When your account is down to only 2000U, the most dangerous thing isn’t having bad technical skills or a weak market—it’s the only three words in your head: “quickly turn it around.” $LAB


Not long ago, there was a fan who entered with 2500U. In three months, he swapped through more than twenty coins, touched a few contract trades as well, and stared at the charts every day until 2 or 3 a.m. What happened then? His account was left with 1200U. He was so busy running around that the money got less the more he rushed. I went through his transaction history, and the conclusion was very simple—not that he had bad luck, but that he opened too many positions. $TAC
Many people have a misconception that making money depends on constantly opening orders and constantly grabbing opportunities. But when you actually pull it out and look at the numbers, most profits usually come from just a few times when you truly understood something and really held on to the opportunity. The market moves 24 hours a day, but not every candlestick is worth you acting on. When you see a pump and get afraid of missing out, you end up getting caught. When you see a pullback and want to bottom-fish, you often end up getting hit on both ends.
There aren’t actually that many opportunities worth taking a heavy position. Those good news from the news side—by the time you see them, others have already been sitting in them. The moment retail rushes in, it often just happens to be the turnover moment. That’s why now, whenever I encounter anything major around the time of an event, I will proactively reduce my position size. As long as the direction hasn’t clarified, I’d rather make less money than gamble. $EVAA
One pitfall that beginners are most likely to fall into is taking too heavy a position in a single trade. With a 3000U account, he dares to jam 2500U in at once. If the direction goes wrong just once, all the hard work from half a month is for nothing. I’ve observed people who can really roll small money upward—none of them relies on going all-in. Their playbook is basically the same: start with a light position to test, add slowly when the direction is right; if the direction is wrong, leave decisively. Stop-loss isn’t something to be ashamed of—it’s the ticket that lets you stay in the game. You can tolerate a small loss; a big loss and you’re out—no debate.
In short-term trading, what you’re really competing on is execution. Get in when you should, get out when you should, don’t drag your feet, and don’t be greedy for that last little bit. Don’t get carried away when it goes up, don’t panic when it drops. When the market is good, don’t chase wildly; when the market is bad, don’t gamble wildly. The market won’t shut its doors. Miss it today, and you’ll have another chance tomorrow.
The biggest advantage of small capital is that you can “afford to lose.” Don’t play that hand away. First, honestly keep your 2000U safe. Once you’re stable, slowly grow it into 20,000U. Going slower is fine—as long as you’re still sitting at the table, you’ll always have opportunities to turn the tables.
