#ETH走势分析 The most common mistake small capital traders make? It's not having little principal, but losing their mindset.
Here's a case I saw: starting with $600, growing it to $20,000 in three months. Sounds unbelievable? In fact, it was all about executing three counter-intuitive moves.
**First: Never all in with your funds**
Split the $600 into three parts—$200 for intraday short trades (cash out immediately when up 3%-5%), $200 for swing trade signals, and $200 as emergency funds. The core of this structure isn't about how much you earn, but how long you can survive in the market. $ACE
**Second: Only take the meat of the trend**
Sideways market? Sit it out. Only act when the direction is clear, and take half the profits off the table when you're up 12%.
Frequent trading doesn't mean diligence—accurate targeting does. $GRIFFAIN
**Third: Let rules make decisions for you**
Keep stop-losses under 2% per trade, reduce your position when up 4%, and never average down when stuck in a losing trade.
You can be wrong in market judgment, but you can't break discipline. $PIPPIN
From $600 to $20,000, with zero liquidations and zero all-ins. The key wasn't perfect predictions, but consistency.
The biggest fear for small capital isn't slow growth, but blowing up your mindset in one big loss. With rules in hand, at least you won't get knocked out of the game early.

LiquidatedAgain

Here we go again with this talk... That time I went all in with 600U, got liquidated right at the liquidation price. Now reading this article just feels like it’s mocking me.

It’s just armchair strategizing. When it’s really a bear market, who can actually stick to a 2% risk control point?
---
What you said is right, but the hard part is execution. I’m the idiot who kept averaging down after getting stuck, and now my account is just lying there dead.
---
All those rules go right out the window the moment you get liquidated. By the time you come to your senses, you’ve already been wiped out.
---
I’ve tried splitting my funds into three parts, and ended up burning all three. Still didn’t manage to turn it into 20,000U.
---
You really should take a break during sideways markets, but I just can’t sit still, and then I end up getting liquidated again and again.
---
This guy’s predictions are spot on, but whenever I bet, my predictions are always off. So in the end, stop-loss is the only way to survive.
---
The point about mindset breaking down is so true. Every time I get liquidated, it’s my mindset that collapses first, then my collateral ratio just skyrockets.

600 to 20,000? That number sounds like a pyramid scheme, haha, but splitting into three bets is indeed clever. Not going all in is the real way to go—so many people lose everything by betting it all at once.

Absolutely right, mindset is really a major pitfall. I used to be a fool who went all in, and lost everything in one go. I deeply regret it.
