'No matter how small the principal, you can still be steady and secure'—I have said this for 8 years, but most people only hear 'secure' and forget 'steady.'
Last week, another old fan shared a purchase, rolling 500U private money to 30,000U, and the comment section exploded with requests for help. But very few people ask why he survived the crash of 2022, while more people couldn't even hold onto 500U?
The answer is simple: the crypto world is a jungle, and small capital is not a seed, but a spark. You must learn to shield yourself from the wind before thinking about spreading the fire.
1. Diversification: Your 'winter grain warehouse' cannot be left with just one pocket.
My first lesson for newcomers is always about sharing profits. 'Those who go all in have already changed their headstones several times.'
Short-term position (30%): Only trade BTC/ETH, take profits immediately if it fluctuates more than 3%, don't fall in love with the market.
Swing position (50%): Wait for the daily line's volume to break before making a move, like a hunter lying in wait; if no position is opened in 5 days, retreat.
Rescue fund (20%): Even if BTC drops below the floor price, this money cannot be touched - it is your chip for the next time you sit at the table.
'When Akai started with 800U, I locked his account for three months, forcing him to practice position splitting. Later, he turned it into 30 times, not because he caught a hundredfold coin, but because when a bear market came, he still had bullets to buy at the bottom.'
2. Follow the trend? First, learn to distinguish between a 'true breakout' and a 'false climax'.
The market spends 70% of its time wearing people down; frequent trading is just working for the exchanges. My iron rule: open a position only after confirming with dual signals.
Technical aspect: 15-minute K-line continuous volume + daily MACD golden cross, both are essential.
Emotional aspect: Keep quiet and watch when major communities are FOMOing, wait for the heat to fade before looking for lower points.
Withdraw half of the profit once it exceeds 12%, set a trailing stop for the rest. 'Earning less is better than losing money, being a step slower is better than standing guard.'
3. Locking in capital is harder than locking in profits.
The biggest enemy of retail investors is themselves in front of the screen. My rule for fans:
Single loss over 2%: automatic liquidation, close the software and go for a walk.
Profit reaching 4%: first close half, let the remaining profit ride on the trend.
Never add to a losing position: Don't fantasize about a 'pullback', the market will slap you in the face, but discipline can save your life.
'Last year, a fan held a position, losing 500U down to 50U before he came to me in tears. I asked him: If he had stopped after losing 2% the first time, he could still have 400U to make a comeback, would he regret it? He was silent.'
The last piece of heartfelt advice.
Someone asked me: 'Can a small capital turn things around?'
Yes, but the premise is to let go of the obsession with 'turning things around'. I have seen too many people treat 500U as a gamble, but few treat it as kindling. The fairest thing in the crypto world: the market does not care about the size of your capital, only the depth of your discipline.
It's been 8 years, and my light is still shining. But you must first learn to survive in the dark; the light will then find you.
