#大户持仓动态 From 3,000 to over 200,000, this is not a fairy tale

The crypto market is constantly changing, and futures trading is like a double-edged sword—making money quickly, but also ruthless when losing.

Half a year ago, a friend came to me. His account had already been blown up, and he was left with only 3,000U. He used his frugal savings to make a final gamble. Now? His account is stable at over 200,000. Don’t think this is luck; honestly, it’s about learning to "stay alive."

The method I taught him is very straightforward: start with 300U, risking only 30U each time, using 100x leverage. When the market is favorable, a 1% increase can double the account, causing a rapid surge; when the market turns against him, it’s wiped out instantly—an adrenaline rush comparable to a roller coaster ride.

But to avoid liquidation, these strict rules are indispensable:

**Stop loss first, let go of illusions** — Beginners love to gamble and hope for a "rebound." I’ve blown up twice myself before I understood: when the stop-loss point appears, cut the position immediately. The market won’t give you a chance just because you’re unwilling to accept loss; wasting even a second can lead to total loss.

**Close after consecutive losses** — If you lose more than 5 trades in a row, shut down the software immediately. Operating blindly in a sideways market is like giving money to the market. The wisest choice at this time is to rest. Restart the next day with a clearer mind.

**Withdraw profits promptly** — The numbers in your account are virtual; only the money in your wallet counts as real. I told him to set a rule: whenever the account grows by 3,000U, withdraw 50%, and do whatever with the rest. This ensures profits are secured and allows continued participation in the market.

**Market unclear, stay flat** — 100x leverage is only suitable for trending markets. When the trend is clear, profits come quickly; but in choppy markets, it becomes a meat grinder, capable of making you doubt yourself.

**Never risk more than 10% of your capital** — Full leverage is like betting your life. I never let his single position exceed 10% of the account. Even if the trend reverses completely, it only shrinks the account, preventing a total liquidation. This keeps the mindset stable.

To be honest, the essence of futures trading isn’t about who is the most aggressive, but about who can survive longer. Those who can weather the storms will be the ones laughing last.

It’s too easy to get lost in the crypto world alone. Having a professional guide you to understand market temperament and risk management is much better than blindly figuring it out yourself. I’m always here, riding the waves with you in this market.

Damn, with 100 times leverage, going all in really can turn 3k into 200k? It's easy to say, but the risk... If I get five wrong trades, I'm out, I can accept that, otherwise, it will really mess with my mindset. If turning 3000 into 200000 was that easy, there wouldn't be any poor people left in the crypto world. The rule of withdrawing profits is the most practical; the numbers in the account are indeed all virtual. However, saying that stop loss comes first is easy, when actually losing, everyone wants to gamble on a rebound.

Honestly, living is really more valuable than making money. I love the 10% position rule; those with full positions are just here to give away money. Taking profits and withdrawing is so ruthless; most people get caught up in greed. If you don't understand the market, just lie flat—this is a phrase I want as a tattoo. Turning 3,000 into 200,000 is not surprising; what's surprising is that most people can't hold on until the end.

Living is the true winner; I deeply resonate with this statement. Those who have been liquidated understand. --- Stop-loss is easy to say but really deadly to implement. I just didn't have the heart and ended up going straight to GG. --- The 30U hundredfold operation is indeed exciting, but how strong must your mindset be to avoid chasing highs or bottom fishing? --- That withdrawal rule is brilliant. I used to see my account balance grow larger and larger, only to lose everything in the last trade. --- I only realized now that the rule of closing the position after a mistake is how I lost so much unfair money in the past two years. --- 100x in volatile markets is truly a meat grinder. My hard-earned money is inside. --- Keeping position size under 10% seems conservative, but you can only continue playing if you survive. Full position is really suicide. --- To be honest, if no one guides you, you'll definitely pay a sky-high tuition fee through trial and error.

Hmm... There's nothing wrong with the stop-loss strategy, but I still think 10% position size is a bit conservative. I need to try the trick of closing the position after a loss; my recent performance has indeed been disappointing. This theory sounds great, but I'm worried about mental breakdowns during execution. The ones who truly make money never post such things. 3000x to 200,000? I believe it, but it's probably survivor bias. The key is to stay alive; that really hits home.

Account numbers are just illusions; withdrawals are the archaeological site... This set of rules seems simple, but it resembles the survival rule of early digital art communities—being alive is more important than winning.

3000 to over 200,000? Bro, how come you haven't blown up your account? Why am I so bad at this? Stop-loss is really crucial. I used to be reluctant to cut losses before, and as a result, I lost everything in one go. Losing 5 consecutive trades means I need to lie low. I must remember this trick, or I’ll keep chasing trades. Every time the account increases by 3000, I withdraw 50%. That’s true respect for profits. 100x leverage in volatile markets is definitely a meat grinder. I’ve been ground up countless times. I can't stick to a 10% position size. I always want to go all-in to turn things around. Honestly, only by staying alive can you make money. If you die, you lose everything.

Stop-loss is really a lifesaver. I previously refused to cut my position and ended up losing half a month's salary to the market. I need to remember to close after 5 consecutive wrong trades; it's too easy to fall into the trap of trying to recover losses. The key is to stay alive. The numbers in the account are indeed virtual; only withdrawals count. 100x leverage in volatile markets is really a meat grinder, making me doubt life itself. The 10% position limit seems conservative, but that's the difference between those who survive with a smile and those who get liquidated directly.

3000U turned into 200,000 sounds impressive, but this leverage strategy is really a double-edged sword. One misstep and it's all gone. 100x leverage is a gamble for life; no matter what stop-loss rules you set, they are useless. Once your mindset collapses, you forget everything. The numbers in the account are indeed virtual; you're right about withdrawals, but the premise is to make money first. Closing after making 5 wrong trades, I respect that. That's true living. To put it simply, it's still a matter of probability. Living longer doesn't necessarily mean making money. Those with good luck can turn things around, but unlucky 3000U can't save you.

Stopping loss first, there's no denying that, but how many people can really cut losses when it matters most... --- Leverage of 100x sounds exciting, but I've seen too many accounts go from tens of thousands to zero directly. Still, mindset is the most important. --- "Being alive" is indeed the first lesson in the crypto world, more valuable than any technical analysis. --- I agree with the withdrawal rules; account balances are virtual, and you must lock in your gains. --- If you make a mistake, take a break. This is the easiest thing to overlook. Many people die because they refuse to admit they were wrong. --- The 10% position limit is a real red line that must not be crossed. I've seen too many people go all-in and disappear in the end. --- It's easy to talk about it nicely, but execution is key. Knowing is easy, doing is hard, everyone.
