People always ask me how to get started with a small amount of capital. In fact, I started the same way too—I ground my way up from a few thousand USDT. There are no shortcuts; it’s just method plus hard grind.



When your principal is small, the biggest fear is greed. Don’t think there are always opportunities every day. The steadiest approach with small capital is to wait—wait for a bout of market conditions with strong certainty, then make the move and get out. Don’t keep trying to go all-in; the market will teach you sooner or later.

When a sudden positive catalyst hits, act fast. If you don’t exit the same day, and it gaps up the next day, you still need to pull out. When news plays out, it often forms the stage high point—don’t wait until it drops and then regret it.

During periods when news is coming thick and fast, or before holidays, big volatility is likely. In this situation, it’s best to reduce positions early or even stay fully out, then wait until the direction becomes clear before entering. You avoid risk while still being able to catch opportunities.

For medium- to long-term positions, keep size light for sure. Don’t come in and just “all-in” from the start. It may look bold, but in reality it’s one move to zero. Enter lightly and in batches—leave yourself enough room to go further.

For short-term trading, there’s only one word: fast. When it’s time to enter, enter; when it’s time to exit, exit. Don’t hesitate and don’t be greedy. The market flips faster than turning a page—don’t fight the chart head-on; follow the flow. If you’re wrong on direction, admit it immediately—stop-loss is to save your life, not something to be ashamed of. A small loss is fine; carrying a big loss is what will kill you.

Lastly, one sentence: mindset is your hardest trump card. When it rises, don’t get carried away; when it falls, don’t panic. Only people who can control their emotions can make it to the end.

Making money isn’t that mystical. Find the right playbook, and even a small principal can be rolled into more. The key is whether you can control yourself. #SEC警告链上借贷或涉证券监管
