Seeing many beginners who start with just a few hundred or a thousand dollars and want to jump in and make a move, I understand this enthusiasm. But today I won't talk empty words; I'll share from my own practical experience whether small funds have any chance in the current market, and the common pitfalls to avoid.

My core point is straightforward: contracts are like a knife. Most people don't die because they guessed the wrong direction, but because they don't know how to use this knife at all.

**What is the story of "Turning 100U into 100,000" about?**

You’ve probably seen plans like this somewhere—turning a few hundred dollars into hundreds of thousands. It sounds exciting. But honestly, I tried a similar "three-stage push" method with 500U, and it gave me a sharp wake-up call.

The methodology is like this: use 100U as a unit, set a stop loss of 3-5% each time, and when you make a profit, reinvest all the profit into the next trade (100→200→400→800). If you pass all three stages, your principal can reach over 1,000 dollars, with an emergency fund of about 200U left. Sounds pretty good, right?

The problem is—successively passing these stages is extremely unlikely. Any market fluctuation can disrupt your rhythm. My real data shows that the success rate of passing all three stages is less than 40%. In other words, more than six out of ten times, you'll get stopped at some point.

If you insist on using this method, remember these key points:

⚠️ Don’t attempt more than 3 stages; even if you win the first nine times, a margin call or liquidation on the tenth can wipe out all your profits.

⚠️ Always set a stop loss on each trade; never hold through a loss or gamble recklessly.

⚠️ Only trade highly liquid, relatively stable mainstream coins—BTC and ETH are the safest. Never go for those altcoins that can jump or drop 200% in a day.

**When your principal exceeds 1,000U, your strategy must change**

Once you actually grow your 500U to over 1,000U, you can’t keep gambling recklessly. Because your position size has increased, your risk tolerance decreases. This is something many people don’t realize—the initial logic of flipping the account and the mid-term strategy are fundamentally different.
