#BTC资金流动性 account only has a few hundred dollars, a survival rule for a newbie in the crypto world.
This circle is actually not that complicated. I've seen too many people come in holding onto the dream of doubling their money, only to end up losing their principal. Having little money is really not the problem; the issue lies in the mindset—always thinking about a sudden turnaround will instead lead to getting cut the cleanest.
Last year, I brought a junior into the circle. He only had 900 dollars in his account. The kid's hands were shaking when he placed orders, and I only told him one thing: don't think about doubling your money, first learn how to survive. Three months later, his account grew to 18,000 dollars. The entire process had zero liquidation and he never had to top up his margin once. This wasn't about luck; it was entirely because he honestly followed three rules.
**Rule 1: Divide the principal into three parts, always leave yourself a way out.**
The three-part strategy is crucial. Use 300 to trade short-term, only touching $BTC and $ETH, which have smaller fluctuations, exit immediately when there is a 3% rise or fall; another 300 for swing trading, wait for a clear breakout or breakdown signal on the daily chart before entering, and must close the position after more than 5 days; finally, keep the remaining 300 firmly at the bottom of the account, do not move it even in extreme market conditions, as this is the spark for recovery.
Look at those who went all in; they vanished completely with just one spike. However, if you diversify your funds, even if you encounter two or three false breakouts, your account can still hold up. This is the core of risk management - it's not about how much you earn, but how much you can afford to lose.
**Rule 2: Only follow the trend, don't waste time in consolidation.**
The market is in a sideways trend 70% of the time, and frequent trading only pays fees to the exchange. My entry logic is very straightforward: the 15-minute K-line must show continuous volume, and at the same time, the daily MACD must show a golden cross or a death cross; I only act when both signals occur together.
When it rises to 12%, first take out half of the profit, and let the remaining position continue to run. This is called "if you don't act, you won't, but once you do, you must take a bite." Moving at a slower pace and not chasing the highs allows you to live longer.
**Article 3: Keep discipline next to the computer, and don't let emotions dominate trading.**
A single loss exceeding 2% will trigger an immediate liquidation—I even set reminders on my computer for automatic shutdown software; when profits reach 4%, I take out half and leave the remaining position with a 3% trailing stop; absolutely do not add to losing positions, that mindset of 'waiting for a rebound' must be completely eradicated. The market may be misread, but discipline cannot be compromised. By relying on the system to restrain my fingers, I can survive long-term in this market.
Turning 900 into 18,000 sounds like a story, but it is actually the compounding effect of "making fewer mistakes" accumulated over time. Having a small account is not scary; what is scary is constantly thinking about getting rich overnight. Once you learn these three points, you will outlive most people in the circle.
