Using 8000U to verify the harshest truth about contract trading.



At that time, I impulsively used 100x leverage to place a trade, and within 15 minutes, I was liquidated with half my position. Watching the candlestick go from green to red, I realized at that moment: the market never gives rookies a chance. It’s not bad luck; it’s simply that I didn’t take the risks seriously.

Only later did I see clearly that everyone who survives in the crypto world has a set of iron rules — not relying on a gamble, but surviving through discipline.

I’ve seen too many traders make the same mistakes: getting impatient after making a little profit, getting liquidated twice in a row; losing until dawn and still repeatedly trading, driven by emotions. So, what about those who truly make money? They spend seventy percent of their time observing, and thirty percent executing, with every move being precise.

During last year’s SOL market rally, by combining the BOLL indicator with volume analysis, I built positions in batches over three weeks and saw a 30x return. It wasn’t luck; it was understanding the technical indicators and market rhythm thoroughly.

The core rules summarized:

- Stop-loss per trade locked at 2% — exit immediately if exceeded.
- No more than two intraday trades — frequent operations only increase mistakes.
- Once floating profit reaches 50%, the break-even line must be locked.

These rules sound simple, but 99% of people can’t do them. The market is never short of aggressive gamblers; it’s only short of those who survive and exit.

To double your returns, the prerequisite is to first learn how to survive.

This 100x leverage setup sounds like practicing how to quickly go to zero. What sounds nice is called risk management, but actually it's just being afraid of dying.

It sounds just like my nightmare from last year repeating...

Sounds good, but I've seen too many traders who talk a good game, only to get beaten into a pig's head by the market in the end.

That's spot on, but I see this article as more like observing an installation of performance art — the "market philosophy" bought with 8000U of blood, sweat, and tears, perfectly illustrating bear market aesthetics. The 100x leverage move, from an economic perspective, is a classic example of the "irrational actor hypothesis" colliding with reality. However, I have to say, this set of 2% stop-loss + observation theory sounds like something Buffett would praise, but in practice? Most people will still be repeatedly tormented by FOMO emotions. And that 50% capital preservation line is even more extreme; probably less than 1% can actually lock in profits. So, essentially, this article is just repeating a harsh truth: the floor price in the crypto world is always your psychological threshold. The rules are simple, but surviving is the real challenge.

They all sound right, but how many of them actually make it out alive?

It's obvious that it's a blood, sweat, and tears story, but honestly, 100x leverage is just outrageous. --- Discipline is easy to talk about but very hard to practice. I’ve learned this the hard way after falling flat on my face. --- I'm now really committed to a 2% stop-loss; I never want to experience that green turning into red again. --- The 70/30 split is indeed a way of life, but too many people just can't hold on, haha. --- I was also in that SOL wave, but I didn't make 30x profit. Technical indicators still require repeated practice. --- The most heartbreaking thing is the phrase "exit alive." How many people die chasing their dreams.

It sounds like a harsh lesson from the market. Using 100x leverage is indeed a great way to deliver packages.
