To be honest, when people first enter the crypto圈, very few can resist the temptation of the words “get rich quick.”
I’m the same. At the beginning, I only had a few hundred U. You could call it a lot or a little—it wasn’t enough to really play around. But by relying on that small amount of principal, I managed to grow all the way to my current account size in the hundred-times range.
Before, when I traded, my first reaction was: “How much can I make on this trade?”
Later, it gradually became: “Is this trade actually necessary?”
It was this shift that completely changed my trading logic. In the 1000U stage, I wasn’t thinking about quickly doubling my money. Instead, I focused on training my execution. I split my principal into several parts, and each time I only used a fixed amount of funds to participate. No full allocation, no all-in. Because I know the biggest advantage of a small capital base isn’t that you can make money faster—it’s that you can still withstand mistakes. Once the account gradually grows, I adjust my strategy. When the capital reaches a certain size, I stop trying to trade every day and instead wait for setups with higher certainty. When the trend is clear, then I consider increasing position size. If there’s no opportunity, I stay in cash.
Many people think staying in cash is a waste of time. But actually, waiting is also part of trading.
Later, when my account reached a bigger stage, I added another rule: periodically withdraw part of the profits. Not because I don’t believe in the market, but to remind myself that the numbers in the account don’t equal the money you truly own. @币神— $HEI
