How to avoid dying with small capital and turn things around? First, let go of the dream of getting rich overnight and learn to survive.



A real case worth looking at: starting with 800U, reaching 3.2W U in 4 months, never爆过, no崩盘式回撤. The secret is not luck, just these three straightforward methods.

**Position must be split**

How to divide 800U? Into three parts: 300U for intraday trading (at most one order per day), 300U for swing trading (once every ten days or half a month), 200U as principal insurance (can recover even after real losses). Full position is suicide, no room for debate.

**Only trade the markets you understand**

During sideways periods? 80% of losses happen here, so just don’t trade. If the trend isn’t clear? Stay out of the market. Wait until the trend is clear before taking action; better to miss out than to lose money randomly. Remember: markets may not be available every day, but your principal must stay alive every day.

**Write rules in stone, let emotions go**

Stop-loss at 2% should be as normal as eating, no psychological barriers. When profit reaches 4%, cut half the position to lock in gains. When account profit exceeds 20% of the principal, immediately transfer 30% to a safe account. Never add to a losing position—this is the fundamental reason 90% of people can never turn their situation around.

No gambling, no holding, no幻想"拉回来".

What’s the result? This guy’s account has already突破10W U. More importantly, he no longer stays up late watching the market—just 5 minutes a day to check the position and then he’s done.

Want to turn things around? The first rule: the principal must not die before talking about doubling. Divide positions, wait for the right timing, control the heat—these things may not be exciting, but they can save you three years of detours. The fastest way in the crypto world is never rushing, but—calm down first.

Honestly, I agree with this logic, but the execution difficulty is extremely high. Most people forget immediately after reading, then go all-in to chase the涨跌停.

Another story about "risk control," but how many can truly achieve it? However, these cases from 800 to 32,000 definitely hit the mark when it comes to position sizing. To be honest, the hardest part is never the strategy itself, but actually following the rules. Most people see a rise and want to go all in; when they lose, they want to hold on stubbornly. This guy sticking to a 2% stop loss has already beaten 90% of people. But staying in cash and waiting truly tests mental resilience, especially when watching others make money...

honestly the "sub-optimal incentive structures" in retail trading are precisely what this misses... the game theoretical implications of position sizing are non-trivial, but tbh this framing feels oddly prescriptive given historical precedent suggests most actors lack the governance primitives to actually execute. ngl though, the path dependency argument about capital preservation has merit

That's right, that's the principle. The principal being alive is the most important thing; everything else is just floating clouds.

Honestly, this approach is about making a living and earning money, not getting rich overnight. I agree most with the saying — your principal has to stay alive to talk about doubling; there's nothing more heartbreaking than that.

That's quite right, but I am currently among that 80% who are stuck in sideways trading. The MACD has just formed a golden cross again, but I still don't dare to sell...
