Many people jump into the market with a few hundred U, full of thoughts of 'a big turnaround', but end up getting wiped out by the market in less than two weeks. I've seen too many of these stories, but I want to tell you: a small capital is not a sin, greed and panic are. The strategy I'm sharing today is the core logic that helped me grow from 8000U to where I am today, suitable for every trader who wants to survive longer.
1. Divide the money into three parts, first learn to 'survive'.
The newbie I mentored started with 1200U, but I made him do the first thing not to open a trade, but to share the money.
400U day trading - focus on just 1 trade each day, target 3%-5%, cash out immediately and walk away, refuse to get attached.
400U segment layout — wait for a daily level breakthrough of resistance or a drop below support, with stop-loss to capture 10%+ market movements, do not engage in 'oscillation consumption'.
400U permanent lock-up — this money is the 'revival coin', even if the market goes crazy, it will never be used, preventing impulsive bets that cut off the exit.
The logic is simple: the market always has opportunities, but if the principal is gone, it's really gone. Diversifying positions is not to earn more but to stay at the table when making mistakes.
Two, 80% of the market is junk time, moving around is equivalent to giving away money.
If BTC moves sideways for more than 3 days, I will close the software and watch dramas — because frequent trading in a sideways market is purely giving trading fees to the exchanges. There are only two signals really worth acting on:
Breakout of the box with increased volume (for example, BTC suddenly rises by 5%+ and the trading volume doubles);
Stabilize above the 30-day EMA (a sign of trend confirmation).
After making profits exceeding 20% of the principal, I will immediately withdraw 30% to a cold wallet. This is not cowardice, but locking in profits to prevent drawdowns. Remember: the market lacks opportunities, not money left in the market.
Three, strict rules to lock emotions, refuse impulsive changes.
Before each position, I write three lines in my notebook:
Stop-loss at 2% — must cut at the line, don't hold on to hope (the starting point of liquidation is always 'wait for a rebound');
Realize a 4% profit by closing half the position — set a trailing stop for the remaining half to let profits run;
Do not increase positions on losing days — averaging down is accelerating suicide, stop and review before losing money.
The core of this rule is to counter human nature: when profitable, we always want to be greedy, and when losing, we always want to gamble it back. But trading is a probability game, and discipline is more important than talent.
The last bit of sincere advice.
Many people ask me: 'Sister Yi, how can you lead people to roll up to 38,000 U without liquidation?'
My answer is just one sentence: slow is fast, stability leads to growth.
Don't envy those KOLs who show 'doubling overnight' — MIT research shows that 68% of the popular coins on Twitter halve in a month;
Don't anxiously increase positions when losing — data shows that 92% of high-frequency traders lose money;
Having a small principal is not the problem; being eager to get rich quick is.
If you're still losing sleep over fluctuations of dozens of U, first master these three tools. The light is already on here, whether to follow or not, you decide.
