When #美国证券交易委员会推进数字资产监管框架创新 $ETH 行情波动的时候, people often ask me: "With not much capital, is it still worth entering?"

It reminds me of my starting point—holding only 1400 yuan, not daring to fully allocate in contracts, fearing a wrong decision would wipe out everything. Who could have predicted that this 1400 yuan would eventually grow to 28,000, a 20-fold increase.

At first, I was no different from most people. Fully allocated chasing hot trends, getting shaken out by market fluctuations, doubting myself. After falling a few times, I understood a key principle: making money in trading has little to do with talent, the crucial part is how you control the rhythm and manage your position.

**Step 1: Learn "Ladder Positioning"**

This strategy isn't about all-in betting, but about letting profits generate more profits. I start with 1400 yuan for the first trade, risking only 25% of my position. When I gain 8%, I lock in the profit immediately—take the profit out to open the next trade, while the principal remains as a "moat."

For each trade, I set stop-loss and take-profit levels in advance—no greed, no hesitation. While others dream of getting rich overnight, I just want each trade to be steady. Profits grow in circles like this, gradually releasing more of my position, the feeling of "compound interest rolling snowballs" is more addictive than sudden big gains.

**Step 2: Cut losses quickly if wrong, follow through if right**

Market risk is real, but trend is your best friend. When I had 1400 yuan, I traded as if sniping—if I didn’t see the clear direction, I wouldn’t act. Once I confirmed the trend, I gradually increased my position, allowing profits to fully run. When it goes against me, I cut losses more decisively than anyone—never hoping for a rebound.

Many people get trapped by "hesitating to accept small losses," but I survived precisely because I was willing to admit defeat. Quick stop-losses create room for the next opportunity.

**Step 3: Rely on rhythm, not luck**

From 1400 to 28,000 took 45 days. No all-in bets, no insider info, purely position strategy combined with rhythm control. I summarized a "Three-Stage Laddering Method": initial capital preservation phase, profit acceleration phase, and mental stability phase.

Some people around me followed this approach and saw multiple times their capital. The hardest part is that one "balance"—when to add positions and when to retreat profits—this hurdle trips up most people.
