I understand the pain of losing half a month's salary just three days after entering the circle. The cryptocurrency market has never been a place to pick up money; it is a brutal selection field. Many beginners with little capital are always afraid of missing opportunities, chasing trends every day, and daring to invest their entire savings in popular coins with just a few thousand yuan. The result is often excitement during price increases and panic during declines, and within a few days, the account hits rock bottom.
I once entered the market with 20,000 yuan, frequently chasing trends and misusing leverage, quickly losing more than half and almost despairing while leaving. This experience made me realize that survival in this market is far more important than short-term profits. I summarized three core principles to help me grow my capital to 100,000 U in four months.
First, never go all in. No matter how good the opportunity is, the initial investment should not exceed 30% of the total capital. When the market was low last year, I only used 30% of my capital to test the waters and only increased my position in batches after confirming the trend. This allows you to seize opportunities while always keeping an exit route. Remember, the market is not lacking opportunities; what is lacking is the capital to wait for them.
Second, strictly set profit-taking and stop-loss points. Greed once made me give back profits and turn into losses. Now, I have set a strict rule: a single loss should not exceed 4%, and when profits reach 8%-12%, exit decisively. Sometimes I might miss subsequent gains, but only realized profits are real.
Finally, never invest in projects that you do not understand. No matter how others promote them, if I cannot understand their white papers, team background, or practical applications, I will resolutely not participate. I would rather miss ten opportunities than fall into one trap; this is the bottom line for protecting my capital.
In these four months, I made fifty-six trades. The key to success is not capturing every fluctuation but calmly following the trend when the market is clear and patiently waiting during fluctuations. For beginners, the primary goal is to learn to survive, not to become rich overnight. There will always be new opportunities in the market, but the premise is that your account still exists.
