From the cycle of profit to loss, I realized one thing: I can no longer make trading decisions based on the scale of principal.



This is a painful lesson. Many people fall into the same trap—small coins are easy to lose control over, and desire can swallow rationality. So I set three ironclad rules for myself: choose assets with good liquidity, give up chasing extreme returns, and prioritize the safety of the principal.

Simply put: prioritize stable assets, avoid aiming for explosive single trades, and exit quickly to secure profits.

Today, I set a small goal for myself—stop trading once I reach a profit of 3000U. This is not greed, but learning what it means to be content. Compared to other traders, this goal may seem insignificant, but for me, steadily earning this amount is more meaningful than getting rich overnight.

3000U is enough? I think so, it's better than me always aiming for 10x and ending up losing more and more.

Really, playing with small coins is just a gambling mentality. It should have been recognized long ago. Stop at 3000U? I think that's the proper way to play, much more sensible than those who chase daily limit-ups. A bloody lesson, brother. Stop-loss is a hundred times harder than getting rich overnight. This change in mindset is worth it. Traders who survive until next year all think this way.

It's the same old story haha, stopping at 3000U? I bet five bucks you'll still be watching the market next week.

honestly the liquidity tier discipline hits different... most people can't even identify inefficiency vectors before they're already underwater on some shitcoin. the 3k target sounds conservative but it's actually asymmetric positioning if you think about it—you're just extracting alpha from your own behavioral arbitrage gap instead of chasing liquidation cascades. respectable tbh

Are you giving up at 3000U? That's quite a sudden change in mindset. It looks simple but is actually very effective.

Are you giving up at 3000U? Man, your resolve is really on point. I'm also learning this.
