Why do people with small principal lose money the fastest?

The answer is actually very simple: it's not that the market is difficult, it's that you have no discipline
The only problem small capital traders easily make comes down to one word: rushing
With just a few hundred or thousand USDT in the account, you're constantly thinking about doubling it in one trade
All-in positions, maximum leverage, chasing pumps and selling dumps. When it goes up, you feel like you're about to take off; when it drops, you go straight to zero
Last year a brother came to me with an account that had shrunk to just 700U, completely bewildered
I told him one thing: stop thinking about doubling, first learn how to survive
The first thing we did was very simple—we broke down that 700U
Not throwing it all in at once, but splitting it into several portions to trade gradually
One portion for day trading only—take profits when you see them, don't get greedy
One portion waits until the trend is clear before moving, willing to wait a few extra days
And one portion we don't touch at all, keeping it as emergency money
This approach looks slow, but it has one huge advantage: no matter how much the market thrashes around, you won't get kicked out of the game in one blow
