If your account is currently shrinking, don't rush to switch strategies. I suggest you first change this habit.



Many people lose money not because they can't read the market, but because they always want to win it all back in one trade. The position gets bigger, leverage gets higher, and in the end, they aren't defeated by the market, but by their own rhythm.

A few days ago, a follower came to me with only 1,500U in his account, constantly asking if there was still a chance with such a small principal.

I didn't let him gamble on high leverage, nor did I teach him any complex indicators. I only asked him to change his trading method first.

Split the 1,500U directly into 10 parts, use only 150U each time to test the direction. If the trade goes right, add more; if it goes wrong, stop loss immediately. No all-in, and definitely no averaging down on losses.

Don't use too high leverage either; around 20x is enough. Focus on risk control, not on fantasizing about doubling up in one trade.$BTC

Many people think that with a small principal they can't make money. In fact, what really prevents an account from growing is always wanting to make quick money.

Another point: don't be misled by those profit screenshots in the square. Others only show you when they make money, but rarely tell you how many times they got liquidated. So don't take others' highlights as your own benchmark.$BEAT

After all these years, my biggest takeaway is that making money has never depended on a single trade, but on a set of rules that can be executed long-term.

Control your position, do your stop loss, keep your emotions steady, and your account will naturally grow slowly.

In the end, the crypto space is not about who makes the fastest profit, but who can stay in the market.

Well said. I only learned after blowing up twice on the all-in path. Now I'd rather go slower than go to zero again.
