Let's start with a harsh truth: with less than 10,000 yuan in principal, yet spending all day pondering contracts, watching altcoins go all-in, dreaming of getting rich overnight—this is basically digging your own grave.
It's not a matter of not trying hard enough. With this little capital, you simply can't withstand the chaos. Over the years, I've seen countless newbies meet their end in almost the same way: chasing hot tips, following others' calls, unwilling to cut losses when prices fall, reluctant to sell when prices rise. In the end, they always say, "Almost turned it around." The truth is, it's not about being close; it's that the initial direction was wrong from the start.
**Small capital has only one goal: survive.**
Avoid liquidation, avoid going broke—just grow little by little. The method I’m about to share isn’t flashy, isn’t sophisticated, and might even seem a bit clumsy, but it’s perfect for curing impatience and greed. Many people rely on this, gradually turning a few thousand into hundreds of thousands.
**Step 1: When choosing coins, focus on one thing—daily trend**
Don’t get distracted by stories. No matter how innovative the technology or how positive the ecosystem, indicators are more honest than any narrative. Your role isn’t to bottom-fish; it’s to follow the trend and eat your fill. When the daily chart is above the moving average and the pattern breaks out, then it’s worth paying attention.
**Step 2: Hold with one strict rule—if the trend is up, hold; if it breaks, get out**
No explanations, no fantasies. Discipline isn’t a suggestion; it’s your bottom line for survival. Many people get wiped out because they keep saying, "Let’s wait and see."
**Step 3: For entry and exit, watch two signals—price and volume**
A breakout with high volume is the only time worth participating. Any rise without volume is fake. Plan your take profit early: sell part of your position as it rises, and if the daily chart breaks support, clear everything immediately. Selling at the peak is the luck of a few, not the norm.
**Step 4, and most importantly: if it breaks key support, get out**
Don’t wait, don’t gamble on rebounds, don’t deceive yourself. Missing the boat is painful, but holding on to a position is deadly. This rule alone determines life or death.
This method boils down to one sentence: admit you’re ordinary, and honestly earn from trends. It won’t make you rich overnight, but it will help you lose less, avoid liquidation, and prevent the market from slapping you in the face. Opportunities are endless, but those without rules will never seize them. Either follow discipline or don’t blame the market for being ruthless.

That's right, you have to be alive to make money.
---
Is ten thousand yuan still a dream of ten times? That's cool.
---
Break the daily line and run, simple and brutal but effective.
---
Discipline is easy to talk about but hard to do. I also learned the hard way after experiencing the loss of "waiting and seeing."
---
This old friend of trading volume can't be fooled; false rallies are just fake.
---
Trend is king, don't mess with those flashy things.
---
Holding a position can be deadly; missing the top at most is just frustrating.
---
Can a few thousand yuan grow to hundreds of thousands? I don't believe it, but I want to believe.
---
Stop loss, stop loss, stop loss—these are the three keywords.
---
The biggest taboo for small capital is fantasizing; just do it.

Honestly, I was the kind of person who got slapped in the face back then, and it still hurts to hear it now.
I almost got completely wiped out by a full bet, but luckily I stopped in time.
It would have been better to learn this discipline system earlier, to avoid stepping into so many pits.
The breakout with increased volume is what I value most now; before, it was all fake rallies being cut.
When the trend breaks, liquidate all positions; not fooling myself is the hardest part to do.
When I had only a few thousand yuan, I simply couldn't handle the mentality; now I understand.
Stop waiting for a rebound; that's just an excuse to find death for yourself.

It's not like there haven't been bloody lessons before, you have to burn your hand once to understand.
It sounds like nonsense, but it's really that simple—survive and you've won.
What can a 10,000 yuan account do with contracts? It deserves to be eaten up.
Stop-loss is easy to talk about, but when the price really drops, no one can do it, including me.
As long as the daily chart stays above the moving average, hold; if it breaks, run. That's the simple and brutal way to survive longer.
No matter how good the story sounds, it can't compare to a big bearish candle. I believe in that.
The phrase "wait and see" has caused many people to be buried.
An upward move without volume is just a fake-out; once you see through this, you won't get cut so harshly.
It's a bit painful to hear, but it's the truth—most people are just too greedy.
Selling in batches? Most people can't stick to such discipline.
Those who haven't been beaten down by the market will never understand the weight of these words.

It's really hitting home. I'm the kind of person who would die saying "Just a little longer."
Uh... I've heard this daily trend analysis so many times, but when it comes to critical moments, I still can't bring myself to cut losses.
It's frustrating. Small capital is the biggest test of mentality; even a slight fluctuation can make me break out in cold sweat.
This logic isn't wrong, but the problem is I simply can't be that cold-blooded.
Maybe I'm really not suited for this game.
Honestly making money from trends sounds easy, but in practice... sigh.
Every time I think the next wave will turn things around, but it always backfires.
Ultimately, discipline is key, and that's what I lack the most.
