#大户持仓动态 How Can Small Capital Achieve Wealth Growth in the Crypto World? The Avoiding Pitfalls Guide Is Here

Many people ask privately: with an initial capital of a few hundred or thousand USD, how can you stand firm in this market?
The most straightforward answer is—first figure out how to survive, then think about how much to earn.

The fundamental reason for widespread retail losses is often not poor analysis skills, but impulsive decisions made in the moment. Going all-in in one shot, full position at once, then ending in liquidation. Long-term successful traders turn stop-loss and take-profit into instinctive reactions.

**Unpopular Rules for Short-term Contracts**

Dealing with contracts? These must be strictly followed: leverage no more than 5x, target profit per trade locked at 6%-8%, and stop-loss never loosened beyond 3%.

Why so strict? Small funds are easily wiped out by any sudden counter-movement.

Here's how it works: using 10,000 USD to trade a mainstream coin for short-term gains, if you lose, cut immediately for 300 USD; if you gain, take profits at 600-800 USD. Looks like thin profit? After two weeks of consistent execution, the account can grow steadily by 30%-50%. The secret of short-term trading isn’t about making huge profits in one shot, but about "small water flowing long-term"—many small wins accumulate into a rolling snowball.

**Mid-term Spot Trading Rhythm**

To capture over 40% swing profits, you need to be psychologically prepared for 5%-10% shakeouts.

My approach is as follows:

Set stop-loss at technical support—usually previous lows or the 4-hour moving average. Once broken, exit immediately. Segment take-profit—if the price rises 30%-35%, sell half the position to lock in gains; keep the other half with a trailing stop, and if it drops back 8%, close everything.

No one can sell exactly at the top, but this method helps you sell near the second-highest point reliably.

**Capital Allocation Affects Your Sleep Quality**

The same 10,000 USD—diversified trading and full all-in are two completely different life choices.

With a small position, an 8% floating loss still allows peaceful sleep; with a heavy position, a 2% drop can cause cold sweats. Countless lessons learned: heavy position without stop-loss is like driving at high speed without brakes—feels good normally, but deadly when things go wrong.

Stop-loss isn’t surrender; it’s insurance for your account. Take-profit isn’t the end either, just a phased allocation.

Before each trade, ask yourself: what’s the worst I could lose on this trade? Not dreaming of getting rich.

Market opportunities are endless, but risking only a small part of your capital each time. Most people fall into a vortex of continuous losses not because they lack effort, but because they lack a trading system truly suited for small funds. The bull market’s heat is still there; finding a trading method that fits you is the key.
