Many people in the cryptocurrency circle are eager to turn their fortunes around, but the more anxious they get, the more chaotic it becomes. They open trades like playing Whac-A-Mole, and in the end, they either face liquidation or their mindset shatters.
In fact, turning your fortunes around comes down to two words: risk management + timing. It may seem simple, but very few actually achieve it.
How to manage risk?
Take my often-mentioned 'thirds method' as an example.
Even if you only have 800 USDT, don’t invest it all at once.
Start with one-third for the first trade, and hold onto the rest tightly.
If there are no signals in the market, don’t add positions randomly, and don’t try to catch the bottom when prices drop. If you incur losses, don’t stubbornly hold onto it. With limited capital, you must treat it as if it were your life.
What do we mean by timing?
Trading is like shooting; you need to aim before pulling the trigger.
Break down a trend into three parts: take a bite when it starts, take another bite during a pullback, and take a final bite when it continues.
What about during volatility?
The best action is to close the software and do nothing.
As for rolling over positions, the core idea is to let profits generate more profits.
For instance, if your first trade earns you 100 USDT, then that 100 USDT becomes your new ammunition for the next round. Keep your capital intact, and never let your position exceed 30% of your total funds.
A snowball grows bit by bit; it relies not on a single bet but on steady progress.
Always remember: when the market is the hottest, it is often the time to pull back.
While others chase the highs until they explode, we take profits and exit; while others suffer painful losses, we enter slowly following the rhythm.
If you want to turn your capital around, it’s not through gambling, but by compounding little by little.
This strategy is particularly suitable for small-cap players; the smaller the capital, the more important it is to focus on timing.
Anxiety, chaos, and greed are the biggest enemies for small capital.
Turning fortunes around is not about making a big leap at once, but about improving a little more than yesterday every day; over time, it will naturally lead to a qualitative change.
