#美联储重启降息步伐 Think you have no chance just because your capital is small? You need to change that mindset.



If only big players could make money in crypto, there wouldn’t be any room left for us small retail investors. The problem isn’t having little money, it’s whether you’re using the right strategy.

Say you have 1,000 USDT and want to turn it into 10,000 USDT. There are two paths: one is to go all in, bet with 10x leverage and risk it all; the other is to use a compounding strategy and grow steadily. Choose the first? That’s just playing games with yourself—if things go south, you’re headed straight for liquidation.

Compounding isn’t some mysterious trick. Simply put, it means giving up on the dream of getting rich overnight, and instead, stacking profits layer by layer through multiple rounds of trading. The key is to be steady and have a sense of rhythm.

I’ve coached some followers before, some of whom started with just 200-300 USDT. How did they do it? Set a small goal first—say, grow 1,000 USDT to 3,000 USDT—then break it into three rounds, with each round’s profit target set at 300-500 USDT. After each round, lock in some profits and keep the rest rolling.

It’s like ants moving house—step by step, it adds up. It may not double as quickly as in a dream scenario, but the advantages are clear: lower risk of liquidation, strong compounding effect, and a more stable mindset. This is how I manage my own trades—large positions for stable main profits, small positions for flexible compounding, and sub-positions to lock in profit and guard against drawdowns.

In simple terms, compounding is about repeated interaction with the market. You don’t have to win big on every trade—as long as you’re heading in the right direction, cutting losses quickly on small mistakes, and letting profits accumulate, you’re doing it right.

Don’t use “not enough capital” as an excuse. On the contrary, compounding is best suited for small accounts—less capital, lower cost of trial and error, and it’s easier to validate your trading system. Build a solid foundation one step at a time, and when your capital grows, you’ll be grateful for this seemingly slow accumulation phase.

Doubling your account isn’t about luck—it’s the result of compounding your way to strong returns. In a market window like the Fed rate-cut cycle, patience is even more important.

*checks charts from 2017* ah yes, the classic "slow and steady wins the race" narrative... heard this exact pitch right before the tulip mania phase peaked, statistically speaking

Wow, the whole set of rolling positions makes sense, but how many can really stick with it?

The concept of rolling positions, to put it simply, is about transforming a gambler's mindset into an engineer's way of thinking. The dream of getting rich overnight should have been awakened long ago; compound interest is the true path. 1000U isn't much, but it's a hundred times better than getting liquidated with 10x leverage.

Rolling over positions sounds pretty reliable... but the reality is that most people can't stick with it for even three months before their mindset collapses. That's the real barrier to entry.

Yeah, rolling positions is definitely a lot more reliable than going all-in, but it does require patience.

That's right, small funds need even more strategy. Playing with 10x leverage is just a suicidal approach—I've seen too many people go all-in and lose everything in one shot.

Damn, this rolling position strategy is really ruthless, but I still think mindset is the hardest part.

I've heard this kind of motivational talk way too many times. The key issue is that most people simply can't stick with it.
