The Madness and Rebirth of 100U

That day, there was only 100U left in my cryptocurrency wallet. Watching Bitcoin’s rapid volatile candlestick chart, I took a deep breath and decided to go all-in. I opened the contract trading interface, maxed out a hundredfold leverage, and went long at the critical support level. Fate seemed to favor me at this moment, and Bitcoin immediately surged. Watching my account balance wildly fluctuate like a billing statement, my heart pounded intensely.

In just three days, 100U turned into 3,000U. After tasting the sweetness, my confidence instantly inflated, mistakenly believing I was the “trading god” chosen by heaven. During that period, the market was in a unidirectional bull trend, and I adopted an extremely aggressive “profit roll-over” strategy. Whenever the market retraced, I would crazily add to my position; whenever I made a slight profit, I would continue to increase leverage. The speed of wealth accumulation exceeded my imagination. Five thousand, twenty thousand, fifty thousand… Late at night, when Bitcoin broke new highs, my assets officially surpassed 100kU.

Staring at that cold string of numbers on the screen, I felt as if I was standing at the top of the world, beginning to fantasize about a luxurious life after financial freedom. However, the market is best at shattering blind arrogance. Black swan events strike unexpectedly, and Bitcoin suddenly plunges without warning. By this time, I had already become accustomed to heavy positions and operating without stop-loss. Faced with a waterfall of行情, I not only failed to decisively cut losses but was also hijacked by greed and unwillingness, choosing to hold on and continue adding to my position, trying to lower my average price.

A long “Heaven and Earth Needle” suddenly pierced through my psychological defenses. The moment the liquidation notification popped up, my account instantly went to zero. 100kU evaporated without a trace within minutes, returning to 0. That night, I slumped in my chair, palms sweaty. The overwhelming sense of loss swallowed me whole. I paid an extremely painful price, finally waking up amid the ruins.

I began to reflect frantically on this journey from heaven to hell, and fully realized that to survive in the market and avoid going broke again, I must strictly adhere to the following three iron trading disciplines:

First, never hold a position without a stop-loss, and must strictly execute stop-loss orders. Before entering each trade, set an unchangeable stop-loss point in the system. Losses are the cost of trading; decisive cutting of losses can preserve capital and keep the green mountains alive.

Second, thoroughly bid farewell to high leverage and heavy positions. Leverage is a double-edged sword; large positions have extremely low tolerance for error. Future operations must keep individual losses within 2% of total capital, using reasonable low leverage, and rely on win rate and risk-reward ratio for steady profits.

Third, respect the market and overcome the greed for quick riches. The market will not always obey personal will; making money depends on strict strategies rather than luck. When assets grow significantly, profits must be withdrawn in time to secure gains.

This roller coaster journey from 100U to 100kU and back to zero, although it tore my heart apart, also became the most valuable wealth in my life. It made me realize that contract trading is not a gamble for quick riches but a long-term battle against human greed and fear. Now, armed with these survival rules bought with 100kU, I am ready to start over. This time, I will no longer let myself fall easily.
