Many people have this idea: "I have too little capital, I can't turn the market around at all." But is that really the case?



I started with only 1000U. At that time, I heard many comments: this amount is enough to feed the market, there's no hope. But I thought, why must I accept fate?

Later, the facts proved that having little capital is not a dead end. I relied on a self-developed position scaling strategy to grow my account to 190,000U. This gave me an insight—that opportunity isn't about how high your starting point is, but about how you go about it.

**How do you go about it? I divided the entire process into three stages:**

**Stage One: Testing the waters, small positions for quick trades**

Initially, I entered with the smallest position size, focusing on obvious small swings. I would close positions immediately after profits, and cut losses quickly when needed. The benefit of this approach is that it allows you to accumulate trading experience without risking your entire principal at once. In this way, 1000U became 2000U.

**Stage Two: Clarify the direction, increase profits**

When the market trend became clear enough, I would invest the profits I had earned into adding positions. The key is—at this stage, I never touched the initial principal. All the chips came from profits. From 2000U to 4200U, it was built step by step this way.

**Stage Three: The snowball gets bigger and bigger**

After achieving initial success, I started to truly use profits to generate more profits. Each round, I reinvested the earnings, gradually enlarging my positions. Until I caught a real trend, my account jumped to 190,000U.

**Many people actually don't lack opportunities; they lack execution ability.**

Today, they want to try this coin, tomorrow they like that coin. When their mind wanders, their rhythm gets all messed up. The final result is often a complete loss.

To sum up, these points are really useful:

✅ Only trade mainstream coins, focus on swing trading

✅ Only add positions when profits come, cut losses immediately

✅ Be patient and disciplined, every move must be steady

✅ Practice position management and trend judgment to improve reaction skills

Honestly, the opportunities have always been there. The difference is whether you really learn how to seize them and stick to it. It’s not about luck; it’s about method plus execution.

Listening from 1,000 to 190,000 sounds great, but how many people can really get through phase one in practice? It's often called "rolling positions," but it's really a game of mindset and self-discipline; most people just can't handle it. I've heard too many stories like this, and in the end, they all fail due to lack of execution. I'm also trading mainstream coins in swing trading, but it feels like the market rhythm is completely different now. I've never fully understood the profit scaling part—how to judge when it's "clear"? It's too subjective. The method is correct, but the key is psychological preparation. Too many people give up after one or two losses.

Well said, but the key still comes down to execution ability. Luck still plays a role; don't just blame your mindset. From 1000 to 190,000... this wave's selection was just too smooth. However, the rolling position logic is indeed clear and worth learning. Poor execution ability hits hard; I am that kind of scatterbrained person. Mainstream coins swing, simple and straightforward, with some substance. The real difficulty lies in knowing when to exit; that's the real challenge. Every time there's a good plan, the market messes it up once it hits. I haven't been doing profit reinvestment right all along.

You're right, but I think the key is still mindset; many people simply can't hold on that long. Going from 1000U to 190,000 sounds exaggerated, but I've definitely seen similar cases. Execution is spot on; most people are just indecisive. That's what they say, but how many can actually do it? Relying on rolling positions can indeed turn things around, but the prerequisite is not to lose money first. I've tried operating according to this idea, and I feel that a bit of luck is still necessary. Talking on paper is easy; real trading is when you truly understand what torture is. Mainstream coin swing trading is indeed more stable, unlike altcoins that often get wiped out instantly. This theory is actually about the power of compound interest; understanding this early can save you a lot of money.

Basically, it's just the difference in mindset and execution ability. Going from 1,000 to 190,000 is indeed impressive, but the key is to withstand the drawdowns without panicking. What I fear most are those who get excited and want to chase when prices rise, and then panic completely when there's a reversal. Sticking to only trading mainstream coins has already discouraged quite a few people. Forget it, I'll just do my own thing.

It's not wrong to say that, but the key is whether you can really stick with it. Hearing that 1000U becomes 190,000 sounds great, but how many can actually get through those intermediate pullbacks? It all sounds simple, but execution is hell. I've heard of rolling stop strategies, but I still impulsively chase the highs. This logic is fine, but I'm just worried that halfway through, I might get carried away. Talking about theory is easy, but when actually trading, the mentality can completely collapse. The hardest part is when you're not adding positions, constantly feeling like you're missing out on opportunities. This method is indeed hardcore, but enduring the psychological barrier is really tough. When it comes to execution, it sounds simple, but actually doing it is truly exceptional.

Sounds good, 1000U to 190,000 isn't just hitting a bull market—whoever jumps in, whoever profits. Poor execution is an excuse; the key factor is the market environment, really. But the idea itself is not wrong; it's just easier to review in hindsight. When actually trading, who isn't nervous? Wait, are you really not using leverage? It sounds more like survivor bias... luck really isn't that small a factor.
