#BinanceABCs Destroying a trader has never been about the market itself, but about out-of-control chip allocation.
Too many newcomers, just a few weeks into trading, dare to go all-in with only ten thousand in their wallets. Once the market rises by two percent, they start dreaming; when it falls, they panic and cut losses. The whole process is like rolling dice—completely based on mood. I’ve also gone through this crazy phase, making money quickly, but losing even faster.
Interestingly, my judgment direction is often correct; the problem is that the money in my account just can’t stay put. I later realized that to survive long-term in this market, you don’t necessarily need the most explosive gains, but the ability to withstand drawdowns and not get broken.
After realizing this, I changed my entire trading philosophy: let the capital grow steadily.
What exactly do I do?
Start each operation with small trials to confirm the direction, then gradually increase the position;
If I judge incorrectly, I cut losses immediately and never stubbornly hold on out of anger.
This approach may not sound exciting, but the account balance slowly rises, and my mindset becomes increasingly stable. Some say I’m too conservative, but I know very well that this stability is earned through countless lessons from blow-ups.
When there’s no good opportunity, I’m willing to stay out of the market and observe for a week; once the rhythm is right, I can decisively place bets and ride a strong trend. I don’t rely on luck; I depend entirely on chip allocation and operational rhythm.
Honestly, most traders fail not because they are overwhelmed by the market, but because they fall into greed and self-deception. To turn things around, the first step is to break the habit of heavy positions and not gamble with living capital.
Opportunities are never lacking, but you must live long enough to seize them. Slowing down is nothing to be ashamed of; as long as the big picture is correct and the operation rhythm is stable, wealth will grow naturally. $BEAT

Really, what happened to those people who went all-in later on? I've never seen any of them make it to now.

You're so right. I used to risk ten thousand dollars for ten thousand times leverage, and ended up liquidated to the point of doubting life. Now I realize that staying alive is a hundred times more important than making money.

Those who heavily leverage will eventually have to pay tuition fees, no exceptions.
---
It sounds very motivational, but it really works. I've tried it, and my account has become much more stable.
---
Wait, are you saying that staying out of the market for a week can still catch a full wave? How do you judge the rhythm? Tell me.
---
This theory has no flaws; it's just that too few people stick with it. Most still want to get rich overnight.
---
Breaking the habit of heavy leverage is simple, but truly overcoming the mental demons requires experiencing several liquidations.

Positioning of chips is indeed an invisible knife; many people haven't even thought about this.

Exactly right, I'm the kind of idiot who goes all-in with ten thousand bucks, only to realize after blowing up twice... Now I'm honestly doing trial trades.

I've also played the full leverage setup, which is the kind of pain you learn with real money. Looking back, I realize I was really reckless back then, and it still gives me chills.
---
But honestly, the small-scale trial trading sounds a bit boring, but the account is indeed growing, which is incredible.
---
You only understand what margin management is after experiencing a margin call, right?
---
Conservative? I stopped caring about what others say a long time ago. Living is the prerequisite for making money, and most people just can't understand that.
---
Those who rely on luck are already dead; the rest are just figuring out the rhythm.

That hit too close to home. I'm the kind of fool who goes all-in with just ten thousand yuan, and now my account has already returned to before liberation.
