Give friends with only a few hundred U in their accounts a piece of advice: better to miss out on opportunities than to swipe a credit card to enter. Such tuition fees will turn into debt, suffocating you.

The crypto world is about strategy, not luck. The less capital you have, the more stable you need to be, staying patient like hunting for the right moment. I once mentored a beginner who started with only 600U, nervous with every order, afraid of losing everything at once.

I told him very simply: "Operate according to the rules, and you can succeed even slowly."

A month later, his account grew to 6,000U. After three months, it surged to 20,000U. He never liquidated his position during the process.

Someone asked if it was luck? Honestly, not at all. It’s all about disciplined execution. The following three rules are why he’s gotten this far:

**First, divide your funds into three parts to leave yourself a way out.**

How to split 600U? 200U for intraday short-term trading, focusing on Bitcoin and Ethereum, closing positions with 3%-5% fluctuations; 200U for swing trading, waiting for clear opportunities to enter, holding for 3-5 days before exiting; the last 200U is frozen, not touching it even in extreme market conditions. This money is the capital for turning things around.

Have you seen someone go all-in? When prices rise, they get excited; when they fall, they panic. They can’t stick to it. Those who truly make money understand that part of their funds must stay outside the market.

**Second, only follow trends, don’t waste energy in sideways markets.**

Most of the market time is sideways. Frequent trading is like giving trading fees to the exchange. Wait for clear signals; only act when they appear.

Take profit at 12%, then exit half. Only after cashing out do you feel secure.

This is the rhythm of experts: when not trading, wait patiently; when it’s time to act, make sure there’s a gain. During his account doubling process, I watched him steadily take profits, calm and patient, never rushing or chasing highs.

**Third, prioritize rules, control yourself.**

Stop-loss no more than 2% of the principal per trade; if the stop-loss is hit, exit decisively. When profits exceed 4%, reduce your position by half, letting the remaining run to continue earning. Never add to a losing position; don’t let emotions control you.

You don’t need to be right about every market move, but you must always follow the rules. The essence of making money is to use a system to restrain the impulse to operate recklessly.

This method isn’t complicated; the hard part is sticking to it. Many people lose because they can’t persist here.
