#以太坊大户持仓变化 Small accounts start trading, and the most critical thing is not missing the market opportunity, but making a wrong decision that can wipe you out completely.

I’ve seen too many people with only a few thousand dollars in their accounts, yet they insist on going all-in. What’s the result? Losing once and being completely out. The losers are often not wrong about the market direction, but they get caught up in impulsiveness, full-position bets, and unwillingness to cut losses.

Last year, I mentored a guy who started with $3,400, had little trading experience, and had even blown up a account before. But with just this one account, he steadily grew it to $61,000 in two months. No margin calls, no emotional breakdowns, and no repeated wins and losses.

The secret isn’t complicated; it’s just three rules:

**First: Mandatory Position Sizing**

Divide your money into three parts—one for short-term trading, one for medium-term swings, and one as emergency funds. This is the baseline, and it must not be touched. Going all-in? That’s equivalent to voluntarily quitting.

**Second: Only Take Trades You’re Confident In**

If you don’t understand the market, don’t trade. Stay in cash during sideways markets, and wait if the direction isn’t clear. Opportunities are everywhere, but your capital is limited.

**Third: Execute Purely Mechanically, Not Based on Feelings**

Cut losses immediately at 2%, take profits at 4% and lock in half, and if you gain over 20%, move 30% of the profit to lock it in. Don’t try to average down after a loss.

Want to survive longer in this market? You need to learn to hit the brakes. As long as your capital is intact, there’s a chance to bounce back.
