Staring at the numbers in my exchange account, I was stunned for a full three minutes—2000U. This amount, which once seemed 'not enough for a single swing trade,' now represented all the capital I had left in the crypto world.

Months of scenes flashed by like a revolving lantern: following so-called 'masters' to chase highs and sell lows, going all in on popular coins, holding onto trades with the fantasy of 'it will rebound' as the market fell, and even continuously increasing positions to break even… until my account balance shrank repeatedly from five digits to four, leaving just this lonely 2000U.

Strangely, at that moment, I didn't crash my phone or mock myself with 'I deserve this'; instead, I experienced an unprecedented calm. It was as if the person who had been pushed by the market finally stopped after hitting a wall and began to seriously think: where did I go wrong?

I deleted all those random 'market groups' from my phone, turned off the constant pop-up alerts for 'insider news,' and sat at my desk writing down a list of rules, which I posted next to my computer screen, each one like a warning bell to my past self:

- Every trade must have a stop-loss set; even if it’s just a loss of 50U, exit at the predetermined point without hesitation;

- Keep your position at the minimum; even if the market looks good, never exceed 10% of your capital.

- Write down the trading plan before the market opens: how to take profit if it rises, how to respond if it falls, never let emotions influence your judgment;

- Don't increase your position, don't hold onto losing trades, don't fantasize. If the market doesn't move as expected, just accept the loss and exit; don't wait for small losses to become serious losses.

When I first started executing, I couldn't help but think 'just wait a bit longer.' Once, while trading short-term, my position rose by 200U. In the past, I would have thought 'I'll sell if it goes up a bit more,' but looking at the rules beside my screen, I gritted my teeth and clicked 'take profit.' Watching the extra 200U in my account, I felt no joy like the thousands I used to earn, but instead a sense of stability—this kind of stability was something I had never felt when losing over a thousand U the previous day.

In the days that followed, I no longer fixated on those volatile 'meme coins' that could double in value at any time. I only took action when the 15-minute candlestick showed a clear trend and the KDJ indicator was clear. Sometimes, I would only earn two or three hundred U on a trade, but I diligently recorded it in my notebook, watching my balance gradually rise from 2000U to 2500U, then 3000U, slowly building my confidence.

Once, while chatting with a friend I used to trade with, he laughed when he heard I was starting with only 2000U, saying, 'With such a low starting point, when will you be able to break even?' I didn't argue; I just showed him my notebook filled with my operations—where I set stop-losses, where I abandoned trades due to unclear market conditions, and where I made a 300U profit and exited in time.

My friend didn't say anything further, but I was more certain about what I was doing: I didn't want to rely on luck to 'gamble for a comeback,' but rather to earn clean money based on my own system.

Now I no longer boast to others about how much I've earned in the past, nor do I feel smug just because I have a few hundred more U in my account. I simply write a plan before the market opens each day, review it after the market closes, and treat each small profit as a 'savings' for the future.

If you, like I once did, only have a little capital left in your account, don’t rush, and don’t think about 'going all in for a big win.' In the crypto world, many people move quickly, but most scatter during a sudden drop; those who can stay and genuinely make money are always the ones who move steadily.

The starting point of 2000U is indeed not high, but as long as you can stick to your own rules and not let greed and anxiety disrupt your strategy, doing each operation correctly and steadily, you will eventually turn this 2000U into the confidence you need to stand up again. After all, in the crypto world, a set of correct methods and stable execution is much more reliable than blindly being busy and gambling.$BTC #Strategy增持比特币
