There are always people treating the crypto market like a gambling table, but those who truly understand know that this is a long-term battle requiring strategy. Small capital players must keep a steady mindset.
I once knew a friend whose account only had 1200U. Every time he opened a position, he was nervous beyond measure, fearing that a single fluctuation would wipe him out. I told him, "Don’t panic, just stick to your rules." And what happened? His account grew to 21,000U in three months, and directly surpassed 48,000U in five months, with not a single liquidation during the period.
This is not a coincidence. He relied on three strict rules:
**First trick: Divide your funds into three parts** Allocate 400U specifically for intraday trading, only dealing with mainstream coins like BTC and ETH, and close positions when volatility reaches 3%-5%; keep another 400U for swing trading, waiting for clear signals before acting, usually holding for 3 to 5 days; never touch the remaining 400U—this is your lifeline to survive crashes. Those who go all-in and get greedy when prices rise or panic when they fall will eventually get burned.
**Second trick: Follow the trend, don’t tinker aimlessly** Most of the market time is frustrating, with frequent trades during sideways movements that eat up half your profits in fees. Wait patiently for opportunities, and when they come, go all in. Take half your profit when earning 15%, so the rest can continue to run—only then is the money truly yours.
**Third trick: Rules override emotions** Never lose more than 3% on a single trade; cut your losses when that happens. When profits exceed 5%, halve your position, letting the rest run. Never add to losing positions to average down.
In short, a small capital is never the cause of failure; the real killer is always the desire to "go all-in and turn things around." Growing from 1200U to 48,000U relies on rules, patience, and ironclad discipline.
Many people are not unwilling to fight, but they haven’t found the right method. Opportunities are everywhere in the market every day, but those who understand and follow the rules will always be the ones to seize them.

I believe this story, but the key question is whether someone can actually follow through... Most people forget about it after reading, and next time they still go all-in.
It's not a matter of rules; it's human nature that's too difficult to overcome.
Wait, is that friend still playing now? It seems that people like that tend to become overconfident later on.
Dividing into three parts sounds simple, but how many can truly hold onto 400U without moving?

1200 to 48,000, that number looks exciting, but honestly, the hardest part is the mindset. I've seen too many people fail because of greed.
Rules sound simple, but sticking to them is the real hell mode.
This three-part approach has some merit, but when it comes to risk management, many people still fail to implement it properly.
The dream of turning everything around with a all-in gamble, why is it so hard to quit? A wave of profit just slips away.
Making money isn't hard; the real challenge is preventing it from slipping back, and that's the true test.
