Don't rush to go all in when you just enter the circle, first take 50U to buy an 'experience package'.
Last autumn, my cousin Ahao rushed in with 3000U living expenses. On the first day, he saw someone posting a profit of 'PEPE +200% overnight' and immediately followed with 500U. As a result, the opening price dropped by 30%, and he cried in the middle of the night asking me if he should cut his losses.
I didn't comfort him, just gave him 50U and three 'beginner's stop-loss bands'—three months later, he rolled that 50U into 400U, while the initial 500U tuition was never made up.
① First take a 'toy account' to test the waters.
On-chain data: the new address had an average of 22 transactions in 30 days, with a win rate of 38%; the transaction fees had already eaten away 8% of the principal.
I had him treat the 50U as a demo account, only opening 2U each time, taking profits at 15% or cutting losses at 10% must close the position, and only after completing 30 trades could we talk about increasing the position.
In the first 10 trades, he lost 6U, but developed the muscle memory of 'setting stop-loss before sleeping', which is more valuable than doubling the amount.
② Adjust the pace to 0.5x speed.
Beginners update daily K-lines, while experts only look at key points.
On December 9, I had him monitor ETH, and he absolutely wouldn’t open a position unless the daily line broke above the previous high of 3.28k; as a result, the volume shrank for three consecutive days.
He didn't make a single trade, and on the fourth day, when the volume broke out, he increased his 'toy account' to 5U, took 4% profit, and only traded once a day, instantly raising his win rate to 70%.
③ Don't put all your eggs in one chain.
Besides short-term trading, I had him withdraw 30% of his weekly profits to explore new DeFi pools: at the beginning of December, stETH/ETH LP had an annualized return of 6%.
No minting risk, in ten days he made 0.8U interest for free; he also buried the 50U profit into ARB lock-up airdrop, expecting TGE to cash out 100U+.
Short-term + ecology + airdrop, three legs walking, he no longer stares at the market while sleeping.
Newcomers should avoid 'trying to defy the odds right from the start'.
First, use 50U to buy an experience package, get the process right, and then talk about going all in. The rewards in the crypto circle are not for being diligent, but for being patient.
