Holding only a hundred bucks worth of coins in your hand, you should suppress that greed. Many people have heard the principle of $USELESS, but few actually practice it.
The key is not how quickly you make money, but how to gradually build that initial capital into a thousand-level account. Mindset determines everything — you want steady growth, not relying on a big gamble to turn things around.
The biggest pitfall for small funds is not choosing the wrong direction, but getting too eager, stacking positions full, and completely losing rhythm. When the market jitters slightly, tossing back and forth two or three times, the account gets washed out. Not many people understand this principle of $PIPPIN.
Players who truly grow their accounts often use the simplest strategies — if you don’t understand, don’t move; wait until you’re clear before acting. When choosing coins, talk less about rumors and more about reading the candlestick charts. If the trend isn’t stable, stay put and wait; once the pattern is clear, enter decisively. Avoid those repetitive trial-and-error tricks.
You don’t need to perfect the entry point; as long as the position is reliable, it’s fine. Enter at key support zones, and if it breaks, stop loss immediately. Act decisively, don’t dawdle. A very important detail: if the trading volume doesn’t keep up, the price increase won’t go far — this is an iron law.
Once you have profits, quickly take some off the table, and let the rest ride the market itself. If it continues to rise, that’s a surprise; if it stalls, follow your plan and exit completely. Stop-loss is only about the outcome — don’t listen to those mental screams of panic. A break means you judged wrong; missing the opportunity isn’t a loss. The real loss is stubbornly holding on.
This strategy isn’t exciting, but it’s the most considerate for small amounts. What is success? It’s repeatedly executing the same rules in the market year after year. That’s a hundred times better than chasing quick gains. Opportunities are never lacking; what’s missing is persistence.

That's right, there are just too many people with poor execution skills.
The biggest enemy for small investors is really the itching to trade; I've been trapped myself too.
The hardest part is the stop-loss; if you can't get past the psychological barrier, you'll definitely hold onto your positions.

That's right, the itch to trade is the Achilles' heel. That's how I got washed out.
I'm tired of hearing that. The key is having this mindset; it's too difficult.
If the breakout occurs, just run; don't hesitate. That's much better than many people.
Volume is indeed the golden rule; many people get trapped because of this.
Instead of chasing perfect entry points, it's better to stick to your stop-loss line.

It's true, but only a few can truly persist; most are broken by a quick rebound in the market.

Talking about stop-loss every day, and once the account turns green, thinking about making a comeback—what's the result? The more you hold on, the worse it gets.
---
The biggest fear with small amounts is frequent operations; itchy hands are more deadly than losing money, and this point is well understood.
---
An insufficient trading volume is indeed a trap; many have been caught here—bitter lessons learned.
---
If you don't understand, don't move. This is simple, but few actually do it.
---
Knowing the rules and executing the rules are two different things; most fail at the psychological barrier.
---
Steady growth versus all-in turnaround—choosing between the two clearly reveals a person's mindset at a glance.
---
Profit being partially cashed out is indeed clever; greed ends up harming oneself.

Everyone is right, but the key is that those who can truly persist are very rare. I myself often get itchy hands.
