Want to turn a small amount of money into a big snowball? These hard-earned experiences will save you three years of detours!
Countless people ask me: with a few hundred or a few thousand U as capital, how can we carve out a path in the cryptocurrency market?
The answer is simple: first learn to 'afford to lose,' then consider 'how much to win.'
90% of retail investors lose money, not because their skills are lacking, but because they are defeated by the impulse of 'going all in is thrilling, liquidation is a funeral.'
Those who can truly survive in the market are the ones who regard stop-loss as breathing and take profit as a habit.
【Contract Short Play - Precise Harvesting Under 5x Leverage】
When playing short-term contracts, remember a hard rule: leverage should not exceed 5 times, target profit 6%-8%, and stop-loss should decisively not exceed 3%.
Why? Small capital cannot withstand any wave of reverse spikes!
Practical case: I used 10,000 U for ETH short-term, decisively cut losses after losing 300 U, and immediately took profits of 600-800 U.
Don't despise thin profits! With continuous execution for two weeks, the account steadily grows by 30%-50%. The real secret of short-term trading is not in large profits, but in 'slowly cutting with a hundred knives'—accumulating small victories into a big snowball with high frequency.
Medium-term Spot - Using Fluctuations to Exchange for 40% Main Uptrend
To achieve over 40% medium-term profits, you must endure 5%-10% of ups and downs.
· Set stop-loss at key defense lines: previous low support or 4-hour MA60, exit immediately if it breaks
· Take profit in two steps: when the increase is 30%-35%, first sell half to lock in profits; for the remaining position, set a trailing stop-loss, clearing all if it retracts by 8%
Remember: no one can sell at the highest point, but with this strategy, you will always sell at the second-highest point! $ETH
【Position Management - Determines How Well You Sleep at Night】
With the same capital of 10,000 U, operating in three parts versus going all in are two different lives.
When lightly positioned, a stop-loss of 8% still allows for sound sleep; when heavily positioned, a floating loss of 2% makes one panic.
A painful lesson: not stopping losses when heavily positioned is like dismantling brakes at high speed—feels good at the time, but when something goes wrong, it’s directly fatal.
Stop-loss is not admitting defeat; it’s insurance for your account; taking profit is not the end; it’s a form of interim dividends.
Before placing an order, ask yourself: how much can I lose on this trade at most? Rather than fantasizing about how much I can earn.
The market always has opportunities, but capital does not come back.
Most people fall into a cycle of losses, not due to insufficient effort, but because they lack a truly suitable trading system for small capital.
