Many people once they enter the coin trading circle think about nothing but getting rich overnight. To be honest, if you really want to build your account slowly, the biggest taboo is jumping in with a reckless spree of gambling.

When I first started, I only had a few thousand USDT—just a regular retail trader. Later, my account size grew gradually. Looking back, I’ve never been thinking every day about how much I can make from this round. Instead, I care more about one question: is this market move truly worth participating in?

Over the years, I’ve consistently valued three stages more than anything.

At the beginning, the most important thing is position control and practice. Don’t dump all your few thousand USDT into a single trade. Split it into several portions—take only a small part each time to test the trade. At the same time, figure out your stop-loss and take-profit in advance. If you don’t understand the market, don’t trade. If it’s rising too fast, don’t chase. If you get the direction wrong, cut losses in time. And under no circumstances should you gamble against the trend just to try to win back one losing trade.

Once the account gradually starts showing profits, then consider how to use those profits to improve capital efficiency. You can adjust your position size gradually based on your account scale and your own trading ability. As the trend becomes clear, participate in batches—not because you see an opportunity and rush in with a heavy position. What you can truly hold is usually the middle part of the trend. $HEMI

When the account reaches a certain size, I actually care even more about taking profits. Periodically withdraw part of the gains—not because I’m afraid the market will keep rising, but to remind myself that the numbers in the account are ultimately just numbers. Only after you’ve truly locked in profits will your mindset stay steady instead of swinging with every day’s ups and downs.

Many people get liquidated not because they completely can’t understand the direction, but because their position is too large and they don’t have a stop-loss. They might have judged correctly, but in the end they end up giving up both the profit and the principal because they keep holding through adversity.

There was a fan who started with 900 USDT and slowly grew it to 18,000 USDT. A few days ago, for the first time, he withdrew his profits. He was so excited he was chatting with me late at night. Watching how he went from being impatient at the start to later being willing to control his position size and trade according to rules—this change is, in fact, what makes me happier than just seeing his account numbers grow by how much.

In this market, earning money is obviously important. But what’s truly hard is being able to keep it after you’ve earned it. #标普500涨0.7%科技板块涨3.3%
