Starting with 400U, how to break the profit bottleneck in the cryptocurrency market🔥
Brothers, if you want to achieve explosive returns with 400U in the cryptocurrency market, you absolutely cannot miss this strategy today! I myself once went from 0 to 1000U just by using this steady and solid contract operation strategy.
First of all, the optimal solution for 400U is definitely contract operations, but it is absolutely not about rushing blindly. Every time you take out 100U to bet on hot coins, you must strictly set profit and loss limits. For example, first use 100U to push to 200U, then 200U to 400U, and then 400U to 800U. Remember, the maximum is to push three times in a row! If you keep gambling recklessly, winning 9 times and losing 1 time, you might just go back to square one. Steadiness is the way to go!
Once you have passed these three levels, your principal can go from 400U to 1100U. At this point, you can start the “Triple Trading Method.”
Ultra-short trades: Fast operations, basically trading on a 15-minute level. Focus on large market coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The advantage is quick returns, but the risks are also very high. You must always keep an eye on the market and take profits when you see them!
Stable trades: This type of operation uses small positions, with leverage generally controlled around 10 times, such as 15U. Trade on a 4-hour level contract, and remember to withdraw a portion of the profits after making them, keeping your principal stable. Invest part of the profits weekly in Bitcoin to maintain stable account growth.
Trend trades: This is about doing medium to long-term, finding the right big trends; the key is to choose the right entry timing and set the profit-loss ratio. Don’t blindly chase highs, and don’t be greedy or overly attached to battles; risks should be controllable, and returns should be considerable.
In the early stages, you must start practicing with small trades of 100U, getting familiar with the pace of setting profit and loss limits. Once you are familiar with this operation, gradually transition to the triple strategy. This not only reduces the risk of loss but also helps you gradually accumulate profits, achieving stable profitability.
This path cannot be rushed for quick success. Just like when I was exploring in the cryptocurrency market before, I stumbled around in the dark, but now I have a “lamp.” The lamp in hand can guide you out of the fog and onto the path of profitability. Are you ready to keep up?
Remember, steady profitability is the way to go; those who rush for quick success may ultimately be eliminated.
In the cryptocurrency world, once I earn 80 million, I will retire. This profit system I am also ready to completely archive.
With 8 years of experience in crypto, starting with a 20,000 principal in 2017, to today having enough assets to lie flat, not relying on talent, not relying on insider information, and certainly not relying on luck. It’s all about sticking to one method—only using one system for 8 years.
Many old friends jokingly call this the 'fool's system,' but it’s this 'foolishness' that led me to eight figures.
The underlying logic of this system can be summarized in one sentence:
Three lines set the direction.
The 50-day line looks at short trends.
The 200-day line looks at bull and bear markets.
Trading volume assesses the authenticity of capital.
In 2017, when BTC broke 5000, it was grandly named 'the little bull taking off.' The 50-day line was firmly above the 200-day line, and the trading volume surged to three times the six-month average. I sold my marriage house and mortgaged it again, investing 3 million in one go. It was during that wave that I first broke ten million.
The most valuable part of this system is not the 'bullish outlook,' but the clear understanding of 'when not to touch.'
Three iron rules, none broken:
Iron Rule 1: Single coin position ≤ 15%
During the LTC surge in 2018, I only invested 12%. When it later dropped 80%, I was unscathed. Diversification is not cowardice; it’s about surviving longer.
Iron Rule 2: Stop-loss is the last firewall.
If mainstream coins drop more than 8% below the 50-day line, I must cut losses; if altcoins drop 5%, I must exit. The night before LUNA's crash, the system automatically cut my 1% position, resulting in only a loss of 70,000 U, while some around me went directly into debt.
Iron Rule 3: Maximum of 3 trades per month.
In the early days, I wanted to catch every fluctuation. After losing half a house, I forced myself to only make three trades a month. Instead, I accurately captured key market movements like 312 and April 2021.
The latest trade was last week:
ETH hit the 200-day line for the third time without breaking it, and the trading volume shrank to an extremely low level, with the system giving a golden buying point. I followed the rules and only allocated 8% of my position, taking profits at a 15% increase, smoothly pushing my account from 7xxx million to the 80 million threshold.
Then, I decided to really retire.
Today, as I cleared my desk, I found the trading log from 2017, with the first page stating: 'Once I earn 80 million, I will retire.'
At that time, living in a village in the city, eating steamed buns while watching the market, who would have thought it would actually happen one day?
Only after making enough money did I understand:
The candlestick chart is not everything in life. There are many scenes in the world more worth watching than just staring at the market.
This profit system, I will store on a USB drive, maybe buried somewhere in the backyard.
Because money in the crypto world can never be fully earned, but life, we only live once.
Many people get hooked for the first time starting from the 'wealthy legend'.
Sometimes I wonder why so many people, despite losing in the crypto world to the point of questioning life, still can't quit? It wasn't until later that I realized the answer is hidden deep within human nature, which is harder to understand than market trends.
After hearing too many stories of overnight doubling, one inevitably fantasizes about catching that bus, even if rationally knowing this is just the voice of survivors.
Then the thrill pulls people completely in. In the crypto world, the lights never go out, and K-lines never sleep; that kind of heartbeat from watching the market in the early morning is even more addictive than binge-watching shows, with rises and falls like they're hitting your dopamine button. Later, you will start to fear missing out. Group messages, Twitter revelations, KOL analyses flood in; it seems that if you put down your phone for a moment, wealth will slip away through the cracks. By the time you realize it, you are already surrounded by group emotions. Everyone shouts 'Charge' and 'HODL', comforting each other and celebrating together, this virtual sense of belonging makes it especially easy to sink in.
