#数字资产市场动态 Why do most people start losing money as soon as they enter the market? The fundamental issue is simple—treating "getting rich overnight" as the goal, and then executing with a "luck-based" approach.

Some say their retail trading luck is bad, but in reality, the difference between retail traders can be astonishing. Starting with a $2000 principal, my account is now roughly at the million-dollar level, with no background support—just an ordinary worker.

I never ask "How much can I make this wave?" I only ask "Should I enter this wave?" True capital growth begins precisely when you learn to "hold steady."

**How to start**
Divide $2000 into 5 parts, trading $400 each time, setting stop-loss and take-profit levels for every trade. The key is: no chasing after trades, no holding onto losing trades, no betting against the trend. Only enter opportunities you can understand.

**Pace after profits**
Once the account reaches $10,000, control each position to about 25% of total funds. When the market is trending, add positions gradually, capturing the most stable part of the trend.

**When to take profits and exit**
After the account exceeds $200,000, develop the habit of locking in part of the profits weekly and withdrawing. It’s not about fearing a margin call, but about preventing overconfidence. Stable compound growth is the kind of "huge profit" that can ultimately beat the market.

**Why do most people get margin called?**
Lack of a position plan, taking profits too early; no stop-loss, small losses turning into big pits; correctly predicting the trend but stubbornly holding onto trades. These three reasons account for 90% of margin calls.

Crypto markets are highly volatile. Both spot and futures trading present opportunities, but opportunities and risks are always two sides of the same coin. Recognizing this is much more valuable than blindly chasing hot trends.
