The Truth About Contract Trading: A Survival Guide from a Liquidated Beginner to a Steady Trader
Rules triumph over human nature, discipline restrains greed I still remember my first time dealing with contract trading, with 10,000 U in my account. Seeing the dazzling '10x leverage' on the platform, I calculated how much I could earn this time. But I accidentally opened a position of 50,000 U. The market only fluctuated slightly by 2%, and my account was instantly wiped out. Staring at the glaring red liquidation notification on the screen, my fingers trembled—I realized I wasn't playing with 10x leverage at all, but risking 50x my life. At that moment I suddenly understood: in the contract market, 90% of people trade in the wrong way. They stare at the K-line charts dreaming of overnight wealth, yet they don't even understand the most basic risk control.
From 30,000 to 10 Million: In Crypto Survival, I Turned My 'Dumb' Method into a Cash Machine
Rhythm is everything; simplicity is the ultimate complexity. I initially entered the crypto world with thirty thousand yuan, just like every other beginner, going through phases of obsessively monitoring dozens of indicators, staying up late watching charts, and chasing highs and lows. The result was either missing out or getting trapped, with my account balance stuck in place for months. It was only when I realized one thing: profitability in the crypto world doesn't come from complexity, but from executing simple strategies to their absolute extreme. Now, my account assets have exceeded ten million. This wasn't due to luck or insider information, but rather a 'dumb' method that everyone can understand yet few people stick to. Today, I'm sharing this method with you without holding back.
10U Crypto Survival Experiment: A Poor Person's Battle for Dignity
The crypto world is never short of myths, but what's missing are the warriors who survive. At 3 a.m., the faint glow of my phone screen reflected on my exhausted face. The 2.3U balance in my Huobi account, just liquidated, felt like a dull knife slicing through my heart. This is the 17th time this month I've been wiped out by the market; the ashtray is piled high with cigarette butts. This is my third month in the crypto world, going from an initial 100U to 2.3U now. I've experienced countless 'almost successes.' The crypto market works like this—it gives you hope just to make your fall even harder. It's precisely this kind of desperation that forced me to develop a survival algorithm suited for the poor, gamblers, and those hoping to turn their fortunes around. What I'm sharing today isn't a myth of overnight wealth, but a battle for dignity starting with just 10U.
I've seen too many people with just a few thousand U hoping to 'turn their life around' in crypto, only to lose everything through frequent trading and high fees, or get wiped out by market swings after going all-in. Last year, one student really stood out to me—starting with only 800 U, hesitating before every trade, yet managed to grow to 28,000 U in half a year with zero liquidations. Today I'll share three iron rules for surviving in the crypto market with small capital, based on my own trading experience. These aren't some 'wealth secrets,' but survival principles repeatedly validated by the market. 01 Why do small capital traders need strategies more?
No watching, no折腾, I made 1 million using 'dead rules' in crypto
A letter to you, who's been scared by the volatile market 1. Admit it — most people lose money not because they're 'bad', but because they're 'panicked' I've seen too many people: staring at K-lines all day, scrolling news alerts at night, chasing rumors in WeChat groups — and the more they trade, the more they lose. The crypto market is like a magnifying glass — when greedy, you chase highs and panic-sell; when fearful, you cut losses and miss out. In the end, your money goes to fees and slippage. My personal turning point was realizing one thing: 'If complex methods don't make money, why not repeat simple actions ten thousand times?' So I set myself four 'dead rules': no predictions, no overthinking, just pure discipline to grind out swing profits.
I Survived in the Crypto World Using Just These Three Candlestick Timeframes!
Stop staring at just one screen—real market movements require a three-dimensional view Brothers, let's talk about some practical insights today. Have you ever been in this situation: you jump in based on the 5-minute chart, only to get trapped, then switch to the daily chart and realize, wow, you were clearly trading against the trend! This is why most beginners lose money—they focus on a single timeframe, like blind men touching an elephant, never seeing the full picture. I've lost so much money like this before. Eventually, I learned multi-timeframe analysis, and this method has kept me consistently profitable for over two years. Today, I'm directly sharing it with you—using plain language to clearly explain how to combine the 4-hour, 1-hour, and 15-minute candlesticks.
One path is freedom forged through tears, the other is a calm, unexciting routine—I chose to face my fears head-on. Eight years ago, like many others, I stood at the crossroads of investing. On the left was the steady mutual funds, like riding a bus—fixed routes and steady pace; on the right was the wild and unpredictable crypto world, like riding a roller coaster, filled with screams and dizziness. I chose the latter without hesitation. It wasn't because I had a gambling nature, but because I clearly realized that massive returns always come bundled with high risk. Now, eight years later, I can fully support my family by trading crypto, having paid with early tears and hardships to achieve financial freedom today. I believe this deal was worth it.
