#美联储降息 How can a small account multiply dozens of times? I've seen someone turn 2000U into 62,000 in three months. No black tech involved, just one principle — first, think about how much you could lose at worst, then calculate how much you can earn.



Why do most people get liquidated? They never really consider how much loss they can tolerate, and then go all-in. Stop-loss and take-profit are easy to say, but this is the real dividing line.

**How to Play Contract Short-Term Trading**

Using 5x leverage, aiming for only 6~8% profit, with a stop-loss firmly set at 3%. Small capital with high leverage — even a 1% loss can wipe you out instantly, no room for negotiation.

For example, with 10,000 U doing ETH short-term trading, cut losses at 3%, take profits at 6~8%. Think the profit is small? You can make 5000U in two weeks.

**Spot Medium-term Swing Trading**

Want that big 40% move? You need to endure the anxiety of a 5% pullback. Place stop-loss at previous lows or key levels like the 4H moving averages.

Take profits in two steps: sell half at a 35% rise, trail the remaining with a moving stop-loss, and exit completely if it retraces 8%. Successfully selling at a high level already puts you ahead of most retail traders.

**Position Size Is the Real Killer**

With a small position, an 8% stop-loss doesn’t affect your sleep. But with a heavy position? Even a 2% stop-loss can keep you awake at night.

Remember this: holding a heavy position without a stop-loss is like driving at high speed with the brakes broken.

**Think Clearly About This**

Stop-loss is for saving your life; take-profit is the dividend given by the market. Treat every operation as your last trade — first, figure out how to preserve your capital, then how much you can earn.

Opportunities do come one after another, but if your principal is gone, the bull market won’t matter to you at all.

Not setting a stop-loss is really asking for death. I've seen too many people go all-in and end up crying.

Stop-loss is basically about staying alive to make money; if you're dead, you have nothing.

Well, stop-loss is really a life-and-death line; so many people have fallen for "wait a bit longer"

Wow, this 3% stop-loss is really awesome. Light positions greatly improve sleep quality. I'm just one of those who died holding heavy positions.

That's right, stop-loss is truly a line between life and death. Many people end up going to zero simply because they can't bear to cut their losses.
