No specific coins are recommended. Today, I just want to talk to friends who have funds below 800U—if you want to survive in this market before discussing making money, you need to understand a few things first.
Last year I brought a newcomer, with a principal of 500U, who couldn't even distinguish between market orders and limit orders. Three months later, the account balance was 28,000U, and there were no liquidations during that time. It wasn't just luck; he stuck to a few rules.
**Rule 1: The principal must be used separately, don't all in** For an amount between 500 to 800 U, I suggest dividing it into three parts proportionally: - Use 30%-40% for day trading. Focus only on the mainstream coins BTC and ETH, take profits when they rise or fall by 3%-5%, and make at most 1-2 trades per day. Altcoins? Don't touch them. - Another 30%-40% for swing positions. Wait for the 4-hour K-line to break through key levels and for trading volume to significantly increase before entering the market, holding positions for 3 to 5 days, aiming for a profit of 15%-20% before exiting. - Keep 20%-30% as a "reserve team." No matter how crazy the market gets, do not touch this amount of money; this is your trump card for a comeback.
**Article 2: Follow the trend, don't waste time in the fluctuations** The crypto market spends 80% of the time in a sideways grind. Frequent trading? That's just paying fees to the exchange. Wait for clear signals, and take half of the profits at a 12% gain. With a small capital, it's about stability, not gambling.
**Article 3: Discipline surpasses everything, control your own hands** - Each order's stop loss should not exceed 3% of the principal, accept the loss when it hits. - Reduce your position by half immediately if profits exceed 5%, and set a stop loss at the cost price for the remaining portion. - Absolutely do not increase your position after a loss; do not let emotions dictate your decisions.
The advantage of small capital lies in its flexibility; the worst thing is the "all-in comeback" gambler mentality. It is not difficult to roll from 800U to 20,000U, but the challenge is to maintain discipline and endure patience.
In the past, a person would stumble around in the dark, but now I have the light in my hand. The light stays on, whether you follow or not.

What you said is absolutely right, but most people just can't do it. Really, cutting losses is the hardest part.

You are absolutely right, with small amounts you must stick to the rules and not go All in recklessly.

Discipline is key, really. To survive with 800U, you have to learn to stop loss first. Those who went all in are gone.

It's true, small investors are most afraid of getting itchy fingers and wanting to go all in. I've seen people around me who got liquidated die because of their emotions.

This guy is not wrong, just afraid that some people won't listen and will go all in.
