Follow the trend for tenfold gains? Listen to my advice, first put that illusion aside—trading is not about shortcuts or magic tricks.



Many people come to me with eyes full of hope, and I can only honestly say: the market has no magic, only steady progress through cycles.

Those friends who turn a few thousand U into a multiple of that didn't rely on one or two lucky hits, but truly "endured"—they endured temptation, found their rhythm, and harnessed compound interest. It's like rolling a snowball; money slowly accumulates, and the account's ability to withstand volatility also grows stronger.

I know an old buddy whose worst moment had only 3000U left in his account. At that time, the market was extremely volatile. He didn't panic and add to his positions recklessly; instead, he calmed down and reflected on each of his trades. The first change he made was to completely break the bad habit of "all-in gambling."

The market can't always be fully caught every time, especially in derivatives trading, where the waiting time for an empty position must be longer than holding a position. True experts can resist about 80% of the temptations, focus their firepower on only the 20% of trades that are truly promising, and gradually grow their capital.

The rhythm of trading is the key.

Of course, reading candlesticks and indicators is necessary, but more important is feeling the market's pulse. During low-volume consolidation, don't fantasize about big moves coming; try with small positions, cut losses decisively. When volume breaks out and support stabilizes, then add to your positions in line with the trend, capturing the full wave.

The biggest trap for small funds is chasing hot topics randomly. Today DeFi, tomorrow AI concepts, the day after Meme coins—such scattered efforts make it impossible to get the rhythm right. Those who truly succeed focus on 2-3 familiar coins, understand their candlestick patterns thoroughly, study the flow of funds, and grasp market sentiment deeply—this is far more reliable than running around aimlessly.

The core of turning around a small account is not "desperation," but "staying alive."

As long as your account isn't wiped out, opportunities are always waiting for you. Market cycles are much longer than you think. When your trend appears, hold firmly and seize the opportunity—that's the real secret to turning the tide.

Here comes another lecture to not dream of quick wealth, I don't believe a word you say. Sounds nice, but isn't it just asking people to endure slowly? Then my three years would have been wasted. Heavy investment to crush and just survive—one of these two I have to choose to get rich quickly, anyway, going to zero is just the same. The biggest fear in trading is hearing too many "big truths," which actually kills your ability to execute. Indeed, surviving is very important, but it's even more important to live happily. Trying with small positions is fine, but when real opportunities come, you have to dare to go all in, or how else to turn the tide.

That's right, but it's tough. Most people can't endure and end up going all-in.

actually the math on "10x from copy-trading" doesn't check out, seen this exact narrative collapse in 2021

Basically, you need to quit going all-in, focus on a few coins, and surviving is more important than getting rich quickly.

Well said, but too many people want to get rich overnight, and in reality, they all fall victim to greed.

No matter how right you are, no one will listen. You still have to experience losses in the market to truly understand.

That's right, I used to think about getting rich overnight too, but I went all-in twice and ended up getting knocked out. --- The strategy of going all-in with a heavy position really needs to be avoided, lessons learned through blood and tears. --- It really tests human nature; those who can resist temptation are all making crazy profits. --- Focusing on 2-3 coins is the right approach. I used to chase hot topics until I was sick of it. --- Surviving is the key; as long as your account doesn't go to zero, there's hope. --- That example of the old brother turning around from 3000U really illustrates the point. --- Sense of rhythm is truly more important than anything else, but this is the hardest thing to learn. --- Cut losses decisively when experimenting with small positions; it's easy to say but hard to do. --- Not every market trend requires you to eat the loss; I only just realized this now. --- The waiting time in a vacant position indeed needs to be longer than holding, patience is the most valuable.

That's right, I'm currently sticking to two coins and not blindly following the trend anymore.

You're so right. I'm the kind of fool who always wants to go all-in at once, and as a result, the market has taught me many lessons. --- $3000U can survive and turn around, but why does my account always get stuck at 80% temptation... --- The most heartbreaking thing is that I happen to be in cash when I make real money. As soon as I add to my position, I get slapped in the face. It's hilarious. --- I read it once but still don't understand what "sense of rhythm" is. Anyway, I tend to operate in the opposite way. --- I can't keep an eye on 2-3 coins; I'm just a hype chaser. Today DeFi, tomorrow Meme. --- The idea of snowballing sounds simple, but in reality, I haven't even rolled the first snowball yet. --- Waiting in cash takes longer than holding a position? Damn, I miss out every time I go cash, and I lose money every time I add to my position. Anyway, something's just not right.
