# Small Capital Breakthrough Guide: How to Steadily Grow from 1500U to 35,000U

Many newcomers want to turn things around with a single move when entering the market, but often get wiped out in the first wave of volatility. However, changing your mindset—small capital can be an advantage because it keeps your mentality more stable. Some traders have used 1500U as capital, achieving 19,000U in 4 months and reaching 35,000U in half a year, all without a single liquidation. The key isn’t luck, but execution and systematic approach.

## Three Core Trading Principles

**1. Diversify and Isolate Risks**
Divide 1500U into three parts of 500U each: intraday trading group (aiming for 2%-4% quick profits), swing trading group (holding for 2-4 days to catch medium-term trends), and reserve group (not used, keeping a backup). This way, the maximum loss per trade is only 1/3 of the total capital, reducing psychological pressure and enabling clearer decision-making.

**2. Follow Trends and Avoid Sideways Markets**
Top cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH are most worth tracking. Identify sideways periods (about 80%) and actively avoid them, only entering when clear signals appear. Take half profits once gains reach 12% to lock in profits, and let the remaining position continue to run.

**3. Rules Over Feelings**
Set strict stop-loss points at ≤1.2% (exit immediately if hit), and proactively cut positions when profits exceed 2.5% (to secure gains). Do not add to losing positions (a common trap for losing control). Many people make money through discipline; losses often occur when rules are broken.

## Nine Practical Details

1. **Market Support Signal**: When the market crashes but a certain coin only dips slightly, it indicates market support, so holding is advisable.
2. **Technical Reference**: Watch the 5-day moving average for short-term, the 20-day for medium-term; exit gradually if it breaks down.
3. **Volume Judgment**: Buy during the early stage of a rally when volume hasn’t yet expanded; reduce positions after volume breakout.
4. **Time Discipline**: If a position doesn’t move after 3 days, cut losses; if loss reaches 5%, exit unconditionally.
5. **Oversold Rebound**: When a coin drops over 50% and falls for more than 8 days, consider light positions to test rebound opportunities.
6. **Priority**: Focus on leading coins; chasing high in trend-following is better than blindly bottom-fishing.
7. **Coin Selection**: Abandon weak coins; buy based on timing and suitability, not just low price.
8. **Review Habit**: Conduct weekly reviews to distinguish between luck and systematic advantage, gradually improving your trading system.
9. **Caution First**: When unsure, stay out of the market; preserving capital is always more important than chasing high returns.

The advantage of small capital is low error cost. As long as execution is strong, you can build your own trading system. The big opportunities in the crypto space are often for those with patience and discipline, not for gamblers.
