Holding 7,800 yuan in your hand and want to turn it into hundreds of thousands?



To be honest—it's possible, but there's only one way.

People often ask me similar questions: With a starting capital of seven or eight thousand, can you make hundreds of thousands in a year? I never beat around the bush: you can, but you have to go the contract route, and you need to know how to play it right. If you’re talking about spot trading? Don’t kid yourself. Even if your 7,800 in spot grows fivefold, that’s just thirty or forty thousand—a far cry from hundreds of thousands.

If you want to multiply your money tenfold or more in a year, contracts are the only answer. But why do most people lose so quickly? They also trip up on contracts.

How can you avoid becoming cannon fodder and actually maximize your returns? I'll lay out three iron rules.

**First, light positions and stop-losses.**
Don’t fantasize about going all-in and flipping your life around—that’s a surefire way to lose everything. With a starting capital of seven or eight thousand, never put more than 500U in a single trade. Give yourself enough room to make mistakes. If you’re wrong, admit defeat and cut your losses. The market is open every day; keeping your capital is what gives you the next opportunity. Many people lose because they can’t admit defeat.

**Next, snowball your profits.**
With small capital, how do you scale up? By rolling your profits into larger positions. Turn 100U into 200U, and use 200U for your next trade—never touch your principal. That’s the core logic of growing small funds into big ones—not by messing around with small trades every day, but by using profits to leverage bigger gains.

**Lastly, follow the trend.**
Don’t even touch choppy markets—that’s just handing your money to the big players. Wait for a breakout, wait until the trend is clear. It's better to do fewer trades and get them right. There are only a few big trends each year; catching just one or two is enough for exponential growth in your capital.

Too many people rush in every day, chasing pumps and dumps, then blame the market when they get liquidated. Is it really the market’s fault? No, it’s that your method is wrong and your mindset isn’t steady.

Turning 7,800 into hundreds of thousands isn’t a fantasy. But this path demands extreme discipline: light positions, stop-losses, rolling your profits—stick to these, and your funds will naturally grow.

The real question is: can you control your own hands? Can you withstand the lonely periods when there’s no action?

I’ve seen quite a few people grow their small capital into something big. The next wave is already brewing—figure it out and seize the chance, don’t wait until it’s over and then regret it.

It sounds right, but how many can truly stick to small positions and stop-loss? Most still tend to go all-in.

To put it simply, it's a matter of capital efficiency comparison. Playing spot trading with a small principal really doesn't offer that kind of leverage... But I've heard this argument too many times, and in the end, it still comes down to mentality and execution.

That's right, it's execution hell—most people fail because of their mindset.

Everything you said is right, but the reality is that 99% of people can't do it, myself included haha.

It sounds nice, but how many people can really tough it out? I haven't seen many who haven't been liquidated.
