Friends with a principal of less than 2000U, don't rush to place an order, read this first.
The cryptocurrency market has never relied on luck; it depends on methods and determination. When money is scarce, you need to be even more stable—like a cheetah focusing on its prey, striking only when the time is right. I once mentored a newcomer whose account only had 1200U. He was extremely nervous when he first entered the market, afraid that a single mistake would wipe him out. I explained to him clearly: "Follow the rules, and your account will gradually grow."
In three months, the account grew to 15,000 U. In five months, it directly broke 32,000 U, with zero liquidation during this period. Some people think this is just luck? Absolutely not, it all relies on unwavering discipline.
The following three survival rules helped him grow from 1200U to its current scale:
**Rule One: Split the principal into three parts, leave a way out** 500U for short-term trading — focus on mainstream coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, and take immediate action when volatility reaches 3%-5%; 400U for medium-term trading - wait for a deterministic opportunity to act, hold positions for 3 to 5 days, seek stability over speed; 300U as a backup fund—no matter how severe the market is, I won't touch it. This money is the confidence to make a comeback.
Have you seen those people who go all in with thousands of USDT? They float away when it rises and are at a loss when it falls, and they can't hold on for long. Those who can truly survive understand the importance of keeping a portion of their funds outside.
**Article 2: Only follow the trend, don't waste time in the turbulence** The market is mostly in a sideways trend, and frequent trading just means sending transaction fees to the platform. If there is no clear signal, just sit and wait; if there is a signal, enter decisively. Withdraw half of the profits when it reaches 15%, as taking profits is the real gain.
The expert's approach is to "not make a move unless sure, and when making a move, it must be with confidence." During the time his account doubled, I watched him steadily making money, not chasing highs, and not panicking.
**Rule 3: Rules First, Emotions to the Side** Single trade stop loss not exceeding 2% of principal, exit when the line is touched; Take profit by cutting half of the position when profits exceed 4%, let the remaining profits run on their own. Never increase your position when you're losing, don't let emotions drag you into a pit.
You don't need to judge the market every time, but you must follow the rules every time. Making money relies on the system restraining the hands that want to act recklessly.
Remember: having a small principal is not the problem, the problem is always thinking about "a big turn around." Turning 1200U into 32,000U is not about luck, it's about rules, patience, and execution. I used to stumble around in the dark, but now the streetlights are here.

You're right, I'm just afraid that newbies will still want to go all in.

From 1200 to 32,000, this number sounds harsh, but I believe in real operational discipline.
---
It's the same old story, but I have indeed seen too many people go all-in with their positions, and I won't say how that ended for them.
---
The key is still that sentence — don’t think about making a quick comeback; that thought is the most dangerous.
---
I agree that rules come first; emotions can indeed blow up an account easily.
---
Stop at 3%-5%, it sounds conservative, but making money while staying alive is definitely better than making money when you're dead.
---
Keeping a spare fund of 300U is a good ratio; it’s much better than going all in.
---
The problem is that most people simply cannot do "just don’t act"; they always end up making impulsive moves.
---
A stop loss of 2% is so strict? That's real discipline, not something most people can stick to.
---
Judging trends is easy; sitting still and not acting is what’s hard. This really resonates with me.

To be honest, frequent transactions just mean you are giving away fees for free, and that really hurts.

To be honest, I've used this trap a long time ago, it's just a bit dull.

1200U can roll up to 32,000, I've heard this story a hundred times, it's not that it's false, it's just that the problem isn't with the method
I remember back in the day, a guy I knew did the same thing, the rules were executed quite rigidly, but he just got stuck at the mindset part; once the fluctuation was big, everything fell apart
Honestly, this theory isn't wrong, the key still lies in whether individuals can really withstand that temptation; I think most people can't
3% to 5% and then take action? If the market were really that simple, so many people wouldn't be losing money.

To be honest, I've been using this trap of three methods for a long time, and it does have a stable effect. The key is still to restrain greed.
