Many people complain that they have too little capital and lack the room to maneuver in the trading market. In fact, the problem isn't the amount of money, but rather using the wrong strategy.



Take five thousand yuan as an example, which is about seven hundred dollars after conversion. If you go all-in in one shot, it’s true that you could clear your position in just a few rounds. But looking at it from another perspective—this money can be an opportunity for seven attempts at trial and error.

My approach is very simple: diversify the principal, only allocate a small portion each time. For example, use one hundred dollars with three times leverage as the base position. If the direction is correct and the market gives some room, even a small fluctuation can yield twenty to thirty percent profit.

The key isn’t how much you make on a single trade, but how to control the risk throughout the process. No need to frequently add to positions; around one hundred dollars in profit can be steadily generated. When the rhythm is right and the market cooperates, gradually increasing the position size will naturally amplify the returns.

After each trade, I will first withdraw the initial one hundred dollars, and only continue to participate in the next wave with the profits earned. This way, even if a mistake occurs later, only the gains are lost, not the principal, which makes the psychological pressure completely different.

For subsequent trades, I will use the profits to find actively traded assets, patiently wait for adjustments and signals, rather than chasing after price surges. As long as you stay patient and avoid reckless leverage, your account will gradually rise.

Many people ultimately lose money not because they have little capital, but because they want to make quick gains. Going all-in with high leverage and chasing the market’s rise and fall has become routine—basically, they’re using money to chase excitement.

The bottom line for small capital trading is: survive. Control your position size, control the trading frequency, and ensure that after each decision, there’s still room to make the next mistake. Those who profit are always minimizing their errors. Success is never just about luck; choosing the right coins, direction, community, and trading partners is equally crucial.

Basically, it's a mindset issue. Too many people want to get rich overnight, but end up losing even faster.

To be honest, small funds really require being "stingy." Going all-in like that is definitely a gambler's mentality. That's how I do it now too—diversify to lower the risk. Anyway, 700 yuan can still be played with in creative ways.

To be honest, even small amounts can be played with, it just depends on how you use your brain.

Sounds about right, but the key is to withstand the psychological barrier... Earning 20% on a hundred dollars is easy, but holding on without adding to the position is the real challenge.

Basically, it's a mindset issue. Small money can also grow, but the key is not to gamble everything away at once.
