#数字资产生态回暖 A fan asked me the same question: How can small funds accumulate quickly?

He used 2000U to reach 62,000U in three months. Honestly, there’s no magic involved—just sticking to one rule: first calculate "how much you could lose in the worst case," then see "how much you could gain in the ideal case."

The most common way retail investors fail is by not considering stop-loss at all—going all in and then losing everything.

Stop-loss and take-profit might seem simple, but in reality, they are the dividing line between those who make money and those who get wiped out.

**Trading Contracts Like This**

For short-term trading with 5x leverage, my goal is to earn 6~8%, with a stop-loss within 3%. Small funds with higher leverage mean losing just 1 point could blow up the account. Take ETH as an example: with a $10,000 position, if you lose 3%, you cut immediately; once you hit your target, you exit right away. It may seem like small gains, but sticking to this for two weeks can add up to an extra 5000U.

**Swing Trading Spot Markets Like This**

To catch a big move of 40%, you need to be prepared for a 5% pullback. Set your stop-loss at previous lows or key supports like the 4-hour MA60.

Take-profit in two stages: when the gain reaches 35%, sell half to lock in profits; for the remaining position, use a trailing stop. Once it retraces 8%, close everything. Those who can exit at relatively high levels have already outperformed most of the market.

**Position Size Determines Life or Death**

When your position is light, even an 8% stop-loss lets you sleep peacefully; when it’s heavy, a 2% stop-loss can make your palms sweat.

Remember this: going all-in without a stop-loss is like driving on the highway with no brakes.

**Core Logic**

Stop-loss is insurance; take-profit is harvest. Treat every trade as a "life-and-death battle"—first ensure how you survive, then think about how to make money.

Market opportunities are everywhere, but if your principal is gone, no matter how bullish the market is, it won’t matter to you.

You're right, the key is not to be greedy. Stop-loss is really a lifesaver.

Really speaking, holding a large position without stop-loss is suicide. Everyone I know who blew up did so this way. --- From 2000U to 62,000, that number sounds great, but 99% of people can't reach it because they lack discipline. --- Stop-loss is like buying insurance, I agree with that, but very few people actually follow through. --- The most heartbreaking thing is that phrase "Even the best bull market is useless if the principal is gone." How many people go all-in just to regret it later? --- In derivatives trading, earning 6% with 5x leverage sounds boring? Wrong. Stable compound interest is the key. Most people get caught up in greed and fail. --- Having a lighter position allows for better sleep, that's true. Conversely, heavy positions are self-punishment. --- I also use the phased take-profit approach in spot trading: taking 35% off early is indeed safer, and the rest is for chasing excitement. --- "Markets are everywhere" is indeed true, but those without bullets in their gun are just wasting their time.

That's right, stop-loss is truly a life-and-death line. I previously hesitated to cut my losing trades, and as a result, I was stuck for three months. Now looking at that money, it just feels painful.

It's the same old spiel—sounds nice, but in reality, you can't stick with it for more than a few days before forgetting everything.

Really? 2000U to 62,000? How strong must this guy's mental resilience be... I'm still struggling with stop-loss points, and he's already turned risk management into an art. Wow, the analogy of heavy holding without stop-loss is brilliant, it's like falling asleep while driving on the highway, and waking up to be on the news. Honestly, the most heartbreaking thing is that line "Even the best bull market won't matter if you lose your principal." Last year, I learned a costly lesson because of this.

Honestly, stop-loss is easy to talk about, but many people just refuse to change when it comes to actually doing it. I've seen too many people go all-in with heavy positions, and then lose everything in one night.

Basically, living is more important than making money. This is the simplest truth.
