Today, I took 20 USDT and ran a 20x long position on ETH. The current floating profit has reached 13%, which is roughly enough to buy a bowl of rice noodles filled with fatty intestines.

Speaking of which, this is probably what small-scale trading means: not dreaming of getting rich overnight, just hoping that every market fluctuation can be turned into something you can eat in real life. With a position so small it doesn't affect sleep, profits are just small surprises in life, and losses don't matter much—at most, it means eating fewer snacks that day.

Trading parameters are as simple as can be—margin is only 2 USDT, leverage is set to 20x, and the current floating profit is +2.83 USDT. Such small operations neither cause mental breakdowns due to large principal nor prevent you from experiencing the thrill of market fluctuations. Some say this is the "ant's position" romance; I think more accurately, it's the moment when the cold, digital numbers in crypto turn into hot bowl noodles in real life.

Crypto trading doesn't have to be high-end; sometimes, the most down-to-earth feelings come from the smallest accounts.

Haha, this is my trading style, small money happy worker Hey, wait a minute, is 20x leverage really okay? I feel a bit excited Rice noodles are indeed excellent, but can I just switch to hotpot? You guys can't understand the happiness of small accounts at all, sleep quality is super good I’ve thought this through, next time I’ll do the same I kinda want to try it, but I’m still a bit scared I just want to know if hitting liquidation can still keep a calm mindset Feeling like earning some snack money is really comfortable 20x leverage is really fierce, I dare to open at most 5x

Playing with 20x leverage on 20U, this is dancing in the eye of the storm. Eventually, you'll be liquidated and fed.

ngl 20x leverage on $20 is basically asking for a liquidation speedrun... back in my mining days we called that "educational losses"

Haha, I like this move. You can even find happiness in eating rice noodles. Really, sleeping well with small positions directly boosts your quality of sleep. Playing with 20x leverage on Ant positions—that's the right way to open in the crypto world. Me too, losses are just like money spent on snacks, and profits mean eating more large intestine dishes. This little u can still bring a rush, truly impressive. Not reckless trading actually makes more steady profits, seriously. This is life—it's not about staring at the screen every day and losing your mind. Small amounts with multiple waves are more exciting and healthier than all-in bets. By the way, your 2u margin with 20x leverage, your risk control is pretty good. Crypto trading should be like this—don't be brainwashed by big V's stories of sudden wealth.

I like this mindset, but 20x leverage is still a bit risky; one impulsive move and it's gone. The money spent on rice noodles is indeed quite a lot; I've lost enough to buy snacks haha. Ant Wallet workers, this is the real way to live in the crypto world. Really, small amounts actually improve sleep quality; big positions just make you watch K-lines and lose hair every day. Keep going, hope this bowl of rice noodles reaches your stomach smoothly.

Haha, rice noodle exchange, this idea is brilliant Playing 20x with 20U, your guts are really bold This is the kind of vibe the crypto world should have—no stress, no harm I also want to try, but I'm afraid a wave of pullback will wipe out my rice noodle Just over 2U for this thrill? I need to learn Really, small positions sleep better, big positions get heart attacks every day Fat intestine rice noodle, worth it, just afraid I can't get a bite

Ha, using 2 yuan leverage at 20x to spike rice noodles, this is the real way of life for crypto people. It's a bit impressive, but the feeling of licking blood at 20x leverage is really hard to hold. If we think about it in terms of food, I love this logic haha. Small positions really improve sleep quality, and my mindset is also stable. Hey wait, a floating profit of 2.83U feels enough, our happiness threshold is indeed low. That's why I still stay in the crypto world, just for this sense of ease. A 20x leverage, a panic sell-off and it's gone, brother, how can you be so relaxed? Wake up, be careful, a margin call can come faster than eating rice noodles.

Haha, this is the real deal. I play like this too. --- Even the money for rice noodles can be calculated, I need to learn this mindset. --- 20x leverage and still able to sleep? I’d need half a year’s worth of heartache medicine. --- I just love the feeling of treating coins as meal money, so satisfying. --- A floating profit of 2.83 USDT exchanged for rice noodles, this exchange rate is quite soothing. --- Small position trading is truly awesome; even if I lose, it doesn’t hurt. --- Woke up, doing 20x like this is definitely gambling rather than trading, right? --- Why do I always operate in the opposite way? I always lose more than I gain. --- This brother has truly figured it out; you don’t need to make things so complicated in the crypto world. --- Adding full fat intestines to the rice noodles really touched my heart.

This is the true trading philosophy, not a gambler's mentality. Using 20x leverage with such a small position, I need to learn your mindset. Being satisfied just by eating rice noodles, that's how people in the crypto world should live. Like this, much better than those who go all in impulsively. Realized gains are just snack money; this ratio actually feels pretty good. But 20x is still a bit nerve-wracking, does it really not affect your sleep? I love this logic, turning numbers into delicious intestines—who wouldn't want that? Using 2U margin to open 20x leverage—that's the little happiness I want.
