I started with an investment of 800 yuan. At that time, friends in the circle laughed at me, saying that this amount of startup capital wasn't even enough to cover transaction fees. Later, it proved that the amount of funds is not the decisive factor—sticking to the strategy, maintaining steady accumulation, is the true moat. In the end, I turned that 800 yuan into over 160,000, having gone through countless trial and error along the way.



When I first entered the contract market, I was like all beginners—opening large positions with no knowledge. I got liquidated several times, paying tuition until I doubted life itself. It was only later that I understood a principle: the secret to doubling a small principal is not how spectacular the single trade profit is, but how to steadily grow the cake step by step.

**Early Accumulation: Small Positions for Trial, Quick Entry and Exit**

Initially, I set a strict rule for myself: no single position exceeding 10% of the total funds, which was about 80 yuan. I only chose mainstream coins because these coins are actively traded, have small slippage, and sudden market moves are less likely to cause instant liquidation.

In terms of trading rhythm, I pursued high-frequency small profits. Taking profit at 5% to 10% per trade and then decisively exiting, without waiting for the entire wave to complete. It seems each trade doesn't earn much, but the frequent execution and high win rate made up for it. In less than three months, the 800 yuan grew to 2,600 yuan. The biggest gain in this stage wasn't how much I earned, but developing a feel for the market and discipline in execution. When operating with the smallest positions, the psychological burden is light, which actually enables more rational decision-making.

**Second Stage: Add Positions Only When Profitable, Never Replenish After Loss**

After reaching 2,600 yuan, I began to adjust my approach. I only consider adding to positions when there is floating profit; if there is a loss, I absolutely do not top up. The benefit of this approach is to ensure that each addition is based on a winning position, rather than gambling out of necessity. The logic becomes clearer, and psychologically, I am more stable.

From 8,000 to 160,000 is truly amazing, but I still think most people die at the first step of opening a large position. The key is execution, not luck. I'm also using this 10% risk control strategy, but it really tests your mentality. Adding funds without losing is truly a lifesaver; many people die by buying more as the price drops. Running away at 5% profit is indeed rare, but the stability is unbeatable. Just want to ask how to survive the bear market later on, this is the real test.

This guy is right, small positions + high frequency trading are indeed much more reliable than one-shot life changes.

Opening a position with 80 bucks to make 160,000—how much patience does that take? I, with my shaky hands, simply can't do it.

8,000 to 160,000, this pace is really steady, much more cautious than I was back then.
