% of capital** — Reject all-in positions. Small positions help maintain a stable mindset, survive first, then talk about long-term profits.
Contract trading is essentially a marathon, not a shortcut to overnight wealth. I emphasize these five rules repeatedly because most people fail because they ignore these basic principles. Embedding discipline into your trading system is the only way to stand firm in the crypto market.

That's right, you have to be alive to make money.
A 100x leverage sounds crazy, but the ones who really make money are those who can resist going all-in.
The key is attitude; you need to stay calm even when losing money.
I've seen too many people start dreaming when they see floating profits on their accounts, only to lose everything with a single reverse move.
These five rules are indeed ironclad, but implementing them is much harder than just talking about them.

100x leverage sounds exciting, but can this risk model really stand up to data validation? It still feels like gambling on luck.

Listen, stories from 3,000 to 130,000 are told in every bull market, but do you know how many people are alive to tell this story during a bear market? Survivor bias, brother.

Sounds good, but how many people can truly stick to this discipline?

Turning 3000 into 130,000 sounds impressive, but the key is still that old saying—only by staying alive can you make money.
100x leverage sounds intense, but what's truly tough is being able to hold on without greed.
Stop-loss is easy to talk about, but when it comes to execution, it tests human nature.

3000U turned into 130,000, to put it simply, it's all about discipline. There's nothing wrong with that statement.
Losing five consecutive trades means you have to stop, and this is the most easily overlooked point. Many people fall because they stubbornly hold on.

A 100x leverage sounds exciting, but few actually survive it.
Stop-loss and position control are easy to talk about, but the biggest mental hurdles are the hardest to overcome during execution.
I like the move of withdrawing half; many people get frustrated because they only realize gains and then give them back.
Volatile markets are indeed the graveyard for leverage; few can walk away unscathed here.
Stopping after losing 5 trades—how much self-discipline does that require? I think most people can't do it.

3000U flip to 130,000 sounds great, but with 100x leverage, a single slippage can wipe you out...
This idea isn't wrong, the problem is how many people can actually stick with it, really.
I commend those who stop after making five wrong trades, but most people start doubting themselves after just three.
The most heartbreaking part is the withdrawal process—how many people get stuck at the point of taking profits, only to regret it when everything is wiped out.
It all sounds right, but when the market gets chaotic, your mind becomes unclear, and at that point, discipline is useless.
