#ETH走势分析 A few days ago, someone DM’d me: “How can I quickly turn a small amount of money into a big win?”
I replied directly: Don’t think about being fast, think about how to last.
💰 Position sizing—your life is more important than your money
I know a guy who last year went all in with $4,000 on 20x leverage longs, three days in a row of green. The day he got liquidated, he posted three ellipses in the group chat and disappeared. Later, I told another friend, “You have $5,000—risk at most $2,000 per trade. If you lose, accept it. Don’t try to average down.” She listened. She did lose for a couple weeks, but then caught that $ETH rebound, went in three times, immediately recovered and made a profit.
A good sense of rhythm is worth more than courage.
📉 If you don’t control your drawdown, you’ll break down sooner or later
Once saw a girl’s account grow to $8,000, she was super excited. Then one greedy move caused a 25% drawdown, and she fell apart right there. I told her to take a break, then set a hard rule: if drawdown hits 5%, cut immediately—no hesitation. Now her equity curve is as steady as an EKG: occasional blips, but no chaos.
Making money isn’t about being aggressive, it’s about being able to hold on.
🎯 If you don’t understand, don’t force it
I have a habit when trading: mark out support and resistance before acting, only enter on a breakout. Can’t read the chart? Sit and watch. One time someone asked me at midnight if they should chase a certain altcoin. I glanced at the chart—just a bunch of wicks—so I said, “If you ape in, I’ll block you.” Next day the coin got cut in half, he sent me a “fist bump” emoji.
The market isn’t short on opportunities; what’s lacking is the patience to wait for them.
💸 Take profits—numbers will fool you
For small swings, I take half off after 30–50 points. For trend trades, I let it run over 150 points, then leave the rest to luck. Last year a girl turned $10,000 into $50,000 and didn’t withdraw a cent, wanting to hit $100k. Then a single crash wiped it all out. She came to me crying and I just said, “Only what’s in your wallet is real money.”
When your account hits a round number, withdraw. That’s the iron rule.
📊 As your capital grows, your strategy has to change
Once your account passes $8,000, you can increase each position to $1,000–$1,500, but stop-losses must be locked at 3–5%. That friend who listened now has a steady $20,000 account, and every time we chat she says if she hadn’t listened back then, she’d be wiped out.
$BTC $ETH and other major coins are volatile and regular enough, perfect for practicing over and over. Stop staring at alts dreaming of overnight riches.
From $5,000 to $8,000, then $12,000, $20,000… it’s like climbing stairs: one step at a time. Want to fly? Learn to walk first.

Those who listened are still around; the ones who went all-in are long gone.

To be honest, I also saw that guy go all-in and get liquidated. It was really intense.

The phrase "life is more important than money" really hit home. That guy hasn't shown up again since he went all-in and got liquidated.

It's true, that guy disappeared after going all in and getting liquidated. It's really scary.

To be honest, that guy’s story about going all in and getting liquidated scared me to death. Now I believe even more in the idea that surviving longer is the key.
