Sharing a fan’s experience of using 100U and reaching 140kU in three months. Below, I’ll talk about his thinking at the time in first person.



First, let me clarify: this is an extreme case. He also lost quite a bit of 100U in the middle. What you can take away from it is his discipline—don’t just stare at the final number.

In the first phase, I treated 100U as a breakout fund. I only made trades in hot opportunities I was familiar with. The target was to step forward gradually: 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600. I would push forward for at most four consecutive steps. If any “gate” failed, I would stop—no adding more principal, and I wouldn’t rush to flip back.

What this phase relies on is small edge battles and strict discipline. With a small amount of capital, the worst fear is not making profits slowly—it’s that after winning a few times, everything suddenly gets out of control. One deal can give back all the prior profits.

After reaching 1600U, I stopped chasing hot trends and running around. I mainly watched BTC and ETH. I only acted when a clear structure appeared on the 15-minute timeframe. Each time, the amount I used was kept within 20%. If the direction was wrong, I exited according to the plan—never using the remaining position to “save” an incorrect trade.

I also set aside 1000U separately as a trading account. Each time I only used 200U to test. Any profits were slowly converted into spot holdings. After losses, I would stop first to review and reflect—I wouldn’t immediately sell other assets to add more to cover it.

The most crucial point of the whole method is: don’t be greedy.

If I hit the short-term target, I take profit and leave. After exiting, I rest for at least one hour. I then re-evaluate whether this market move still has value to participate in. A real one-way trend won’t last only a few minutes. Missing a small segment is better than getting emotionally carried away and chasing back in.

After setting a stop-loss, I also don’t rush to place the next trade. Every single order must be done in a clear, calm state.

A little over three months, I went from 100U to 140kU, but along the way I also failed many times.

What’s truly worth keeping is this: only test with funds that you can afford to risk. When you get it right, let the profits gradually grow. When you get it wrong, stop immediately.

For small capital to scale up, it relies on carrying less risk, moving at a slower pace, and keeping emotions stable. How far you can go is often hidden in these seemingly most unnoticeable details.

The line that hit me the most after reading was “at least an hour’s rest after you leave”—that’s the real deal, down to the details.

This discipline is too strict—if four consecutive attempts to push fail, you stop. Most people lose because they refuse to stop.

The biggest fear for small capital isn’t that it earns slowly—it’s that after winning a few times, it suddenly goes out of control—I printed this sentence and put it on the screen.

Getting to 140k from 100U sounds great, but the line “I also lost a lot of 100U halfway through” is the real truth—survivorship bias warning
