Don't remind me again today

Holding less than 1000U and wanting to get on board? Don't rush to enter a position just yet; these few words can help you avoid some detours.



I've seen too many people treat contracts like slot machines – the less capital they have, the easier it is to get hooked. Yet, the ones who can actually survive are the players who are slow enough to make you anxious.

I know a guy whose account balance is only 600U. Every time he enters a position, his fingers shake, hesitating for a long time while staring at the confirm button. I told him: Don't panic, stick to the rules, the money will speak for itself. And what happened? In a month, he turned it into 6000U, in three months he reached 20,000, with zero liquidations in between.

Luck? Don't talk nonsense. He just recognized reality earlier than others—small capital means you can't mess around. The harshest part is his "Three-Part Rule": divide the money into three parts, and one part is never touched. This isn't cowardice, it's leaving a way out for yourself.

Most people can't do it. A few hundred dollars come in and they go all in directly, skyrocketing when it rises and feeling like they are dying when it falls... It's strange if this mentality doesn't lead to a liquidation. In small capital trades, it's never about being quick; it's about who can hold on longer.

His approach is actually quite boring: Can't understand the market? Close the software and go for a walk. Trend comes? Enter a Position with a light position, make a 10% profit and run. The moment the money is in hand is cooler than watching the K-line.

I understand the reasoning, but it's too difficult to execute: cut losses when necessary, without reluctance; take profits when needed, without greed; don't add to positions when you're losing, don't act out of spite. You can't beat the market, but you can control yourself. You don't need to always hit the bottom perfectly; just don't mess things up every time.

Having a small principal is not scary; what’s scary is a wandering mindset and itchy hands. Don’t always think about making a big bet to change your fate – that’s a movie plot, not the real world. Turning 600U into 20,000 relies not on divine skills, but on discipline, patience, and being tough on yourself when it’s time to take action.

Just go at this pace, it's okay to be slow. The key is — you have to live longer than others.

You're right, it's all about sticking to discipline. I used to be impulsive too, and after three consecutive losses, I calmed down. Now, with a Light Position and copy trading, I'm actually surviving longer.

This guy is really something, turning 600U into 20,000 is indeed outrageous... But to be honest, I've seen more people go all in with just a few hundred U and get wrecked. The mindset is really something not everyone can grasp.

600U turning into 20,000? Sounds quite bizarre, but to be honest, having small hands really makes it easy to get carried away.

There is nothing wrong with saying it, but the execution is too murderous. I've seen too many people talk about discipline and have studs on their hands.

That's right, it's just that execution is too difficult. I'm the type who gets itchy hands, seeing the rise and going full position, and then... you all know what happens. But now it's different, really, this time will definitely be different.

Alright, alright, I've heard this theory so many times, but no one really does it. Turning 600U into 20,000 sounds great, but can you guarantee that you will be the next? The key is still the mindset; this thing is much harder than the technique.

To be honest, why didn't I hear about this guy's three-point rule earlier? I only realize now that Full Position is just asking for trouble.
