People with not much principal—especially those within tens of thousands—often find that just one wrong bet can force them to exit.
I have seen too many such scenarios: entering with a few thousand U, chasing news every day, following trends, listening to recommendations. Buying in fully when the price rises just a little, panicking when it drops a bit. Three days of impulse, five days of clarity, and in less than ten days the account is back to zero.
I have been like this myself. When I had 20,000 U, I always thought I could double it with just a few casual operations. The result was blindly chasing gains, haphazardly adding positions, stubbornly holding losses, and my funds shrank all the way. It wasn't until I calmed down later, reorganized my rhythm, and set three “safety lines” for myself that I truly broke out of the cycle of being repeatedly trapped.
First line: Position sizing must be restrained
No matter how good the opportunity, do not go in fully. Leave some room to be flexible. Increase your position when the market is clear, and reduce it when the trend is unstable—never let a single trade dictate your entire principal.
Second line: Stop-loss and take profit, discipline first
Do not stubbornly hold onto losses, and do not be greedy with profits. Many people hesitate to exit when in floating profit, always wanting “just a little more,” resulting in profit being given back or even turning into a loss. Executing according to plan is the key to long-term survival of the account.
Third line: Do not touch coins you do not understand
Others' recommendations, group hype, video embellishments—80% are traps. If you do not understand what this coin does or where the risks lie, do not enter the market. It’s better to miss out than to make a mistake.
Market volatility is the norm; sudden spikes and drops happen all the time. If you are anxious, you will be led astray by the rhythm; if you remain calm and steady, you can keep your own pace.
Preserve your small principal; that is the foundation for future growth opportunities; maintain trading discipline, so you won’t be prematurely expelled by the market.
Do not always fantasize about instant success; first, lay a solid foundation. The market is always there; as long as you can stay clear-headed and stick to the rules.
These three safety lines will help you slowly transition from a novice to stability—not relying on luck but on a system.
Keep up with the rhythm. I cannot promise to make you rich overnight, but we can certainly walk steadily and earn clearly together.