After a stop-loss is triggered and the market rebounds? That's truly the real test for traders!
Discipline is the bridge connecting present pain with long-term success When I first started, what frustrated me the most wasn't getting caught in a sharp drop, but rather, just after cutting my losses, the market immediately rebounded. It felt like you were carefully defusing a minefield, only to have fireworks explode right beside you the moment you'd finished disarming the bomb—like the market was staring at your remaining position and wouldn't let go. I still remember the Ethereum spike in 2023. I set a stop-loss at $1,650, and the price precisely hit $1,650 before instantly rebounding to $2,200. At that moment, I wished I could swallow my computer screen. 'Why didn't I hold on a little longer? Why didn't I wait?' This self-doubt spread like a virus.
The Simple Truth Behind the Crypto Miracle: Repeating Simple Actions, This Is How I Trained a Female Apprentice with Millions in Wealth!
Simplify the complex, and perfect the simple Do you remember that night two years ago, when a new girl in my team timidly asked me, 'Teacher, I only have 30,000 yuan. Can I survive in the crypto world?' At that time, she couldn't even identify basic K-line indicators, but her eyes held a rare calmness. Two years later, when her account broke into the eight-digit range, I became even more convinced: the biggest trap in the crypto world isn't market risk, but people always overcomplicating how to make money. Today I want to share this real case, not to show off or encourage blind following, but to help you understand after reading: in this market full of temptation and traps, the key to sustained profits might lie in the simplest and most fundamental principles.
It's not the house that's cutting you, it's yourself—your 'chasing highs and selling lows'!
People always ask me if crypto is a game of capital. My answer is: yes, but what truly causes your losses isn't the house—it's consistently making decisions with emotions instead of logic at the wrong times. I've seen too many people FOMO into buying at highs and panic-sell at bottoms—once you enter, you become a contrarian indicator. The house does manipulate the market, but 90% of your losses stem from your own flaws—reckless courage, emotional decisions, lazy research, and侥幸的心理. I. The house's tactics: a streamlined operation to harvest the inexperienced The house harvesting retail investors is essentially a highly standardized process:
From $5,000 to $100,000: My Three Lifelines of Scaling Up, Floating Profits Lead the Way, Leverage at Your Service, Discipline Reigns Supreme
Today I'm talking about the legendary strategy that supposedly allows small capital to double quickly—scaling up. Don't make it sound too mysterious. In simple terms, the core is 'using profits to chase greater profits,' not impulsively going all-in on your capital. The essence of scaling up: survive first, then earn more Many beginners immediately ask me: 'Teacher, what leverage multiple can make me earn the fastest?' I always reply: Don't think about how much you can earn first—think about how much you can lose. Capital is your lifeline: When I first learned scaling up, an elder once told me: 'The only position you can fully trust is your capital.' So my iron rule is, as soon as you make a profit, your first thought shouldn't be to add more, but to pull your capital back. For example, if you start with $5,000 and make a 50% profit, bringing it to $7,500, I would first withdraw the original $5,000 capital, then use the remaining $2,500 to scale up. The only purpose of this is to ensure you always have the chance to start over.
How I Grew from 1,000 to 100,000 in Crypto Using 'Rolling Positions'—Either Massive Wealth or Total Collapse, No Middle Ground!
There are many ways to make money in the crypto world—some hold mainstream coins and wait for the bull market, others farm airdrops for pocket change. But what truly gets my adrenaline pumping is just three words: 'Rolling the position.' What makes this so powerful? It can turn 1,000 yuan of pocket money into 100,000 yuan in just three months, but it can also wipe out a 990,000 yuan profit in one single trade. In short, it's high leverage + reinvesting profits + sticking to one direction—this is a game of heart-pounding risk, gambling with your life. I've seen too many people fall on this path: they don't know when to stop after profits, dreaming of a seaside villa overnight; when they lose, they refuse to accept it and double down in desperation to recover; they waver in direction, getting slapped by the market repeatedly. But if you ask me why I still dare to play? Because the essence of crypto is volatility—and rolling positions is the art of squeezing every last drop from that volatility.
Futures Game: My Five-Year Survival Story Dancing with Wolves
The numbers on the screen were jumping wildly, like a war without gunfire, where most people had already fallen before they even heard the first shot. "Another one gone." At 3 a.m., I stared at my account balance that had just dropped to zero on the screen, bitterly swallowing the last sip of cold coffee. This was already my third margin call this month. The cruelty of leveraged trading isn't just about losing money—it's the despair of nearly turning things around, only to be shattered in an instant. Five years ago, I entered the cryptocurrency futures market with the naive dream of getting rich quick. Now, among those who started at the same time, very few remain. The survival rate is extremely low—this is the real picture of the futures market.
