#数字资产市场动态 Small funds grow from zero, to be honest, it’s just three words: don’t be reckless.

Many people ask me how to double their money quickly, and my answer often disappoints—first learn how to survive, then talk about how to make money. Retail investors who lose the most are almost always due to technical issues or just a hot-headed decision to go all-in, then unwilling to cut losses. The people who make it to the end in the market share a common trait: they treat controlling losses as their top life line.

【Short-term Contracts: Light Leverage is the Way to Go】

If you really want to do short-term contracts, leverage should not exceed 5x—that’s the bottom line. Aim for a 6%-8% profit, don’t be greedy. Keep stop-loss strictly below 3%. Small accounts can’t withstand wild swings, so it’s better to earn less than to lose everything in one go.

For example, with 10,000 USDT, cut losses decisively at 300 USDT. When you earn 600-800 USDT, consider taking profits. Don’t think this amount isn’t worth acting on; accumulating it bit by bit, you’ll gradually experience the power of compound interest. The essence of short-term trading isn’t about single big profits, but about the rhythm of “small wins accumulating.”

【Spot Mid-term: Follow Trends and Be Mentally Prepared】

Want to capture trend returns of over 40%? Then you must endure intermediate fluctuations and shakeouts—there are no shortcuts.

Set clear rules: place stop-loss at key support levels or below moving averages; if broken, exit immediately. Take profits in two stages: when gains reach 30%-35%, cut half of your position; let the rest follow the trend, using trailing stops to protect profits.

The reality is, no one can perfectly bottom-tick or top-tick. But a clear trading discipline can help you hold onto most of the money you should be taking.

【Position Management: Living Comfortably to Go Far】

With the same capital, holding a small position versus going all-in with a full position are two completely different life experiences. When the position is light, your mindset stays stable, and you can rationally handle any volatility. Once heavily invested, even slight market movements can make you anxious and irritable.

The real issue isn’t how much you can earn in one go, but how much loss you can tolerate. Before each trade, ask yourself: what’s the maximum loss I can accept? Don’t keep daydreaming about how much you can make. Opportunities are always there, but if your capital is wiped out, it’s much harder to bounce back.

Many people fall into a cycle of repeated losses, but it’s not because they aren’t trying hard enough; it’s because they haven’t found a trading system suitable for their capital size. True transformation often begins with accepting the reality of “gradually getting richer.”
