I remember when I first entered the crypto space, I had only 200U in my pocket. Back then, I fantasized that if this small amount could multiply dozens of times, I would turn my life around, right? But in the first week, I got liquidated three times, and my account was down to 80U.
Later, I realized one thing: if you don't even know how to survive, you can't talk about making money.
1. First, practice with small money, don't gamble with your life
I split the 80U into 4 portions, using only 20U each time. If you lose this trade, there's still the next one, avoiding going to zero all at once. Keep positions extremely small, cut losses immediately when wrong, and don't be greedy when right—take profits small and first learn to execute consistently.
2. Accept losses, don't revenge the market
Small capital getting stopped out is normal; the key is not to think about making it back on the next trade. The more impatient you are, the easier it is to chain losses, and once the rhythm is off, it's hard to come back.
3. Rhythm is more important than returns
Going from 80U to 200U wasn't about some single big win, but slowly pushing trade by trade. Only take trades you understand; don't chase highs or hold losing positions. Once you profit, take it.
4. As capital grows, tighten risk control
When the account grows to a few hundred U, it's easy to get overconfident. The more money you have, the more you need to diversify positions, only risking a small portion per trade to ensure a loss doesn't hurt the foundation.
5. In the end, it's all about execution
When to stop loss without hesitation, when to take profit without greed, when to stay in cash without touching the keyboard—this is where the dividing line lies.
At the end of the day, the logic for small and large capital is the same: it's not about betting on the market, but training yourself to survive. Only those who can stay in the game long-term have a chance to turn things around$GT
