#Solana行情走势解读 Small capital accounts, how can they achieve steady growth? Many beginners have asked me this question.



I have come across many successful cases, and the fastest-growing ones are not those who bet everything on a single high-risk trade. On the contrary, they share a common trait—their first step before trading is to ask themselves what the worst-case scenario could be.

Previously, I helped a friend plan a trading strategy. With limited initial funds, it took three months to gradually grow the account. There were no extraordinary operations, only one principle running through it all: before entering each trade, precisely calculate the maximum loss. If you can't calculate it thoroughly, do not open a position.

The common problem among most retail traders is this—eyes only on how much profit they can make. But those who truly survive in the market are the ones who first plan their escape routes.

I do short-term trading, and my stop-loss is always set in close proximity to the price. Not because I am timid, but because I understand that small capital cannot withstand too much turbulence. Making slightly less profit is not a concern; the key is to control losses. In this way, time will naturally work in your favor. Looking at longer timeframes, the power of compound interest is far more reliable than luck.

The logic of medium-term trading is reversed. If you want to catch trends, you must learn to tolerate volatility. Many people get stuck here—being shaken out by a few whipsaw lines and missing the big move. Those who finally catch the trend are usually not the ones with the most precise analysis, but those with strong psychological resilience and low positions.

Another point I often emphasize—position sizing determines whether you can truly follow trading discipline. Overleveraging makes stop-loss almost meaningless; with lighter positions, plans can be turned into actual actions.

Now, before each trade, I ask myself one question: if this trade moves against me, can I easily accept the loss and exit? If the answer is no, then it’s not an opportunity, but a trap.

Markets for assets like $SOL, $ETH , and others are constantly creating opportunities. But as soon as your principal is wiped out once, no matter how fierce the market becomes afterward, it won't matter to you anymore. Traders who achieve steady growth are never the ones with the biggest guts, but those who learn to protect themselves earliest.

According to research, the stop-loss logic this brother talks about is actually the practical application of the Kelly formula—data shows that accounts strictly following risk control indeed outperform aggressive traders in long-term returns. However, the key issue is... most people can't stick to it for more than three months, and once their mindset collapses, they lose everything.

Basically, don't be greedy, and controlling your stop-loss is the key. I've seen too many people go all-in and get wiped out immediately.

You're right, but I'm just worried about those gambler mentalities that insist on going all-in. My friend is like that—always trying to double up, and as a result, his account was wiped out... Really, keeping a light position is the key.

That's right, I've experienced this kind of loss before. I went all-in and lost everything in one shot, and I regret it to death.

I'll just say it, no matter how nicely you put it, it doesn't matter. The key is to stay alive.
