When you only have one or two hundred U, it's easiest to fall into the trap of overnight riches. But if you change your mindset and aim to steadily reach one or two thousand U, the results can be completely different.
What is the real reason small accounts get wiped out? It's not about market judgment, but about poor execution. Frequent trading, full-position gambling, chasing highs and selling lows—these are common pitfalls. By the time you realize it, your principal is almost gone. In contrast, seemingly rigid but steady approaches can gradually grow your account.
To make small funds work, there are two core points: follow the trend + strict execution.
**The logic of selecting coins must change**. Listen less to rumors, focus more on market trend analysis. When the market direction is unclear, holding cash and observing is actually the best choice—not only to avoid unnecessary losses but also to conserve firepower for opportunities with higher certainty.
**The actual entry point is very important**. Wait until the trend is clear before entering. Don't obsess over the perfect entry; the key is to monitor the performance of important moving averages. As long as the price is above the line, you can participate. Once it effectively breaks below, cut your losses decisively—don't hesitate. It sounds simple, but 99% of people can't do it.
**Volume cannot be ignored**. Any rise without supporting trading volume is a false rally, and participation value is low. True opportunities always come with a combination of volume and price movement.
**The method of taking profits also needs adjustment**. After making a profit, handle it in stages: first lock in part of the gains, then let the market decide what to do with the rest. Running far is a surprise; if it can't move further, exit according to discipline.
**The stop-loss standard must be clear**. Only look at the result, not feelings. If the market has effectively broken the level at the close, it indicates a misjudgment, and you must close the position the next day.
This method won't make you get rich quickly, and the pace is relatively slow. But for small funds, stability is always more valuable than speed. As long as you stick to the rules and don't let emotions control you, your account will gradually change. Opportunities in the market are never lacking; what’s missing is a strategy and discipline that can help you achieve steady profits.

Basically, it's about self-discipline. I used to want to get rich quickly and then get liquidated, but now I'm gradually understanding.

Exactly right, but execution is too difficult. I have a few friends who understand these principles but just can't do it, still unable to resist chasing highs.

To be honest, that's why I've seen so many people lose everything after starting with just a few hundred USD. The key is really just not being able to control your own hands.

Exactly right, but the execution is difficult... A bunch of people around me are stuck at "understood but can't do it."

Honestly, the all-in approach is outdated. Just look at those buddies around me who keep blindly trading; what do their accounts look like now?

Honestly, going all-in with a full position is really just self-hypnosis; you'll regret it when you start losing.
