#美国非农就业数据未达市场预期 How can small funds be turned into big ones? I’ve been asked this question many times.



$FHE Many people want a piece of these kinds of coins, but the result is often easy to enter the market but hard to exit.

I’ve seen accounts grow the fastest not by relying on some lucky single trade. Recently, I managed a friend’s trading, starting with not much capital, and within three months, the account was steadily growing. There were no fancy operations, just one consistent habit—before placing an order, ask yourself how much you could lose. If you can’t figure it out, don’t act.

The biggest trap retail traders fall into is only calculating profits when they see the market move. But those who can survive until the end in the crypto market? They’ve already designed their escape routes in advance.

For example, when I trade short-term, I set tight stop-losses. It’s not because I’m cautious by nature, but because I’ve learned from losses—small accounts simply can’t afford to tinker. Earning a little less is okay, as long as each loss is minimized. Over time, the power of compound interest begins to show, and no matter how lucky you are, you can’t beat that.

However, the logic is reversed for medium-term trading. To truly catch the trend’s meat, you need to relax and accept volatility. Many people get shaken out by a few dips, but looking back, those are the entry points from small trends turning into big trends. The ones who hold on aren’t necessarily the most accurate predictors, but those with enough psychological resilience.

Another point I’ve repeatedly verified—position sizing directly determines whether you can truly follow your trading discipline. If your position is too large, stop-losses become meaningless; if it’s too small, your plan can actually be executed.

Now, I ask myself one question before placing an order: If this trade goes against me, can I exit painlessly? If the answer is no, I immediately decide not to take the trade. Markets are always there, but if your principal is gone, no matter how good the gains later, they won’t matter to you.

Those who can steadily grow their accounts are not the ones who gamble the most, but those who learn to protect themselves first.

The importance of stop-loss is really underestimated; most people lose money because they can't bear to cut their losses. Small positions are truly the cheat code for playing this game; so many people get liquidated violently because they leverage up.

That's right, small accounts really can't handle big fluctuations, and that's how I do it too.

To be honest, small funds need to be more disciplined, or it's really just a waste of effort. I deeply understand the logic of stop-loss; many times, it's because of heavy positions that I was forced to cut and run.
