Rules always take precedence over luck, and execution beats all ideas.

Friends, today I want to share some heartfelt words with everyone. Especially for newcomers with limited capital who fantasize about turning things around in the crypto world, listen to my advice.

I have seen too many beginners with just a few thousand U ready to jump in, only to lose everything in less than a week. The crypto space, to put it simply, is not a casino, but a place where rules and patience matter more. The smaller the principal, the more you need to control impulses, waiting like a hunter for the perfect moment to strike.

Last year, I mentored a newcomer who started with 800U. At first, he was so nervous when placing orders that his hands trembled, fearing one wrong move would ruin everything. I told him very straightforwardly: "Follow the rules, and you will definitely succeed." And what happened? His account grew to over 19,000 in four months, reaching 28,000 by the sixth month, all without ever blowing up a position.

Some might say this was luck, but I know very well that it was entirely because he treated discipline as his faith. Today, I will break down this method in detail for everyone.

**First: Capital allocation is the prerequisite for survival**

When he received 800U, his first reaction was not to rush into trading but to divide the funds first. Here's how I allocated his capital:

- 300U focused on intraday ultra-short trades, only dealing with Bitcoin and Ethereum, the two most liquid assets. The goal was clear—make 2% to 4% profit and then stop, never chasing after extra gains.

- 250U reserved for swing trading, holding positions for 2 to 4 days. Only act when signals are clear enough, avoiding frequent trading.

- The remaining 250U stored locally as bottom-line funds. Unless truly at the end of the road, don’t touch this money. Its purpose is to give you the capital to turn things around and to keep your mindset stable.

A common mistake many beginners make is going all-in immediately after entering the market, getting excited during rises and terrified during drops. Such a mentality is unbearable for those with small capital.

**Second: Trading discipline is the real moat**

After dividing the funds, the next step is to set rules, stick to them, and treat discipline as an iron law.

For his short-term trades, he set clear exit points before entering. When the price reaches the target, regardless of whether it can go higher, he closes immediately. This is not conservatism but understanding probabilities. Even the most perfect-looking market can have pullback risks. Exiting early ensures you never get caught in a trap.

For swing trading, I helped him establish a simple signal system. Not based on feelings, but on specific technical indicators. Only enter when the market gives a buy signal; exit when it gives a sell signal. No questions about price, no reading comments, no distractions.

Stop-loss is something we set from the start. Every trade clearly states the maximum loss allowed. Once the stop-loss is triggered, there’s no bargaining. The biggest mistake beginners make is "waiting a bit longer, maybe it will rebound," only to get liquidated in the end.

**Third: Mindset and execution are more valuable than analytical skills**

Technical analysis can be learned easily online. The real difference lies in consistency of execution and mental stability.

He focused on two key points: first, writing down the rules and reviewing them before each trade; second, following the rules regardless of market fluctuations. It sounds simple, but in practice, it’s the hardest part.

Once, he watched a rally he missed, saw others make big profits, and surely felt regret. But he didn’t chase because that market didn’t meet his trading signals. Soon after, the market declined, and those chasing high were trapped. The more examples like this he saw, the more he believed in the power of discipline.

In the crypto space, to survive long and prosper with small capital, it’s so simple yet so difficult: set clear rules, execute strictly, keep the right mindset. Don’t seek overnight riches, only aim for steady growth. Going from 800U to 28,000U isn’t a miracle; it’s built step by step through this process.
