Friends who haven't saved up 1000U, I advise you not to rush to invest.

In the crypto world, this game has never been about who dares to gamble, but about who can survive longer in market cycles — those with less capital need to learn patience, waiting like a lurker for opportunities, rather than being blinded by gambling instincts and becoming market’s weeds.

I once mentored a novice whose account started with just 500U. The first time he opened the trading interface, his hands were trembling. Not because he was afraid of losing money, but because if that 500U was gone, he’d be completely out.

I set only one rule for him: Don’t think about getting rich overnight; focus on surviving first.

Do you know the result? In less than half a year, he grew his account to 5000U, and after three months, reached 18,000U, all without ever liquidating at a loss.

This is definitely not luck — it’s about strictly following trading rules.

For small funds to survive and grow, these three principles must be rooted in your mind.

**First Trick: The Three-Position Opening Method — always leave yourself an exit.**

Divide your principal into three parts. The first part is for quick trades — buy and sell rapidly, only trading top coins like BTC and ETH, taking profits at 8% to 15%, then exiting; don’t be greedy. The second part is for swing trading — wait for clear trend signals before acting, holding for about 3 to 6 days, then exiting to secure steady gains. The last part is for locking in profits — regardless of how crazy the market gets, don’t touch this, it’s your safety money when your mindset is about to break.

Those who go all-in on a single position and gamble everything rarely make it to the end.

**Second Trick: Don’t fight the sideways consolidation; wait for the trend to send you money.**

80% of the market time is sideways oscillation. Constantly entering and exiting just pays trading fees. Don’t trade without MACD golden cross or volume expansion signals — be patient and wait. When a real trend starts, then get in.

When a single trade gains 10%, take half profits first. For the remaining position, use trailing stop-loss to hold. The secret of experts is “fewer trades but each one hits the mark.”

**Third Trick: Use a system to defeat emotions.**

Before placing each trade, think through three things: where is your stop-loss (strictly control within a 2% loss per trade), how many levels of take-profit (take half profit at 15% to 20%), and never chase the rise to add positions.

Making money is about a system, not feelings.

Having less capital is not the problem. The real issue is always wanting to turn the tide in one shot. From 500U to a ten-thousand-level account, it’s about execution and respecting rules. Stick to this method, and even small funds can grow gradually.
