Many beginners look at large capital operations with awe, but small funds can also make a splash in the contract market. Today, let's talk about the logic of using small funds for leveraged trading, especially the approach that seems aggressive but actually has manageable risk.
First, let's discuss the basic setup. If you use $100 with 3x leverage to go long, you won't face liquidation unless the price drops more than 30%. This number is crucial—it determines your risk bottom line.
The brilliance of this method lies in the fact that at the true entry signals (such as technical divergence or certain chart patterns like "dragonfly doji"), the market is unlikely to continue crashing more than 30%. Of course, retracements of 5%, 10%, or 20% are normal, but the probability of a sustained drop beyond 30% is low. So, your risk is actually controllable.
As for the gains? After a hot new coin hits the exchange, it often experiences a brief period of consolidation before rallying 1-2-3 times. This is not a fantasy—recently, a popular coin doubled in just two days. Even if you just go long with $100 at 3x leverage and do nothing else, you could earn over $1000.
But what if you keep rolling over and adding positions during the floating profits? That could lead to gains of 3000-5000 or even more. Conversely, if a catastrophic crash occurs and liquidates your position, your maximum loss is just that $100.
An important detail in this process is: when floating profits appear, you can gradually transfer the gains out until you withdraw all your principal. This way, what remains is purely profit, greatly reducing psychological pressure and making operations more relaxed.
The entire process is quite straightforward: identify recent hot coins, confirm entry signals, then use small funds with 3x leverage to go long. If the market moves upward, continue adding to your position as profits grow; if it moves downward, unless the decline approaches 30%, just relax and wait. Based on experience, genuine downward signals rarely lead to a crash all the way to liquidation.
This is the underlying logic of small funds achieving accelerated growth through leverage and rolling positions.
