Many people treat the crypto market like a casino, relying on luck to make a quick turnaround. But what I want to say is that survival is the primary goal for small funds.

I've seen too many beginners dream of getting rich overnight with just a few thousand dollars, only to be completely wiped out within a few months. In contrast, stable profitable traders around me never chase big one-time gains; instead, they use position scaling to gradually accumulate. I myself do the same, starting with 2000U, strictly following the three ironclad rules of position sizing, stop-loss, and patience. After 42 days, my account grew to 46,000U.

How crucial is position sizing? Imagine you only have 400U in capital—how can you possibly invest it all at once? That’s a death wish. I use a 2-1-1 position sizing strategy: put 200U aside and never touch it, use 100U to test the waters, and keep another 100U as a reserve for adding positions. The benefit of this approach is simple—you're always armed.

There was a period when I lost five trades in a row, but because I only risked 5% of my total funds each time, the maximum drawdown on my entire account was less than 25%. By the sixth trade, with the market cooperating, I recovered my losses and made extra profit. Without position sizing management, losing five trades could have wiped me out completely, leaving no chance to turn things around.

So how exactly do I do it? Suppose you have 1000U—your first trade should use no more than 500U, or even just 200-300U initially to test the waters. Remember, the most important thing is one thing—keep the account alive. Avoid liquidation, avoid forced selling; this is the true secret to turning small funds into big ones.
