"In the market, emotion is a cost, discipline is an asset."
I have seen too many people rush into the cryptocurrency world with a few thousand dollars, filled with the fantasy of "doubling their investment," only to see their accounts go to zero in less than half a month.
Until I met her, I used a "foolish method" tested with real money, allowing a newcomer to grow a 3000U principal to 68,000U in 4 months, all without liquidation.
Survival > quick money: Three portions of capital to manage
I forced her to split the 3000U into three parts, each with its own role:
1000U for day trading: take profit at 5% and exit, refusing to hold onto losing positions;
1000U for swing trading: only trade when the trend is clear, focusing on the most stable segment;
1000U as a safety net: even if the first two portions are lost, there is still capital to recover.
At first, she was envious of others going all in, but after a round of volatility, those fully invested ended up flat.
Because she strictly divided her capital, she not only withstood the fluctuations but also captured the subsequent trends.
Rules are lifelines, not decorations
Stop-loss iron rule: cut losses immediately if a single loss reaches 10%, do not hold positions or fantasize;
Take-profit discipline: withdraw half of the principal when profit reaches 20%, set the profit at the break-even point for further bets;
Prohibiting averaging down: adding to losing positions is gambler behavior, which only amplifies risks.
In one of her best moments, she made a single profit of 5000U, and at midnight, she trembled while sending a voice message: "Turns out you can make big money without liquidation."
The core of turning small capital around: combating emotional inertia
Restraining greed: while others flaunt their doubled screenshots, she insists on trading only once a day;
Staying calm in fear: after a crash, she does not rush to bottom fish but waits for stabilization before taking action;
Making reviewing a habit: spend 30 minutes daily summarizing: why did I profit/loss? What are the key levels for tomorrow?
The harsh truth in the cryptocurrency world is: 90% of people lose by "thinking they can get lucky." When you replace impulse with rules, the market transforms from a casino to an ATM. Slow down to ensure stability for a lifetime.
The market is already brewing, don’t wander around in the dark alone.
If you are willing, Sister Bing will help you reach the shore!
