Many people ask me how to turn a small amount of capital into a big snowball.
A brother I recently took along turned 2000U into 38,000U in three months, relying not on miraculous operations, but on a principle:
First, think clearly about "how much can I lose at most," then consider "how much can I earn."
Most retail investors lose money because they rush in without even figuring out "how to die."
Setting stop-loss and take-profit may seem simple, but it's actually a dividing line.
Here are a few strategies I commonly use; you can just apply them directly👇
① Contract Short Difference: Keep stop-loss tight
Play with 5x leverage, aiming to earn 6~8%, with a maximum stop-loss of 3%.
With small capital and high leverage, losing just 1% could lead to a blowup.
In my ETH short difference strategy, I invest 10,000 U, cutting losses at 3% and taking profits at 6~8%.
It may seem small, but you can gain an additional 5000U in two weeks.
② Spot Mid-term: Let the trend support you
If you want to capture a 40% major wave, don’t be scared off by a 5% pullback.
Place stop-loss at previous lows and at levels like 4H MA60, which act as "life-saving lines."
Take-profit in two steps:
• Lock in half when it rises 35%
• Move the stop-profit for the remainder, exiting entirely on an 8% pullback
If you can sell at high points, you’ve outperformed 90% of people.
③ Position Size is Key
With a light position, you can sleep well even with an 8% stop-loss;
With a heavy position, a 2% stop-loss can cause panic.
Remember this: heavy positions without stop-loss are like driving at high speed without brakes.
The ultimate bottom line logic
Stop-loss is a lifesaver, take-profit is the market’s dividend.
Treat every trade as if it’s the "last trade" to think about:
👉 First, think about how to lose, how to save yourself
👉 Then, think about how to earn, how much can be earned
Opportunities are always present; without capital, a bull market has nothing to do with you. $BTC
