Capital isn't much, so you have to play it safe. Don't fantasize about getting rich overnight. I've seen too many people with just a few thousand USDT trying to double it, only to chase hot topics and operate with full positions repeatedly. Before the real market trend arrives, they've already lost half their money.
To make small funds work, the key isn't excitement but discipline. Follow the trend, not against it; stick to the rules, not feelings—this is the basic principle.
When choosing coins, don't listen to stories, and don't trust "insider information" lightly. If the daily trend isn't clear, avoid even the hottest topics. This way, you reduce the chance of losing half.
Entering the market is simple: hold steady above the key moving averages, and sell immediately if support is broken. Don't try to guess the bottom or hold on stubbornly; that's the fastest way to lose money.
A solid rise with volume is reassuring; a rise without increasing volume is often a false alarm. It's easy to enter, but hard to exit.
Don't be greedy after making money. Take profits in stages, and leave some to let profits run. When the trend starts to weaken, it's time to cut decisively. Many people die because they keep delaying "just a little longer."
Stop-loss must be quick—if the close doesn't meet expectations, handle it the next day. Don't leave yourself a false hope. This habit can save you many times.
Currently, you can focus on: SOL, ZEC, BEAT. The method is laid out; now it depends on whether you're willing to execute.

That's right, small investors need to recognize their own limits and not always think about going all-in to turn things around.
Discipline is really the easiest to overlook. A few months ago, I lost from five figures down to four because I didn't stick to my stop-loss.
The key moving averages were spot on; too many people like to gamble on the bottom.
Making money is one thing, but being able to resist greed is another. I'm only now slowly understanding this.

It all sounds right, but less than 10% of people actually execute. I lost money on the words "wait a bit longer."
Cutting losses quickly is really true. Now I exit at the first sign of a wrong closing signal; minimizing losses is better than taking a big loss.
This wave of SOL is indeed worth watching. Has the trading volume picked up?
Small funds can't afford to play, I agree with that. Going all-in is truly asking for death.
Going against the trend and stubbornly resisting is the dumbest. I've seen too many people do this and end up with nothing.

You're so right, small money fears the full-position dream the most.
I've seen too many stories of people going all-in and ending up with zero, really.
I agree with not chasing hot topics; most of those are just bagholders.
Cutting losses quickly is indeed a life-saving habit, but it's the hardest to execute.
Only a surge volume is a real signal; fakeouts are really deadly.
When the trend is weak, it's time to run; greed for a little profit often results in losing half, which is not worth it.
SOL is worth watching, but the other two need more observation.

That's right, small money really shouldn't be gambled away. I previously lost money by frequently chasing hot topics.
The worst thing is the mentality of "wait a bit longer," which can really cause you to lose all your gains.
Stop-loss is easy to talk about, but hard to execute for anyone, but not doing it means waiting for death.
This wave of SOL looks pretty good, but the trading volume needs to be observed further.
Honestly, discipline is a hundred times more important than luck, but unfortunately most people can't learn it.

That's right, I've seen too many small investors who invest just a few thousand yuan and expect to multiply tenfold overnight, only to die the fastest from chasing gains and selling in panic.
Greed is really poison; only those who know how to take profits in stages can survive longer.
I'm now very strict about stop-loss; if the closing isn't right, I clear my positions the next day to avoid losing sleep at night.
The key is to have discipline, I think this is the most harmful thing in trading.

That's right, small money just needs to follow the rules. I used to be a fool chasing hot topics too.
A genuine increase without volume is really just a scam; I've seen too many false breakouts.
So, is it still safe to buy SOL now, or should we wait and see the daily chart?
Greedy for a little profit, this bad habit needs to change.
I'm worst at stop-loss; I always want to wait a bit longer, and as a result, I lose more and more.
ZEC seems to have lost its heat; is anyone still paying attention?
