#数字货币市场洞察 How can poor people turn things around? My practical experience

Core logic: Don’t focus on small profits—keeping your eye on the risk-reward ratio is key.

Let’s start with leverage. When your account balance is small, using reasonable leverage is a must. But once your funds reach a new level, remember to decrease leverage—don’t let one extreme market move wipe you out.

Since you have to use leverage, don’t copy those big-money players who set 1%-2% stop-losses per trade. You’ve only got a few thousand or tens of thousands—why bother with such meticulous management? It’s nonsense.

Those professional traders with seven or eight-figure accounts strictly control drawdowns per trade because if their principal goes to zero, it’s hard to make a comeback. But you? With A4 to A5 level funds, risking a 30%-50% drawdown to chase a 500% or even 1000% return is worth it no matter how you calculate it. If you make the wrong call and your funds are halved or wiped out? Doesn’t matter. Your reset cost is extremely low—work food delivery for two months, tighten screws in a factory for two months, and your capital is back. Ordinary people have plenty of time to spare.

Big opportunities are rare. When they come, go all in—don’t hesitate. Going all in doesn’t mean stupidly waiting for liquidation. If you’re wrong, cut your losses and get out. By “big opportunity,” I mean at least a 10 to 20 point swing. Catch one, and your principal multiplies tenfold or more. Do it again, and your account balance will look impressive.

What does waiting for big opportunities mean? It means you need to learn to filter trading signals and be patient. Give up all those questionable intraday trades. Trading short-term too often will shrink your vision, making you focus only on one or two points of movement and miss the big picture. The $BTC trend is more important than you think.

Many people can’t grow small accounts because they try to get rich by accumulating small gains. Snatch a point here, grab two points there, thinking hard work makes up for lack of skill and that they’ll eventually turn things around. But the truth? Completely wrong. High-frequency short-term trading is extremely draining, and if you slack off even a little, you can take big losses. And honestly, I don’t think any of us are that one-in-a-million genius who can master short-term trading to perfection.
