Having been in this market for many years, I've seen countless stories. A bunch of newcomers rush in, filled with fantasies of overnight riches, only to retreat in defeat after a few months. Lack of execution, no discipline, shattered mindset—these are their common endings.

Today I want to talk about not some magical formula or guaranteed winning secret, but a solid path: using the least amount of money to cultivate the toughest mindset, and through position rolling tactics, embed trading discipline into your bones. I’ve walked this path myself, and the results are truly effective.

**Starting with 100 Dollars**

Why choose the number 100U? Not because it can double quickly, but because this amount is most suitable for low-cost trial and error. Split this 100U in half, two portions of 50U each. For the first trade, only use one 50U portion to open a position, while the other 50U must be held tightly—this is your "lifeline."

When selecting coins, there’s no room for debate—only focus on top mainstream coins like ETH. Liquidity should be stable, and volatility within controllable ranges, unlike some small coins that could go to zero in minutes. I can leverage up to 100x, but keep the position tightly fixed at one standard unit. The goal isn’t to make crazy money, but to control risk exposure under extremely small capital.

**Two Ironclad Rules, Neither Can Be Relaxed**

These are lessons learned through blood and sweat paid in real money, and they are the core support of the entire system.

Rule One: Stick to a 20% stop-loss. If your 50U capital drops to 40U, close the position immediately—don’t hesitate for a second. I’ve seen too many people lose 20% and still dream on, stubbornly holding on until they lose 80% of their capital, collapsing completely. Stop-loss isn’t about giving up; it’s about preserving your remaining chips and giving yourself a chance to survive.

Rule Two: Execute the 100% take-profit rule decisively. When you earn 100U, close all positions and exit immediately. Many will think, “Since I’ve made money, I might as well try for more”—that’s the moment you fall from heaven into hell. The market is always there; no need to rush.

**Why This System Can Survive**

Someone asked me if this approach yields too low returns. It’s true, but survival is more important than making big money. You must understand a mathematical fact: losing 50% of your capital from 100U to 50U, but then needing a 200% gain to recover back to 150U, requires a 400% profit. The compound effect of losses is negative, and once you fall into it, it’s hard to climb out.

So, the logic of this method is: protect your capital with strict stop-losses, giving yourself more chances to try again. Every successful trade can grow your account from 100U to 150U, 200U, and beyond. Over time, this process also shapes your mindset unconsciously.

**The Significance of Persistence**

100U sounds small, but if you spend a month or two, strictly following discipline in every trading cycle, you’ll be surprised to find your mindset has changed. No more chasing highs and selling lows, no more opening positions based on rumors, no more risking beyond your budget just to recover losses—these changes are more valuable than account balance growth.

Once this discipline is ingrained, when you scale up your capital, you’ll already have resistance against human weaknesses. By then, whether it’s 500U or 5000U, you’ll know how to survive and move forward.

Market opportunities are always there, but your mind and discipline are only one set. Starting with small money and cultivating good habits is the fundamental way to survive long-term in this market.
