On the day the account was left with only 100U, the cigarette box was emptier than the K-line. The lighter spun in my palm for seventeen circles, the flame didn't light the cigarette, but burned through the last bit of luck—if I lose this time, I will completely bid farewell to the crypto world.
Three months later, when the balance jumped to 8000U, I finally understood: a small capital comeback is never a game of luck at the gambling table, but a respect for treating 100U as 1 million to trade. The first cut: cut off greed; surviving is the only qualification to talk about how to use 100U. I divided it into 5 parts like dividing lifesaving money, and each time I only moved 20U with 5 times leverage. Before opening a position, I calculated my stop loss: a single loss must not exceed 3U. Even if I made five mistakes in a row, the account could still remain at 85U— the survival qualification of small capital is a hundred times more precious than temporary profits.
I have seen too many people go all-in with 100U, and a single fluctuation brings it to zero. I stubbornly stick with ETH, not for anything else, but it always has the basis for a rebound even if it drops. In the past two weeks, I only made three trades, with two profits and one loss, bringing me to 112U, enough to buy two packs of cigarettes— this is the first candy the market gives to those with patience. The second cut: like a crocodile watching a water buffalo, wait for the signal to bite and never let go. The day I changed my phone wallpaper to a crocodile, I kicked the habit of making random trades. What small capital lacks the most is not opportunities but the patience to endure. I stared at the 4-hour chart of ETH for a full five days until the signal of 'divergence at the bottom + a strong green candle' came crashing in, before daring to put in 20U.
With 5 times leverage, I set the stop loss 3 points below the entry price. That day at 4 AM, when profits floated to 12U, I decisively closed my position. When the capital broke 130U, I found that 80% of people in the community were chasing shorts— the market always punishes those eager to send money. The third cut: use profits as bullets; when my capital locked in the 'safety chamber' earned 200U, I drew a line of life and death: the capital of 100U is forever locked, and I only use profits to gamble. If I earn 50U, I take 20U to increase my position, leaving 30U as a 'safety cushion.' This trick allowed me to remain above 150U even after three stop losses.
Once, when ETH surged to 400U in floating profit, just as I was eager to go all-in, the embarrassment of having only 100U suddenly slammed into my mind. Gritting my teeth, I closed half; half an hour later, it indeed plummeted, and the remaining position closed near the breakeven line— I couldn't get past the greed barrier; no matter how much I earned, it was just a temporary number stored by the market. The fourth cut: get up at 3 AM, and the retail traders who pick up what the main players miss will live longer. Playing into the second month, I discovered that the main players love to ambush from 3 to 5 AM. When retail traders are fast asleep, the K-line is more likely to produce real signals. I set an alarm clock, every day at this time, I brew a cup of strong tea and watch the market, like a hunter guarding a trap.
After ETH consolidated on the 1-hour chart for 7 days, it suddenly broke out with volume in the early morning. I opened a position with 50U, this time daring to increase it to 10 times leverage— the pattern was so standard that the stop loss was clearly visible. After 18 hours, I made a profit of 230U, and when the balance broke a thousand, the sky outside just began to lighten. The fifth cut: withdraw to save your life! No matter how much floating profit there is, until it reaches the bank card, it is all just temporarily stored by the market. At every whole number threshold, I must withdraw 30% to the spot account: withdraw 300U from 1000U, 600U from 2000U, and 1500U from 5000U. Some people laugh at me for having a small mindset? But I have seen too many tragedies of falling from 10,000U back to three digits. The money in the crypto world, if not withdrawn to the bank card, is all borrowed from the market.
During the week I sprinted to 8000U, my floating profit once surged to 9200U, and according to the rules, I withdrew 2700U, leaving the remaining 6500U to continue rolling. Later, when it pulled back to 7800U, closing for safety is the real gold and silver.
Now the account stabilizes above 8000U; looking back, what miracles are there? It's just that I have honed these five cuts of 'cut greed, wait for signals, use profits, seize opportunities, and know how to withdraw' thousands of times in the K-line.
