Why does small money never grow big? Many people blame the technology — saying they can't read the charts, can't pinpoint the right entry points, or haven't mastered the timing.



I dare to say, these are all excuses.

What truly stalls small funds isn't the candlestick charts or moving averages, but that insurmountable "psychological barrier."

With only a few thousand yuan in the account, a quick loss immediately ruins your mindset, and you'd rather cut losses and run. Conversely, when floating profits rise by 10%, you can't sit still, fearing a pullback, and hurriedly lock in gains. And what happens then? Your psychology wavers, and your trading becomes chaotic.

You're not really trading; you're battling your own greed and fear — wanting to double your money when greedy, wanting to preserve capital when scared. When the principal is small, every yuan feels like a hot potato. How can you enlarge your position? How can you break through the ceiling of capital growth?

To truly break through, what needs to change is never the trading strategy but the quality of your psychological resilience. #数字资产市场动态 $BTC $ETH Whether you can make money ultimately depends on whether you can stay rational in the face of volatility and hold your bottom line in the face of floating losses. Once your mental strength improves, everything becomes possible.

You're so right. I was ruined by my own emotions... When three thousand yuan drops by five hundred, I can't sleep; when it rises a little, I want to throw everything out. Truly, the inner demon is harder to deal with than the market.

It sounds hardcore, but I think having strong mental resilience also requires capital... How many times can a principal of three or five thousand turn into multiple times just by a strong mindset?

That's right, that's exactly how my mindset has been ruined. A few thousand yuan dropping by a hundred or so keeps me awake at night.

That's so true. I just lost because of my mindset. With a 3,000 yuan account, I want to cut my position every time it drops by 5%, and I just can't hold a good position.

Exactly right, but the mental state is just too difficult. I myself am the same way—when my account with 3,000 yuan drops by 5%, I start trembling and simply can't hold on.
