When I first entered the market, I had less than 1500U in my hands, and every time I placed an order, I felt my heart race. But I understood one thing: the thinner the capital, the more patience you must have. Months passed, and my account gradually rolled over to five figures, later breaking through a threshold that even surprised me. I never experienced a 'zeroing out' throughout the process. Some say I was lucky, but I know luck is never a lasting support.
Today I share three insights that have allowed me to not only 'survive' but also 'grow slowly' in this volatile market. They are not complicated, but you really need to put them into practice.
1. Don't use up all your bullets at once.
Starting capital, I divided it into three parts.
The first part is to only trade intraday, focusing on the main and secondary markets, taking a few points from the fluctuations and then leaving without attachment.
The second part is for making swing trades; only act when you're sure, hold a bit longer, and prioritize stability.
The third part is my 'lifesaver money'; I absolutely won't touch it unless it's absolutely necessary—it's your trump card to stay in the game.
Many people like to go all in; when it rises, they think they're clever, and when it falls, they start to panic. In reality, a reasonable position arrangement is the foundation for long-term play. Those who go all in usually disappear very quickly.
2. Learn to wait; most of the time, you actually don't need to act.
This market is mostly consolidating; the real good opportunities only appear during those rare moments. During unclear and fluctuating phases, I'd rather not trade than force a trade.
My habit is to take a portion of the profit once it reaches a certain percentage (for example, over 10%), leaving the rest to float. Money in the pocket is what counts. Be especially careful with altcoins; many sudden surges and drops are just short-term hype, making it hard for ordinary people to catch the rhythm. I mainly play with a few that have good liquidity and strong consensus, even though they won't double in a day, but they feel solid.
3. Once the rules are set, don't bargain with yourself.
I wrote a few very simple rules for myself:
Each stop-loss should not exceed a certain percentage of the total capital; if it reaches that point, cut it off without looking back.
Once profits reach a certain level, first reduce your position to lock in profits, don't be greedy for the tail end.
Never average down on losses; don't continue to increase your position in the wrong direction.
You don't need to always be right, but you must execute your plan every time. In this market, those who live longer are the ones who can eventually laugh about it. Don't be swayed by emotions, and don't let greed put you in a passive position.
Finally, let's talk about something real.
As an observer who has been in this industry for many years, I always feel that controlling risk is far more important than chasing high profits. Use spare money to participate; don't borrow money to play, and definitely don't stake all your possessions. The market always has opportunities, but if you lose your principal the first time, it won't concern you afterward.
Start small and practice slowly; learn to keep calm amidst the fluctuations. We invest not to get rich instantly but to strive for a long-term upward curve within controllable risks.
On this path, moving steadily is more important than moving quickly. Establish rules that suit yourself, then execute them strictly; time will give you the answer.
