Don't remind me again today

What's the most ruthless move you've ever seen? My buddy took 50,000 yuan and rushed into the market, staring at the screen every day like he was on a caffeine high, muttering "This wave is bound to take off," itching to just go all in and bet it all. And the result? Six months later, his account was just over 20,000, and he hesitated even to upsize his coffee order.

Later, I forced him to change his strategy. In a year, his account shot up to 200,000.

After eight years grinding in this industry, I've seen too many stories of get-rich-quick dreams shattered. The ones who actually make money are never those who just guess the right pump, but those who protect their principal and keep a steady rhythm. Especially in a market like this—where the index grinds back and forth between 106,000 and 109,000, wild swings are rare, and slow, steady oscillations are the main theme—this kind of environment is actually the best training ground for small capitals.

Let me hit you with some hard truths: out of ten people who enter, nine end up with a smaller account. Why? One word: All-in. Chasing tops in a bull market, catching falling knives halfway up the hill in a bear market, in the end either cutting losses and admitting defeat or watching their balance drop to zero. But in this kind of choppy environment, "building positions in batches + swing trading" is basically an unfair advantage. Even if you only have 10,000 yuan as starting capital, you can still get steady gains.

Let me share the "Sliced Take-Profit Method" I've been using:

**Step 1: Divide your money into five parts**
No matter how much capital you have, split it into five equal portions. 10,000 yuan becomes five lots of 2,000, 50,000 becomes five lots of 10,000. Hard rule—never open a single position with more than one-fifth of your total funds. That way, even if you hit a landmine, at most you'll get a scratch, not a wipeout.

**Step 2: Only pick ‘resilient’ assets**
Don't chase those tiny coins whose names you can’t even pronounce. In a choppy market, pick those...

Really, my brother is a typical all in freak, and he's still in the group bragging about his "tactical stop loss," which cracks me up. His account went from 50,000 to 20,000, and he still has the nerve to say it's just practicing in a volatile market? I think he got blown to bits in the training ground. The slice take profit method sounds good, but the key is to resist going all in, which is as tough for retail investors as quitting smoking. I've also gotten tired of the range from 106,000 to 109,000; it's been grinding on and on every day, I'm about to fall asleep. That guy turned four times his money in a year, which means he just fixed his all in habit, and it has little to do with any methodology. Building a position in batches is true; compared to the thrill of going all in, slowly making money really feels more stable. Out of ten entering the market, nine shrink; the situations around me are even worse, with some not even preserving their principal. I've stepped into those traps with small coins, weirdly named projects, and ended up getting smashed. There's no special methodology, just don't be greedy, don't go all in, and surviving means winning.

What you said is true, but the real problem is that very few people can actually stick with it. --- I've heard this theory so many times, but very few people can actually execute it. --- Losing 50,000 down to 20,000—just looking at those numbers hurts. But honestly, if someone can change their mindset, they've already won half the battle. --- Going all-in feels great at the moment, but you only regret it when you lose money—it's always this cycle. --- Slicing profits sounds simple, but when it comes to actually placing five separate orders, the psychological barrier is tough to overcome. --- "Nine out of ten lose money when entering the market"—I hear this every year, but people still rush in. Human nature, I guess. --- The key question is: can you really make money in a choppy market? All I see is sideways action going nowhere. --- Splitting 10,000 into five parts does reduce risk, but it also means the profits come slowly. --- "Don't chase small tokens"—that's the most honest advice. So many people get burned on those shitcoins. --- Turning an account from 20,000 to 200,000—if that growth rate could really be replicated, nobody would lose money.

5万变2万这段我太有感触了，身边也有这样的哥们儿，就差没把裤子梭进去 --- 切成五份这招我得试试，总感觉自己就是那九个账户缩水的老哥 --- 106k到109k磨来磨去，比牛熊市还折磨人，这时候反而容易把自己磨出来 --- 最狠的不是梭哈，是梭完了还得继续盯盘，那才叫生不如死 --- 一万块能稳赚？说得容易，就怕自己又管不住手，一看小涨就想all in --- 守住本金真的比抄底抄顶更难，大多数人做不到啊 --- 这波操作听起来靠谱，不过我赌五块钱执行一个礼拜就会放弃这套法则

That guy who lost from 50,000 to 20,000, honestly, that's pretty rough haha. The all-in mentality is really poison. But this method of taking partial profits does have some merit, it's just hard to stick with it.

I know this guy’s story all too well—I see it every day. Turning 50,000 into 20,000 is really a skill, it takes some real tossing around. Seriously, this market is really a test of mentality. Most people lose because they’re too “impatient.” I’m using the slicing method too, though I’m not as disciplined... But this round of volatility is definitely easier to manage than before. So what happened to that guy later, is he still playing? If you can survive after so many years, it means you never went all-in with everything you had. That really makes a difference. Going all-in... it looks exciting, but your account feels the pain. I just want to know if that 200,000 is still there now—this is the real test. Don’t upgrade your coffee, haha, just focus on keeping your principal safe first. Can you really make a profit with just 10,000? Sounds a bit far-fetched, but trading in a volatile market is definitely more reliable than chasing highs and cutting losses.

I laughed at the part where 50,000 turned into 20,000, it's too real. --- I need to try cutting it into five pieces, it seems much more reliable than my current All in. --- Why do some people insist on all in? It's exhausting to watch. --- The range of 106000-109000 is indeed annoying, but it seems manageable with his method. --- Nine out of ten are losing, does that make me a survivor bias haha. --- The term "resilient target" is brilliant, big coin types are indeed more reliable. --- Going from 50,000 to 200,000 still relies on changing methods, not luck. --- It's actually more comfortable to operate in a volatile market; the big pump and big dump are the real nightmares. --- The take profit method sounds good, but the question is whether I can stick to it. --- Can I operate with just 10,000? Then I need to think about it carefully.

I've heard this guy's story way too many times—going all-in really is the biggest killer in the industry. Turning 50,000 into 20,000, to put it bluntly, that's just greed at work. Now that he’s at 200,000 and feels at ease, that’s real enlightenment. I’m using the slicing profit-taking method too; it’s definitely more reliable than going all-in. How do you pick “resilient” assets? Is it still stuff like BTC and ETH, or do you have other ideas? Nine out of ten lose money—what a harsh statistic. That’s exactly how it is around me, not a single one has made it to this year. That's how you should play in a choppy market—don’t always try to go all-in at once. Feels like this method has more to do with mindset management. Plenty of people know about it, but very few can actually stick with it.

Damn, this story made my heart tighten... Going from 50,000 to 20,000, this is truly a real, bloody lesson. I'm the type who stares at the charts every day until my eyes hurt, and reading this really hits my pain point. Slicing profits... it sounds a bit slow, but it does seem to help you survive longer. Going all-in is really poison. Every time I want to go all in, and then my account just disappears. I'm also exploring this current choppy range. Building positions in batches is definitely more reliable than my previous rough strategies. The method of splitting into 5 parts sounds good, gotta give it a try. Can you really make gains with just 10,000 as starting capital? Sounds a bit far-fetched, but the example in the article seems to make the point... Taking profit and cutting losses is honestly the hardest part. I'm especially prone to being greedy and then losing everything.
