#大户持仓动态 Many people believe that having a small starting capital means missing out on the chance to turn things around in the crypto market. This idea is completely wrong.



I’ve seen a case where a trader’s initial account balance was only around 1800U. People around him didn’t think much of it, believing that putting such a small amount into the market was just "giving away money." But what happened? He managed to grow the account to 260,000U. The key isn’t the starting amount, but execution.

His operational approach is actually very clear:

**Phase One — Rapid Accumulation**: Small positions, high-frequency trading, quickly grow the initial capital to 6600U. This process is like laying a foundation, not aiming for maximum profit on a single trade.

**Phase Two — Steady Growth**: Only use profits to add positions, keeping the core principal locked in place. The benefit of this is risk control and less psychological pressure.

**Phase Three — Exponential Growth**: As profits accumulate, positions naturally expand. When a major market trend arrives, the leverage effect of the account is fully unleashed, and returns grow explosively.

Why do many traders fail? It’s not because they have little money, but because of poor mindset and execution. They learn one method today, switch to another tomorrow, and rely on gut feeling the day after — eventually, their account will be wiped out.

I’ve summarized three key principles:

**Focus on mainstream coins, follow the wave rhythm** — Don’t try to touch every coin; focus on liquid assets like $BTC, $ETH.

**Add to positions when profitable, reduce when losing** — This is the core of risk management. Many do the opposite, increasing leverage when losing more, which accelerates liquidation.

**Be patient and hold positions, avoid greed and haste** — Stick strictly to the planned rhythm, and don’t change your strategy due to short-term fluctuations.

The size of your initial capital does influence your early annualized return, but it doesn’t determine how far you can go in the end. The real dividing line is — can you stick to a trend without letting go, and can you stay rational between temptation and fear?

Methodology + consistent execution > blind reckless trading. To stand firm in this market, you need to start by changing your way of thinking.

To be honest, I've heard too many stories like going from 1800 to 260,000. The key is still having that composure, right? Most people just can't handle the drawdown and their mindset collapses.

1800U to 260,000, this guy is indeed impressive. But why do I feel like I've heard this story several times before... To be honest, I believe in strong execution, but in a big market, you can't ignore the element of luck either. A poor mindset is indeed a common problem for most people, I agree. Adding and reducing positions in the opposite way, I see too many people around doing that... Not greedy, not rushing—listening sounds easy, but how many can really do it? Turning 1800 into 260,000—this math is truly incredible. The key is that knowing is easy, doing is hard. It took me a year just to change my mindset.

1800到26万?Alright, I believe it, but the premise is that this guy didn't go all-in on BTC at a market peak and then run away. 2. It sounds good, but most people still can't control their hands. When they lose, they want to double up with leverage—that's the real picture. 3. When it comes to execution, it sounds easy, but how many traders can stick to a strategy for more than 3 months? 4. I think the hardest part isn't the method itself, but staying calm and adding to positions as planned when the price drops 30%. That tests your psychology. 5. 1800 to 260,000 sounds great, but how many people got wiped out in the 6600 to 2000 retracement? 6. I agree with the mainstream coin approach, but the ones who really make big money are the crazy people willing to heavily invest in non-mainstream coins. 7. Having a small capital advantage is actually quite obvious; the cost of trial and error is low, but you need enough patience to withstand psychological fluctuations. 8. Profit by adding to winning positions and reducing losses by cutting, sounds good, but one reverse market wave can mess everything up. Who can guarantee their judgment is correct? 9. I've heard this theory before, but executing it is really a different story. Most people still lose to emotions. 10. Methodology is indeed important, but don't overlook the role of luck. If you enter at the wrong time, everything is pointless.

1800U flipped to 260,000, easy to say but extremely difficult to do. The key is having ironclad execution power. Honestly, I've seen too many people learn methods every day but lack discipline. After a market wave, they forget everything. I really agree with this three-stage logic. The key point is profit adding and loss reducing—many people operate in the opposite way and end up getting liquidated. Starting with a small amount is really not an excuse; it all depends on whether you can endure those days of being broke and bored.
