Recently, the topic of whether short-term trading can make money has become quite popular, so I'll share my own views.
I believe that if you want to make money in the market, you must engage in short-term trading. If you don't trade short-term, you won't sense when real opportunities arise, and you won't dare to open a position; you won't even be aware of it.
However, making huge profits from short-term trading is very difficult because short-term trading has a significant impact on one's mindset, especially with high leverage and heavy positions. Moreover, engaging in short-term trading is a mathematical problem; over the long term, your win rate will surely approach fifty percent, no matter how skilled you are. There are trading costs and psychological issues, making it hard to avoid losses.
Therefore, my trading strategy has always been to use a small capital that accounts for about ten percent of my cash to engage in short-term trading, and when a big opportunity arises, I will go in with heavy positions.
My profits since 2024 have mainly come from the surge in BTC, the meme market at the end of 2024, and the ETH market in August 2025. At other times, my win rate in short-term trading has been around fifty percent, and occasionally even the opposite direction.
So don’t expect to make big money from short-term trading; almost no one can do it. Even if you do, you won't be able to hold on to that money.
With small capital, you need to save your money. Whether you are working or using various methods, you must accumulate capital. You should wait for either a particularly good opportunity or a black swan event to strike with heavy positions to make big money. It’s not about having smaller capital and higher leverage. #比特币VS代币化黄金
