#数字资产动态追踪 Small funds are not as hard to turn around as you might think
I've seen many people start with just 3000 yuan, 3000 USDT, dreaming of a big move to turn the tide. But in reality? Most can't withstand the first month and end up liquidating and running away.
But I want to be honest—small funds can indeed grow, the key is how you do it. I started from around 3000U and gradually accumulated to over 300,000. There’s nothing magical about this process; it’s just about mastering two crucial phases.
**Phase One: Staying Alive Is More Important Than Making Money (1-3 months)**
During this period, my mindset was very clear: don’t aim for big profits, but absolutely must not blow up.
How did I do it? Basically, a few points:
First, follow the trend. When a sector in the market is hot, or certain coins break through resistance or test support, I jump in. Quick in and out is normal; grabbing 5%-10% profit and cashing out immediately—that’s enough. Don’t be greedy, really.
Second, stop-loss must be strict. Before opening any position, set a stop-loss point, and it must not exceed 5% of the principal. If you’re wrong, accept it. Forget about holding and hoping for a turnaround—that’s a mindset to delete early on.
Third, take out a portion of the profits. Whenever the account profit reaches 10% of the principal, I withdraw some. What’s the benefit? Peace of mind. The principal keeps growing, and the psychological risk pressure is reduced.
After about three months of this, 3000U slowly grew to over 5000U. It’s not a huge amount, but for the next phase, it’s a lot more “ammunition.”
**Phase Two: Change Your Mindset, Let Compound Growth Run (1-4 years)**
Once the funds are a bit more substantial, the approach must change completely. Stop short-term fighting; switch to riding trend moves and relying on compound growth.
My position allocation looks like this:
50% to follow the trend. As long as the main trend is confirmed (for example, mainstream coins breaking key resistance levels, moving averages turning bullish), I jump on. This part benefits from the trend.
30% for long-term holding. Pick major coins like $BTC, $ETH to build a base position. When prices dip, add gradually; when they rise, reduce gradually—no need perfect timing, but able to catch big moves.
20% reserved for flexibility. The market always throws black swan opportunities. This portion is for bottom-fishing or chasing those surprising rebounds. But each trade doesn’t exceed 10% of the principal, keeping risk manageable.
The core logic of this phase is actually very simple: move less, hold more. When a big trend arrives, a wave of movement can double your money. I’ve seen too many people lose profits because of frequent trading.
**Final Rambling**
Why do so many people fail in the first phase? It’s not that the market has no opportunities, but that everyone wants to skip the first phase and take shortcuts. That simply doesn’t exist.
My experience is: small funds survive through discipline; large funds grow through patience.
If you’re truly willing to split the story of 3000U into two parts, and walk through two phases, when the next bull market arrives, you won’t be a beginner anymore—you’ll be a passenger on the train. The difference is that big.
