#以太坊大户持仓变化 Small funds entering the market, is it really feasible?
I've heard this question countless times. Many people get stuck at the starting point—thinking their account is too small, and a single fluctuation could wipe them out, so they just give up on entering.
I understand this mindset. I was the same back then, holding just 2000U, afraid to even open my eyes when watching the market, fearing a single mistake would zero out my account.
But the truth is: after 48 days, this 2000U turned into 42,000.
It's not luck, nor some black technology—it's simply learning the most straightforward "compound interest mindset."
**First, break the obsession with "all-in"**
I gave up the dream of doubling my money. Instead, I split the principal into four parts, only risking 500U each time.
When the profit reaches 8%, I withdraw that profit separately as seed capital for the next trade. The principal is frozen and never touched.
What’s the result? Even if I lose a few trades later, I only lose the profits, and the principal remains intact. You always have the chance to bounce back.
**Second, stop-loss should become a reflex**
I allow myself to be wrong about the market. But once I realize I’m wrong, my stop-loss is already waiting.
When the price hits the stop-loss line, I immediately cut losses. No "wait a bit," no luck-chasing. Many people die because of this "waiting."
Preserving the principal = preserving all possibilities.
**Finally, accumulate positions only in trends**
I generally avoid choppy markets—frequent trading during oscillations often results in repeatedly cutting into profits.
I only cautiously add to my "profit funds" when a clear trend emerges and the structure is very obvious. Let the trend run its course.
99% of the market time is brewing, and the real big profits hide in that 1% of clear trends.

Honestly, the biggest test isn’t technicals or fundamentals, but psychology.
Don’t be greedy when making money, and don’t panic when losing. It sounds simple, but in practice, it’s against human nature.
The secret to turning small accounts around has never been "taking a big risk," but "staying alive long enough." Market opportunities are always there, but your principal and mindset need to be protected like your eyesight.

Really, the part about stop-loss was spot on. I used to be stuck in the mindset of "wait a bit longer," cutting my losses until I became numb. Now, after adopting the compound interest strategy, my sleep quality has definitely improved.

It has a bit of a bragging tone, but it really hits the point.

ngl the 8% compounding thing hits different when you actually stick to it... most people just see the 2k→42k and miss the boring part where you don't touch your core stack. that's literally the whole game right there.

Stop-loss is truly a matter of life and death. I've seen too many people die because of the words "just wait a little longer"...

Oh, I agree with the tactic of freezing the principal; indeed, living longer is much more enjoyable than going all-in.
