Hua Zai on the Market: If your principal is less than 10k, focus on surviving first, then talk about profits!

Friends with less than 10k in capital, I sincerely advise everyone: stay away from scam coins, avoid 100x contracts, abandon the fantasy of getting rich overnight. The first step in trading is to protect your principal, don’t operate blindly and push yourself into a desperate situation. $RAVE

I have seen too many traders who turn 5,000 USD into 20k USD, doubling their profits, only to be wiped out overnight and return to 5,000 USD.
It’s not that they lack the ability to profit, but their capital is inherently weak, yet they always hold a gambler’s mentality of turning things around.
Chasing rallies and selling dips, blindly copying trades, not using stop-losses, stubbornly holding on—these are all trading taboos.
By the time the principal is depleted, they still comfort themselves with “just a little more.”
It’s not bad luck; what you lack is strict trading discipline!

For small-capital trading, there is only one core goal: survive.
Eliminate the risk of liquidation, avoid going to zero, withstand market sudden fluctuations, and not be completely eliminated by a wave of market movement.
As long as you remain at the trading table, maintaining your entry qualification, there is a chance for wealth to gradually accumulate and compound growth.

When I started with a very small principal, I strictly adhered to four iron rules to steadily grow my capital:
First, follow the trend.
Keep an eye on the daily chart cycle, only trade clear trends where MACD is above the zero line with a golden cross; wait and see if the trend is not yet formed, and never blindly bottom-fish in a downtrend.
The core of making real money in trading is not guessing bottoms or tops, but following the trend and positioning accordingly.
Second, strictly adhere to moving average principles.
When the price stays above the daily moving averages, hold your position with confidence; once it effectively breaks below, exit decisively.
Don’t hold onto false hopes or expect the market to turn around.
Many people lose money not because they don’t know how to buy, but because they can’t bear to cut losses in time.
Third, only trade in volume-driven markets.
No matter how tempting the market looks, if there’s no trading volume, never enter.
An increase in price without volume is mostly a trap to lure buyers, and following in only makes you a bag-holder.
Fourth, and most importantly: execute stop-loss unconditionally.
If the closing price falls below a key moving average, exit unconditionally the next day—never fight the market.
Missing out on a move is not regretful; small losses are not scary.
What’s most dangerous is doing the wrong direction and stubbornly holding on, eventually leading to large losses.

For those with less than 10k in capital, the biggest mistake is not slow profit growth but constantly hoping for a turnaround on the next trade, only to get liquidated and completely exit the market.
To profit from trading, first learn to avoid losses; only by safely protecting your principal can you seize market opportunities when they come. #CryptoMarketRecovery