A single sentence from a big player sends markets trembling: The crisis and opportunity behind Trump's 'NATO is useless' theory
1 Trump's 'Jungle Law': The cracks in NATO have become obvious Trump has fired another salvo, directly stating, 'Russia and China fear the United States; NATO is nothing but a paper tiger.' Though this sounds extreme, it reflects America's complete shift in attitude toward its allies—'the strong have the right to bully the weak' has become an open strategy. Since his second term, he has pressured Canada to become the '51st state,' demanded the purchase of Greenland, and even proposed renaming the Gulf of Mexico the 'American Gulf,' clearly treating international rules like playdough. NATO is now in chaos: the U.S. wants to offload defense costs, Europe is hesitant and divided, and leadership has almost become a 'hot potato.'
EU Regulations Take Effect! The 'Anonymous Era' of Cryptocurrency is Officially Over
Tax authorities are extending their reach into every corner of digital assets, and the heavy hand of transparent regulation has finally landed. January 1, 2026, marks the official enforcement of the EU's DAC8 rules, signifying a new era in European crypto regulation. As someone who has been in the crypto industry for many years, I must tell you a hard truth: the days of being able to hide your tracks are truly over. New regulations require all crypto platforms serving users in the EU to report user transaction data to tax authorities, meaning your name, tax ID, and transaction records will be in the hands of the government. This EU move is not isolated but part of a global trend toward transparency in crypto taxation, with major economies like the United States and the United Kingdom also advancing similar policies simultaneously.
These 7 Blood-and-Tears Rules Can Save Your Capital
Friends, Xiao Chen at 3 a.m. isn't a fictional story — it's a daily tragedy in the crypto world. As a survivor who's endured three bull and bear cycles since 2017, today I won't waste words — I'll share seven iron rules earned with real money. 1. Losing money is easier than making it — your capital is your lifeline Math doesn't lie: losing 50% of 1 million to 500,000 takes just one 50% drawdown, but recovering from 500,000 back to 1 million requires a 100% gain! Even more brutal: a 15% rise followed by a 15% drop still leaves your account smaller. That's why even when Janno, the mining farm boss, is broke and eating instant noodles, he refuses to sell his coins — he understands that capital is the only key to a comeback.
Valued at $40 Billion but Not Going Public! How Far Can Ripple's 'Financial Sovereignty' Strategy Go?
While an IPO has become the ultimate goal for many crypto companies, Ripple has chosen a different path — this $40 billion-valued giant has clearly stated: 'We don't need to go public, because we have our own rules.' In November 2025, Ripple announced the completion of a $500 million funding round, with the company's valuation reaching $40 billion, backed by Wall Street giants such as Citadel Securities and Fortress Investment Group. However, company president Monica Long clearly stated: 'We have sufficient balance sheet and liquidity to drive growth... We will remain private.'
The Geopolitical Powder Keg Ignites: Is Your Asset Allocation Safe by 2026?
As someone who has been active in the crypto market for nearly a decade, I've been unable to sleep lately. Not because of Bitcoin's price swings, but due to the undercurrents of global tensions—America seizing Russian oil tankers, escalating conflicts in the Middle East, and the struggle for dominance in Asian semiconductors... These events may seem isolated, but they are simultaneously intensifying. Historical experience tells us that major wars often begin with silent accumulations of conflict, not with a single gunshot. Today, I want to discuss: if the world heads toward chaos, how should we safeguard our wealth? 1 The high valuation bubble in traditional markets has already reached its tipping point
Eight years in the crypto world, here's how I survived and made eight figures
'Surefire profits? Nonsense! In this industry, people go to the rooftop every day, and others go from rich to broke overnight. I've survived three bull and bear cycles, growing my account from five to eight figures—not through wealth myths, but through avoiding traps.' 1. Face reality: 90% of projects are Ponzi schemes Cryptocurrency wealth creation myths are everywhere, but the truth is: 90% of blockchain projects are Ponzi schemes disguised as technology. During the 2017 ICO boom, a few people could raise funds just by creating a PowerPoint; now it's IFO, IMO—essentially still a 'shearing韭菜流水线' (a韭菜 harvesting assembly line). Don't believe in 'hundred-fold coins' promises—projects that can actually deliver are less than 1%. For example, some project whitepapers are as poor as elementary school PPTs, yet they fool retail investors with celebrity endorsements. Remember: compliant projects never guarantee coin prices—they only emphasize risks.
