Small funds want to survive; the key is not to chase speed but to avoid dying halfway.
I've seen too many people with just a few thousand or ten thousand USDT dreaming of getting rich overnight. Heavy positions, frequent trades, chasing whatever is hot—by the time the market starts to move, their accounts are already wiped out. This routine plays out every cycle.
In contrast, those who truly grow small accounts share a common trait—"boredom." It sounds ironic, but it's this boredom that keeps them alive the longest.
**What kind of boredom? Three systems:**
First, only follow the trend, don't guess the direction blindly. Don't get caught up in news and stories; if the daily trend isn't clear, stay away no matter how lively it looks. Wait until the price stabilizes above key moving averages like the 20-day line, preferably with volume breakout before considering entering. Those rebounds without volume? Usually traps.
Second, take profits step by step and cut losses decisively. Lock in half of the profit when it arrives (for example, take out half at 30% profit), and let the rest ride with a trailing stop. If the price breaks below a key support level, don't hold or hope—just exit completely. Discipline is more valuable than any prediction.
Third, position size is the foundation of mindset; small funds should be especially light. Never go all-in on one call. Keep each position within 10% of the account to allow room for averaging down or stop-loss. Only when you can afford to lose can you endure.
The most expensive thing in the market isn't tuition; it's the principal itself.
When you give up the obsession with "getting rich quickly" and focus on "staying alive," the seeds for a turnaround are already planted. Many people's confusion doesn't stem from a lack of opportunity but from missing a system that helps them maintain a steady rhythm.

This is the real truth, much more reliable than those calling signals.
Living long is truly more important than making quick money. I've seen too many people go all-in and lose everything in one shot.
That's right, discipline is indeed the most valuable.
Small accounts should be played like this; stability is the key.
I feel like I've always been going against the trend, no wonder I keep getting washed out.
Only buy after the 20-day moving average stabilizes; many people overlook this detail.
Rebounds with no volume are indeed traps; I've been caught several times.
A 10% position limit, I need to remember this.
Take half of the profits off the table first; the rest won't hurt as much.
Stop-loss is the real moat.

You're absolutely right. I've seen too many accounts wiped out in one go. I'm currently opening 10% positions; staying alive is way more satisfying than chasing quick profits.

Really, the dream of getting rich overnight should have woken up long ago; living is the hard truth.
---
The group that heavily leverages is indeed engaging in suicidal operations; can't blame the market.
---
Boredom is actually the highest level of operation; it sounds contradictory but that's just how it is.
---
Remember the advice of a 10% position; for small accounts, turning around depends on this to survive.
---
Discipline is more valuable than predictions; it's a hard pill to swallow, but most people just can't do it.
---
It's that same argument of "surviving is harder than making money," but indeed some have turned around just by this.
---
If the support level breaks, sell all; this tests human nature the most, but those who can do it are all doing well.
---
Rebounds with no volume are indeed traps; only after踩过太多次才懂.
---
Principal itself is the most expensive asset; this statement hits the mark.
---
Small funds fear urgency the most; rushing to make quick money results in quick exit.

From dreaming of getting rich overnight to learning to live, how many pits must be踩过才能转变啊.
