To be honest, using 5U to play small coins doesn't show any significant fluctuations, and without leverage, it's meaningless. That's why so many people can't resist adding leverage—wanting to see returns in a short period.
My experience is quite typical. Starting with 5U, I used leverage to once double my account to around 130. It felt really great at the time, thinking I had found a way to make money. But reality is often harsh—later, I got liquidated directly. At that moment, my mindset completely collapsed, and my confidence was instantly wiped out.
Fortunately, a friend saw I was in a bad state and gave me another 5U to start over. This time, I learned my lesson and decided to focus only on ARC and Ethereum, no longer chasing high prices recklessly.
Now that dawn has broken, I should get some good rest. Trading is really exhausting—it’s not physical fatigue, but mental exhaustion. Let’s leave it at that for now, and I’ll see how to adjust my strategy later.