But what makes it hardest to leave is the money already lost. The more you lose, the more you want to make it back; the more you want to make it back, the deeper you get trapped, 'Break even and leave' has become the sweetest yet most dangerous lie. Ironically, many people think they are using cryptocurrency to fight against the old world. They hate the system and resent the rules, so they treat trading coins as a form of freedom to control their fate, but the result often just changes the way they are led by the market.
Moreover, the instant feedback of the crypto world is even more toxic. It takes half a year of work to see salary changes, but the numbers in your account can fluctuate by thousands in a second; this game-like thrill makes it very hard to truly stop. In the end, you will find that the crypto world is neither heaven nor hell. It only reflects our inner greed, fear, and that eager desire to change our fate.
What truly gets people hooked is never the market. It is that part of ourselves that refuses to admit defeat, yearning to leap into a different life square.
From an initial 3000 U to now breaking 20 million in my account, it’s not luck that got me here, but a set of "anti-human discipline" that allowed me to steadily endure tests that most people find hard to persist through, firmly grasping opportunities that should have slipped away.
Phase 1: Slowly Rolling Small Funds (Starting from 300 U)
When I first entered the market, everyone around me was eager for quick gains, flipping thousands into millions, with most returning to zero in three days. I chose a different path, using 100 U as the pioneer and strictly following three rules:
Recover principal immediately after an 80% increase, continue rolling profits;
Cut losses decisively at a 30% drop, never cling to hope;
Stop after winning three trades, giving myself a 24-hour cooling-off period.
With this restraint, 100 U steadily rolled to 583 U, safely passing the beginner phase.
Phase 2: Multi-Dimensional Layout After 10,000 U
After my funds broke the thousand mark, I no longer put all my eggs in one basket but established an "offensive and defensive system" by diversifying:
Short-term strikes: Seize short-term opportunities in BTC/ETH during active hours of US and European institutions, exit on a 2% rebound, without being greedy;
Ambush positions: Allocate 30% of funds specifically for new coins on Coinbase, secure profits within half an hour of launch;
Bottom-layer nuclear weapon: Only act 2-3 times a year, combining macro data and whale movements on-chain, aiming for opportunities of 300%+.
Phase 3: Guarding Ten Million with the "Wealth Conservation Law"
Many people earn millions or tens of millions only to give it all back. I avoid traps with three strategies:
Stop-loss ritual: Review and record every stop-loss, posting reminders on the wall;
Withdraw to lock in profits: For every 50% increase in profits, withdraw 25% and store it in a cold wallet;
Time constraints: Use a backup device to limit trading time, forcing myself away from the market to eliminate impulsive actions.
I want to tell everyone: small funds do not mean no opportunities; the key is not to be defeated by mindset and impulse.
Funds under 10,000 U? Practice discipline first, don’t chase trends;
Funds between 10,000 - 100,000 U? Don't mess around with new strategies, execute the existing strategy properly.
Opportunities to make money are not scarce; what is scarce is patience and discipline. Ultimately, those who reach the finish line are never the ones who run the fastest, but the ones who endure the longest.
After losing 1 million, I finally understood: There are 3 traps in the contract specifically designed to exploit retail investors, and if you don't understand, you'll always be passively beaten.
First, let me say a harsh truth:
A contract is not 'buying coins'; it is a gamble. The money you earn is the money someone else loses. The exchange acts as both the referee and the dealer; if you think of it as an investment, you will quickly learn the hard way.
What really causes people to lose a lot are these 3 hidden traps:
1️⃣ Funding rate is not a transaction fee; it is a 'signal' from the dealer.
If the rate is greater than 0.12% for two consecutive days, it basically indicates:
➡️ The side with the higher rate will be harvested next.
Even if you get the direction right, you can still be killed; everyone falls into this trap.
2️⃣ The liquidation price has 'hidden deductions,' closer than you think.
10x leverage does not mean a 10% drop will trigger liquidation; the exchange will deduct an additional forced liquidation fee,
making the actual liquidation price about 1% earlier than the theoretical price.
Many people think there is still room, but in reality, they are already standing on the edge of a cliff.
3️⃣ High leverage is a chronic poison, not an accelerator.
Transaction fees and funding fees are deducted based on the 'amplified position,'
and over time, the principal is slowly drained.
High leverage can only be used for ultra-short-term trades; earn 2%-4% and then exit.
Here are two practical suggestions that can really help you lose less:
① Always leave an exit when rolling over positions.
Only use 40% of profits to roll over, and take 60% as profit to truly protect yourself.
The market's backlash is much faster than you think.
② Your stop-loss, leverage, and liquidation points can all be guessed by the main force.
Why are you always 'precisely liquidated' at critical points?
Because most people's stop-loss points are too standard; the main force can easily insert a needle and clear you out, which is a typical 'targeted demolition.'
My usual approach is very simple:
Quickly enter and exit contracts for short-term trades, and maintain a stable long position with spot trading,
so you don't have to gamble your life every day to keep making money.
If you want to continue learning something more practical, my next article will discuss 'reverse orders'—
how to counterattack the main force and make back what you lost in the past.
Those who have achieved financial freedom in the cryptocurrency world, what did you all do right?
Financial freedom at 38! Entered the crypto world at 25 and earned eight figures in 10 years! A blood-and-tears warning: 99% of people fail because of their "mindset," not their skills! "At 25, I rushed into the crypto world with all my savings of 50,000 yuan; at 38, I made enough money to last a lifetime through crypto trading, with assets exceeding 10 million yuan. No team, no insider information, and I've never even worked a day in my life—now I sleep until I naturally wake up every day, walk my dog, drink tea, and look at candlestick charts. Worries? They don't exist." But if you thought this was a "motivational, feel-good" article, you can scroll past it now. The truth I'm about to tell might send chills down the spines of 80% of people in the cryptocurrency world.
