To friends who have small capital but want to turn things around

**Lesson 1: Only those who are afraid to die deserve to live**

Last year, a friend came to me with only 600 yuan in his account.

He asked: "Bro, I open a position and I'm afraid I'll lose everything. What should I do?"

I said: "It's right to be afraid. The real thing to fear isn't market plunges, but that crazy urge to 'bet everything' just because."

Look at those with a few hundred yuan who dream of overnight riches—what's the result? They blow up before the first round.

This friend has a good trait: he's not impatient, listens well, and dares to admit defeat.

Before his first trade, he took three deep breaths, his fingers trembling. But then?

1 month: 600 → 6,000

3 months: steadily reached 20,000

Never once experienced a margin call.

The secret isn't some divine coin-picking skill, but writing "fear of death" into every operation—while others go all-in on hot spots, he diversifies risk; while others, blinded by losses, leverage and hold on, he cuts losses when it drops below stop-loss; even during crazy market swings, he chooses to turn off his phone and go for a run.

**Lesson 2: Small money must be carefully managed**

Many say that with little capital, you must gamble desperately—that's the biggest lie.

The less money you have, the more you need to see clearly where to put it.

I told him to split the 600 yuan into three parts: two for participation—only take high-probability opportunities, like technical breakthroughs or rebounds that can't fall further, with single-loss limits no more than 5% of the capital; one part frozen—convert to stablecoins and put into capital-preserving investments, never touch it.

Why split like this? It's simple—save bullets. Trading is like war; if you run out of bullets, you're done. Those who go all-in in one shot, lose once and they're out. But he can lose five or six times and still survive—that's a probability advantage.

**Conclusion: Small funds are not a weakness, but a practice**

In fact, those with large initial capital tend to be more impatient. Less money teaches caution; caution extends survival time, and with a longer survival cycle, compound interest can show its power.

So don't cry poverty. From 600 to 20,000, he proved one thing in 3 months—that true turnaround isn't about one big move, but about surviving time and again.
