Abstract generation in progress

In the volatile crypto market, starting with a small capital like 100U can be the beginning of success — if there is the right strategy and iron discipline. Many new traders often fall into a common mistake: chasing trends, “jumping on” altcoins, and expecting to double their account in a few days. The result is often losing more than half of the capital after just a few trades. However, the transition from “quick wins” to “disciplined trading” is the turning point that helps many achieve stable profits. The core mindset is: developing the right habits with 100U is more important than trying to make a lot of money immediately. 1️⃣ Start With Stable Assets Instead of choosing coins with extreme volatility, traders can start with liquid and stable assets like ETH. With reasonable leverage, for example 100x, 50U can create a significant position, but it is important to only open a single position and not be greedy. 2️⃣ Set Clear Stop Loss and Take Profit Rules One of the most important principles is to stop loss at 20% — if 50U drops to 40U, you must cut the loss immediately, absolutely do not hold the position hoping for a price rebound. On the contrary, when profits reach 100%, one must take profits without hesitation, even if the price may continue to rise. The goal is not to catch the peak, but to preserve profits and maintain discipline. 3️⃣ Accept Small Losses to Avoid Larger Risks In the first transactions, hitting the stop-loss level is normal. The important thing is to learn to accept a loss of 10U to avoid losing an additional 30U or 50U later. Small losses are tuition fees, but not following the rules is the cause of the account “burning”. 4️⃣ Expand Capital in Stages, Do Not Go All In After each successful cycle, the capital can gradually increase from 100U → 200U → 400U → 800U. At each step, only half of the capital should be used for trading, while the remaining part is kept as a reserve fund. When the capital reaches 800U, the strategy should change: only use 100U for each trade, considering it as having 8 “mistake opportunities,” which helps maintain a steady mindset and better risk control. 5️⃣ Keep the Principle, Do Not Touch the Principal In any case, a losing order should not affect the entire account. Even when the market is favorable, the principal must be absolutely preserved, only using the profit portion to continue experimenting with the strategy. Summary: 4 Ironclad Principles for Building Sustainability Cut losses when going in the wrong direction, do not wait for the price to bounce back. Do not go all in, always keep at least 50% of the capital as a reserve. Take profits when reaching the target, do not be greedy. Persistence and discipline, success comes from stability, not luck. With this approach, 100U is not just a small number — it becomes a test of emotional control and trading discipline. Those who maintain these 5 ironclad principles will gradually progress from “newbie” to “stable trader,” not getting caught up in the FOMO whirlwind of the crypto market.
