Can you really double your money with just 500 yuan as principal? Honestly, even I’m a bit surprised.
Lately, I've been using heavy position strategies, but tonight I suddenly wanted to try a light position approach. As it turns out, this ETH short gave me new inspiration—if I had used my usual large capital approach, I would have been stopped out as soon as the price broke above 8. But because my position was light this time, I was able to stay calm, and in the end, I really made a profit. Of course, looking at it from another angle, if I had gone heavy, I probably would have taken my profits and exited when it dropped to around 7,274.
Next, I plan to keep a record and see if I can roll this 500 up to 500,000.
One reminder: don’t blindly copy my trades. If any stranger copies my trades with more than 10 yuan, I’ll remove them immediately. It’s not about being arrogant—I just don’t want to add pressure to myself. I never planned to make money from sharing trades for a profit share; I’m purely documenting my own trading journey.

A light position really changes your mindset. Only when you're not afraid of liquidation can you keep a steady hand.

Light positions are truly enjoyable; large funds are more likely to be controlled by emotions.

Having a small position is really a mindset killer. I used to have the same problem—going all-in with a heavy position and getting trapped instantly.

A light position really does keep your mindset steady, I totally agree with this. If you go all-in and take a hit, you lose everything.

A light position keeps your mindset steady, that's true. Once you go heavy, everything gets chaotic.

The light position mentality is truly unbeatable; heavy positions are all about psychological games.

Light positions are truly amazing; once your mindset is stable, the profits come instead.
