Last week, late at night, I was digging through trade records on the exchange backend and came across a screenshot of my account from when I first entered the market in 2019. At that time, I had scraped together only 972U, couldn't even make it to a full 1000U.

At 3 AM yesterday, a young guy who had just added me as a friend kept sending seven or eight messages shouting, "Bro Jie, I just scraped together 1200U. Give me a precise trade signal, I'm going all-in, and this week I'll turn it into five times and withdraw to buy a car."

At that moment, I stared at the screen, smoked half a cigarette, and didn't give him a signal directly. Instead, I showed him my old record of that 972U from back then — I was even crazier than him at that time. On the third day after entering the market, I dared to go all-in with 10x leverage, and then in the middle of the night, a single wick took me down to 187U, almost not enough to cover the fees.

Later, squatting in my rented room and eating instant noodles for three days, I finally realized that the dumbest thing you can do with a small amount of capital is to treat every last bullet you have like a lottery ticket. Always thinking one trade will turn things around in a few days, but in the end you don't even get to warm your seat at the poker table before you're kicked out. $ETH

Later, I split the remaining money into ten parts, each less than 20U. Each time I test a position, I use just one part, with leverage no more than 3x. If the direction is right, I ride the trend and slowly roll profit. If the direction is wrong, I cut it immediately without even half a second of hesitation.

After all this time trading, I've seen too many brothers who don't fail because they can't read the market, but because their hands are too itchy. When they win, they want to pocket every last penny; when they lose, they get red-eyed and want to recover immediately. After two consecutive losses, their mentality collapses, and every trade after that is an irrational emotional trade that quickly wipes out the capital.

Over the years, I have set several iron rules for the brothers around me who trade with small capital: Before entering a trade, engrave the stop-loss level on the edge of your screen — when it hits, exit immediately without a second's delay; when floating profit reaches 20%, first withdraw your principal, then let the remaining profit run freely; if you lose three times in a row, close the software, go downstairs and run three laps. If you dare to open another trade, send me a red packet directly. #币圈暴富 $BTC

Opportunities in the market come every day — it's not about this one trade. Rolling 1000U into 10000U has never been about some magical winning trade; it's about dozens of small wins and almost no big losses, stacking up little by little. First, protect your principal. Only by staying at the table can you wait for the big wave that truly belongs to you. #币圈老玩家真心话
