Speaking of which, you might not believe it—two years ago, a friend entered the market with just over 1,000 yuan, and five months later, his account grew to over 30,000. No liquidation, no high leverage trading, everything was based on the most fundamental trading discipline.
Many people think that having too little capital is boring, but this guy's experience shows us: less capital can actually be an advantage because you have to be more cautious, and every step must be carefully calculated.
**The first key: The less money you have, the more you should diversify**
1,000 yuan is your entire wealth. Instead of going all-in on one direction, it’s better to split it into three parts:
The first 500 yuan is the "Quick Knife." Focus on mainstream coins like BTC and ETH, only do intraday fluctuations, aim for 3-5% profit and then exit, never hold overnight positions. The goal of this part is frequent profits, accumulating small wins.
The middle 300 yuan is the "Sniper." Wait for clear swing trade opportunities, hold positions for 3 to 5 days, and just take the middle gains. Don’t be greedy to chase the fish head (buy at the lowest point) or the fish tail (sell at the highest point), most people get caught here.
The remaining 200 yuan is the "Insurance." Never touch this part. It’s not just money; it’s your hope to bounce back after your account is wiped out.
While others are all-in on a certain moment, you participate in different cycles. As long as you keep this mindset, you’ll still have a chance when the next bull market arrives.
**The second key: Take profit and stop loss with rules**
80% of the market time is sideways consolidation, frequent trading just pays transaction fees to the exchange.
No opportunity seen? Just wait. Sitting on the sidelines and watching the show is also a form of trading.
But once an opportunity appears, strike fiercely like you’ve been hungry for three days. Enter with the goal of grabbing 15% profit, then immediately take half off, and let the remaining run with the trend. This guy’s doubling is accumulated step by step with "steady, precise, ruthless" trades.
**The third key: Iron discipline**
A single loss must not exceed 2% of the account. When it’s time, cut it off—don’t ask "Will it come back?"
As soon as profits exceed 4%, withdraw half of the principal immediately, lock in the gains, and continue to gamble with the remaining profit.
During losses, avoid adding positions. Any excuse like "averaging down" is just fooling yourself.
You don’t need to judge the market direction every time, but you must execute the correct operation every time. Making money, in essence, is about repeating the right actions until they become habits, until they form muscle memory.
The dawn has already broken through. The only thing left is to choose: continue to grope in the dark, or follow this rhythm?
