Starting with 100 yuan to leverage sounds like a joke. But if you really want to survive in trading, this method is worth a try.

Divide 100U into two parts, each 50U. For the first trade, choose a mainstream coin like Ethereum. 100x leverage can roughly open 1-2 positions. Just open one position to start with.

The rules are simple, but must be strictly followed—close immediately if you lose 20%, and exit after doubling your money. It sounds easy, but execution is difficult. Most people can't resist the temptation of rebounds or greedily wait for the next surge, resulting in a total wipeout.

The goal is: win 3 times in a row, and the principal grows from 100U to 200, 400, 800. Use only half of the funds for each position, keeping the other half calmly in the account. When it reaches 800U, change your approach—only use 100U per trade, so even if you lose 8 times in a row, you won't die.

The golden rules after increasing capital:

If you’re wrong about the direction, admit defeat—don't wait for a rebound. Holding on to losses only increases them; this is a painful lesson.

Always keep half of your position in hand. Going all-in once is too risky.

Take profits when you should—if it rises another 10 times later, it’s none of your business—greed is the most expensive emotion in trading.

Use isolated margin mode for trading. Calculate risk for each trade separately; if you get liquidated, only lose that trade’s amount, keeping the main capital safe.

This strategy isn’t meant to make you rich overnight. The crypto world isn’t short of stories about overnight doubles; what’s missing are those who survive the bear market. Develop discipline with minimal costs—learn true stop-loss, reject greed, and use position sizing to test and learn. Once these become instinctive, consider increasing your bets. Many people fail at the first step because they never seriously follow a rule.

To be honest, this set of theories sounds quite refreshing, but there are very few who can really survive the first liquidation cycle. I've seen too many people start with 100U, only to get stuck at a 20% stop-loss, and their psychological defenses collapse immediately.

It's easier to say than to do. How many people can truly stick to a 20% stop loss? I have deep experience with greed. Last time, I didn't take profit and it directly exploded. The logic of turning 100U into 800U is indeed clear, but the key is discipline. That's why most people still fail in execution, not because they don't understand the rules. Leverage of 100x sounds exciting, but in reality, it's just a gamble on human nature. Going all-in really means risking everything at once; splitting positions is the core to survival. I feel this approach is more about developing habits rather than a secret to getting rich. How to put it, staying alive is the top priority, and that's not wrong. Taking profit seems simple, but watching the continued rise of the K-line really hurts. The isolated margin mode can indeed protect the principal, there's no problem with that.

That's right, the key is to stay alive. 100x leverage sounds exciting, but the ones who really make money are those who know when to admit defeat. --- Greed, ah, if you get wiped out once, it's all gone. I've seen too many cases. --- Taking profits is really difficult. Watching the coin keep rising and then forcibly closing the position... that feeling... but it's much better than getting wiped out. --- Using isolated margin is worth a try; at least if you get wiped out, it won't collapse everything. --- Winning three times in a row and reaching 800 sounds simple, but only the winners can survive past this point. --- Starting with 100U, indeed, it's the least costly way to experiment. The problem is most people can't even stick to the 20% rule to close the position.

Sounds good, but how many people can really live to 800U? Most people break their first rebound. That's right, greed is indeed the most expensive emotion in trading, but unfortunately, by the time you realize this, you've already been liquidated three times. Rolling from 100U to 800U sounds great, but in reality, only those with strong mental resilience can endure it. The buddy I know is stuck at the second step. Stop-loss is easy to say but hard to do. Who can really cut their losses when they see their account floating in loss? The isolated margin mode is indeed reliable; at least one mistake won't wipe you out completely. This gameplay is just testing your patience and character, not some divine strategy. Disciplined people would have already made money. Really, instead of studying leverage multiples, it's better to engrain the word "stop-loss" into your mind.

Listening to this, I couldn't help but think of the story about that guy who opened 100x with 100u and lost everything in one night. Really, greed is more terrifying than a margin call.

Really? Turning 100U into 800 still requires discipline. How do I feel like it's even harder than finding a girlfriend... --- "Take profit and stop"—this phrase hits too close to home. Just thinking about the 10x increase later keeps me awake. --- Using only half of the position size each time is indeed ruthless, but most people probably can't do it at all. That itch in their hearts... --- Taking a rule seriously? How many people in the crypto world can actually do it... Heard too many stories of all-in bets, and stories of surviving are indeed rare. --- 100x leverage with mainstream coins sounds less like trading and more like gambling, but this risk control system seems to really work. --- Losing 8 times in a row without dying is awesome, but the premise is to really endure those 8 times without liquidation. --- Greed is the most expensive emotion. This phrase should be engraved at the entrance of every exchange. --- I respect the isolated margin mode; at least it won't wipe out everything in one liquidation. --- The problem is, how many people's stop-loss orders can be executed quickly? Most are still waiting for a rebound.

Honestly, going from 100U to 800U sounds great, but I've seen too many people die on the second trade. Greed is truly the most expensive tuition in trading. The core of this method is one sentence—living is more important than making money, but in practice? Hehe, most people simply can't hold up. Take profit is just that—taking profit. I should get this tattooed on myself, or else I might keep waiting for that illusory next wave. Leverage of 100x sounds exciting, but it's really just practicing rule awareness with the smallest capital. I respect this approach. The key is the isolated margin mode; calculating risk separately can really be a lifesaver, or else a single all-in could wipe you out. The most frightening thing is holding a position and surrendering. Saying "give up" sounds simple, but 99% of people, including myself, can't do it. Trying different positions and learning from mistakes is actually buying lessons at the lowest cost—more than what you'd learn from a total wi

Looking at it, I can't help but recall the last lesson. 100x leverage is indeed exciting, but you really can't withstand a market reversal and shakeout. I agree with making a profit of one time and then exiting; it's just that your hand will tremble during execution.
