If your horizons are broad, even mountains and rivers will welcome you; if you are thriving, a worthy partner will want to stand by your side. Lately, a lot of friends have been asking me: Can you trade with a small amount of capital?
Honestly, most people don’t come from wealthy families—we’re just ordinary folks. Take Xiao Jiang, one of my biggest female fans, who put her 30,000 U to work trading. People like her are rare: she hasn’t even graduated from college, yet has over a million to her name, and her parents are well-known local entrepreneurs. She trades crypto purely as a hobby.
I come from humble beginnings myself. I worked my way up, trade by trade, starting with just a few hundred U. There was never one trade that suddenly changed my life. Most of the time, I just kept trading one position at a time: the account would grow a little, then pull back a little, before climbing again. Eventually, I realized that the biggest danger for small accounts is having too many strategies. One day you’re studying MACD, the next you’re switching to moving averages; then you see someone making money on altcoins and start chasing the latest trend. After all that, you can’t even explain why you’re making or losing money.
So I eventually simplified things as much as possible.
I only trade major coins, focus mainly on the daily chart, and don’t try to predict every little fluctuation. I use roughly 10% of my capital per trade and keep each trade’s stop loss to around 1.5%. Once my account doubles, I take some profits off the table. The rest is honestly pretty boring. If there’s no signal, I wait. If the setup isn’t good, I walk away. Even if the market suddenly surges, I won’t chase it unless my conditions are met.
Many people think sticking it out means refusing to accept a loss and holding on because they’re convinced they’ll win eventually.
That’s not what I mean at all. I mean that the market can change, but as long as this strategy is still working, I won’t switch things up just because of a few short-term wins or losses. Losing three trades in a row doesn’t mean you need to change your system right away. Winning five in a row doesn’t mean you should suddenly multiply your position size. And I don’t get jealous when I see someone make more in a day than I make in a month. The hardest thing about trading with a small account is resisting that kind of comparison. Your strategy determines which direction you go; after that, just don’t change course every few steps.
If you’ve been going it alone in crypto, feeling your way in the dark and losing money along the way, follow @渔歌趋势 and let’s talk. Choosing the right path matters more than working hard. Are you ready?
