To friends who are new to the circle, let me be honest: having a small principal is not the main issue; the real problem is how you play the game.

I started with just over 1000 USDT, and claiming I wasn't nervous would definitely be a lie. But then I realized—small funds never rely on a single big move; it's about the ability to survive.

At that time, I wasn't thinking about turning things around overnight, but rather testing the waters with a small portion each time. If the test was right, I would follow up with increased positions; if wrong, I would cut losses immediately. The process was indeed slow, but the account was gradually growing, and my mindset became more and more stable.

Later, I realized that how far you can go doesn't really depend on how accurate your market judgment is. The real dividing line comes down to these three points: whether you're willing to operate less frequently and let go, whether you can take profits when they appear, and whether you leave room for maneuver.

The most dangerous times are often when the account is rising. Once you start making money, it's easy to get carried away—blindly adding positions, losing control, and the profits earned with hard work can quickly be given back to the market.

I set some strict rules for myself:
Never go all-in, always have a plan before entering;
Take profits when you earn, and even more so when facing losses, hit the pause button.

Later, as my funds grew, I started layering my strategies: some for short-term fluctuations, some for long-term trends, and the rest always kept idle to prevent putting all chips into one trade.

There are plenty of market opportunities; what’s scarce are those who can stick around until the right opportunity comes.

Small capitalists shouldn’t rush to prove how strong they are. First, learn to "guard" your position, then talk about doubling your money. Those who can control themselves will eventually be rewarded over time. If you're still exploring, take it slow—I'll help you steadily build a stable account step by step.
